Anime-Comics Fan Club Meeting
Come on out to our next Anime-Comic Fan Club meeting! We will have a short meeting, where among other things we will VOTE on a club name. Then we will have two sets of guest speakers. First up is the Auburn Area Community Theatre who will talk to us about costuming on a budget. Then the Cosplayers' Association at Auburn will take the floor to guide us through the wonderful world of cosplay; seven of their members will be coming in character. I wonder "who" we will meet?

I

transition back peaceable and in ONE PIECE!Be blessed! Miss Laurie and Veronica (the art kitty)
Free Wi-Fi There is now FREE Wi-Fi at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center and from what I understand many of the recreational facilities in Auburn. At the JDCAC the wireless network is called AuburnWeb and my Nook connected to it automatically and with ease. Several of my students who took my last anime class also were able to access it. I told the kids they were free to use it as long as they went on sites pre-approved by their parents. The rules are that is not to be a disruptive influence and if I found out they went somewhere they weren’t supposed to they were banned from using Wi-Fi in my classes FOR LIFE. That got their attention.

Private
Art Lessons schedule reminder Please remember that I am happy to work around your busy
school schedule. I do not mind if I have
to schedule around special days or if you have to skip a week for a vacations,
holiday, special event, etc. But once we agree to the dates you will be attending, I expect you here on those dates. I plan my other activities and work around
you. It takes a lot of time and effort
to schedule my day since I have to plan for transportation (which could include
the bus, walking or a friend helping me), my online job and etc. So it is not fair to me to not come to a
private art lesson because of a play day, birthday party, vacation, etc and
then expect me to make it up later. I
reserve a time for you and I expect you to be here. If you do have to cancel, I will have to
insist on 24-hours notice. Make-ups will
only be given if you have to miss for an emergency situation (extreme weather,
illness, death, etc). Please remember
that any make-ups will only be given if I have time on my schedule and on a
case-by-case basis.

Anime Madness
Anime Madness
Good news anime, manga and comic book fans. Miss Laurie has gotten the green light (That
means GO!) to hold the yet to be unnamed anime club at the Jan Dempsey
Community Arts Center.
I am working on a date and time as we speak and as soon
as I have that confirmed I will let you know.
I’m hoping to have it before school starts.
I will be making a special mailing list so if you want
to be the anime club email list, please send me a quick email. At some point, we may have a blog or
something for just us. Parents I would
like your input on where your kids can go online. (For example: Do you allow them to go on
Facebook, deviantART, You Tube, blogs, etc.)
I want this club to be about the kids but I also want to help inform
parents about anime/manga and comics and FIRMLY SUPPORT your decisions on what
they are exposed to.
For our first event ever, we are having a BACK
TO SCHOOL BLUES BLAST! You
must wear something blue; be creative and think outside of the box. What Miss Laurie is doing may just surprise
you! The plans are still in the works,
but so far the Neko Art Lady is planning to have a pizza party along with games
and hopefully prizes and much more.
HELP
NEEDED FROM PARENTS
1.
Parents I would like your input on where
your kids can go online. (For example:
Do you allow them to go on Facebook, deviantART, You Tube, blogs, etc.) I want this club to be about the kids but I
also want to help inform parents about anime/manga and comics and FIRMLY
SUPPORT your decisions on what they are exposed to.
2.
I am agoraphobic. In my case it means I do not do well in large
crowd situations and that is why I only teach small groups. So for right now the club will be limited to
my students. I would like some parents
who would be willing to help out when the club grows. We would probably meet once or twice a month. What you can do to help is be supportive and
understanding.
3.
The club will be free to join, but some
things will cost a small fee. We are
hoping to have some fund-raisers and things in the future. For this event, I will require the students
to bring $5 for pizza. Also if you would
be willing to donate drinks, cups, napkins and plates let me know.
4.
Prizes wanted. I would like to have door prizes and prizes
for the games. If you have something you
could donate that would be great. Ideas
include: gift cards, notebooks, pencils, art supplies, etc. Please let me know.
HELP
NEEDED FROM STUDENTS
1.
This club will be for you. There is a club on campus for college age
students and there is one at the high school, so I am looking to make a club
for my age-range kids. We might change
the ages later, but we have to start somewhere.
2.
Ideas for shows for the Trivia bingo game.
3.
Be thinking of ideas for the club name and
mascot (Not a game mascot, but a cute side kick chibi-type mascot). There will be a contest and a NICE prize for
the logo / mascot winner.
4.
I would like you to think about what you
would like the club to be like. I do
want your input, but remember Miss Laurie will be the final authority. For example: What ages, who should we invite,
how many people, do we want officers, etc?
5.
Volunteers needed. I think it would be great if some of my older
students who are going into high school or college would be willing to come and
help us out. If you are interested let
me know. I also would like someone who would like to be our secretary and take
notes when we have a meeting so I don’t have to. It’s an important job and I need someone I
can count on. (We can give you a cool
title.)
6.
I am agoraphobic. In my case it means I do not do well in large
crowd situations and that is why I only teach small groups. So for right now the club will be limited to
my students. I want us to be able to
invite our friends and etc. I’m hoping
to get some parents and older students to help. What you can do to help is
be willing to listen and cooperate. I
really, really want to make this happen, but if it becomes too overwhelming I
just won’t be able to.
7.
Prizes wanted. I would like to have door prizes and prizes
for the games. If you have something you
could donate that would be great. Do you
have some small anime / comic book related items you don’t want anymore? Please let me know. For example:
I am donating some anime related postcards.
