Fundraiser and Saturday Showing!

Good afternoon everyone! PR here again with some more updates for you!

This Saturday the 20th we will be holding 2 events.

First is the Fundraiser, which will be a Bake Sale at the Alumni Gateway across the street from either of the bookstores on Court Street. Set up will be at 9:30 am, the event will happen between 10 am and 1:30 pm at the latest. We are planning to make grilled cheese, PB&Js, vegan brownies and we will be serving cold beverages like Orange Juice and Cider. There are also possibilities of pumpkin spice muffins, french toast and other baked breakfast items.

If anyone needs to make a trip to Kroger for supplies they wish to donate to this event I - Maddie - will be giving rides tomorrow [Friday] during dinner break which has been extended to an hour to allow time for this trip. I have room for 2-3 more people if a trip needs to be made. Samantha and Ali have offered their rental house's kitchen on Walker Street for use to do baking if it is needed and Fajer has offered her kitchen to any girls who would like to join her and Bailey in her house at River Park. Please contact them (or me) if you need to "borrow" a kitchen.

Second is the Retro Gaming Saturday Showing! In early celebration of Nintendo's 125th Anniversary (and early celebration of my and Ryan B's birthdays which fall on the same day as Nintendo's actual anniversary) we will be hosting a get together in Morton 218 and 219 from 6 pm throughout the early morning hours. The room has been reserved for 5:30 so set up for any big events can happen if necessary.

At this even we will have WiiU and Wii games, SNES/NES games, GameCube games, 90's anime, Jeopardy, Karaoke, Cosplay contest and "Horrible Fanfiction" for those who wish to stick around and check that out. We hope to see everyone there!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or any other board members! We're more than happy to help you out!

It's almost Friday so hang in there friends!

Update: February 20, 2014

I waited to update everyone because a lot of the things that we have been doing are all similar in taste from the last few Tuesday meetings. To make it easier on all of you I wanted to update you all at once rather than put it into thirds and make it confusing.

Last week we reviewed what we wanted to change in the Japanese Connection Constitution. Some of the Easter Eggs within it were changed and the idea of moving the size of the board and jobs of each board member were reviewed, as well as a few clauses were added involving "Damn it, Jimmy/Rico" and the calling of a member who has attended for the most years "Uncle". We also thought to add a clause stating that a certain someone cannot play Mario Party unless personally asked to take care of someone who's on a bit of an obnoxious winning streak.

This week we put everything to a vote.

1. Librarian Title has been removed from the Board; Board is now 5 member large
2. Public Relations has been changed to "Scribe" and the duties have been shuffled, removed and added
3. "Damn it, Jimmy" and/or "Damn it, Rico" are to be said when anyone or anything does something wrong
4. Jacob is not allowed to play Mario Party unless the club deems it necessary
5. Vice President is in charge of the Prize Bin
6. Stonecocks is now Ironcocks

Also on the agenda for the week after Spring Break (March 3 through March 7) are elections. So far, the people running for positions are as follows...

President:
  ~ Samantha Faris

Vice President:
  ~ Pancake Syrup [inside joke]
  ~ Matthew Scottie Luhn

Treasurer:
  ~ Alison Smith
  ~ Jimmy Bulow

Scribe:
  ~ Maddie Stricklin
  ~ Ryan Brown

Webmaster:
  ~ Luke Oleksiak
  ~ Hannah Yinger

These are subject to change within the week as people can nominate others at the next Tuesday meeting or they can drop their nomination if they no longer wish to run. Voting will ensue on March 11.

In other news - and to move onto something more exciting - there will be a Saturday Social this weekend (February 22) from 5 to 11. The time ending is more of a question rather than a statement seeing as we usually run over and there are plenty of events planned. It will be held in Morton 235, just like the Friday Showings. The schedule looks something like this:

5-11 in Morton 235

Game Systems @ 5/5:15
   w/ Maddie, Ryan & Jimmy
Psyduck, Psyduck, Slowbro @ 5/5:15
   [During Video game play]
   *Online game of Cards Against Humanity may ensue*
Blank vs. Blank @ 6:45 PM
   w/ Luke, Fajer & Ali
Tristan's GlopGlop Fanfic Game @ 8:15
   w/ Tristan [and other judges if needed]
Jeopardy @ 10 PM
   w/ Jimmy & Ali
"Spring Break Spectacular" -- After Jeopardy w/ Luke & Jimmy

Console Games will range from a variety of Mario games, Just Dance 4, Black Eyed Peas Experience, and more. Games will be explained upon request if any new people arrive and wish to partake in our shenanigans.

And lastly, a final tally was taken for those who wish to go to Midoricon 2.5 on March 29 and March 30. Hope everyone who goes has a great time!

Long post is long. But no worries. It's over.

Kudos and see you guys Friday.
