Happy Monday everyone!!
Tomorrow we will discuss things more in depth but for now I would like to post a quick update while my brain is on the topic - otherwise I will later lose my mind and not know what to do with myself. It's that kind of day. So.
Hannah and I took a quick trip to Nelson Market on South Green and picked up four boxes of cake mix. Two boxes of yellow and two boxes of devil's food. That makes about 100 cupcakes (assuming to boxes make 24 cupcakes each). I have been digging through Pinterest to find other recipes to try out - and goodness, was that a mistake. There are so many cupcakes on Pinterest.
I have plans to go to Kroger and/or Walmart later this week and pick up Angel Food cake mix, whipped cream, and chocolate, then close to the 11th I will pick up a batch of strawberries that can be chopped up and placed on top. Those should be a popular fix!
If anyone is wanting to help by donating food items or baking items like sugar, eggs, etc. to help out with the cause, they would be greatly appreciated - just send me a message on Facebook or ask a member of club for my personal contact information and contact me that way. We can work something out!
And finally, Walter has given us the OK to use his kitchen as our own personal bakery so I was hoping to do some baking on Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th, and then we can do the full on bake sale Saturday, the 11th.
See everyone tomorrow!

Board Election Results: 2015-2016
Greetings everyone! As of yesterday (well, close to 16 hours ago) the club held the board elections for the 2015-2016 school year. Some of the votes were close but the results are in.
Next year, the board will look like this:
President: Maddie Stricklin
Vice President: Tristan Wayne
Treasurer: Halee Smith
Scribe: Ali Smith
Webmaster: Hannah Yinger
I look forward to having a fun year as President next year. Next month I will pass on the Scribe/PR torch to Ali and show her the ropes of updating you all on our actions!
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday (especially if you're like me and you've had only about 12 hours of sleep over the course of the last 3 days)!

Restaurant Trip Update
Hello everyone!
As previous updates have explained, on November 22 we will be making a trip to Columbus to eat at Sushiko. Our reservation is for 26 people at 12:30 pm.
On Facebook, we have a document that will allow you to put yourself in a car for the trip. Departure times will depend on the driver of said vehicle. If you do not put yourself in a car then you will not be given a ride - it is your responsibility.
On that note. I have contacted the manager of the restaurant personally and we have discussed the terms of having a large group in his establishment. He has asked that we pay by table and not per person - this is simply a convenience factor for their business. So I ask that everyone bring cash to pay for their meals or work out payment with those you plan on sitting with (someone pays with their card and others pay said person back, etc. This entirely depends on the people you will be sitting with).
And secondly, the manager has also given me his personal email and has requested we send in everyone's orders to him the day before so they can prepare things shortly before everyone's arrival. I will open up a document on the facebook for everyone to access and record their required amount of raw fish and tempura and soup.
I can't wait for the day to get here when we get together! See everyone soon!

Room Update: Friday Showings
Hello my fellow anime watchers and game players!
With one of two projectors in the 201 Morton room being out we talked to Chubb Hall and managed to get room 237 Morton. Hoping everything in this room works to our specifications.
We will place a note on the doors of 201 as a reminder of this change.
Thank you and see you all tomorrow!!

Urgent Ohayocon Update
So the Treasurer went on a small errand to double check the dates that all funding was due and came to find that the Ohayocon webpage had made a rather large typo they had missed for the last few months - the badge fee is actually due September 15, not October 15. So, now that they have fixed it, we must fix our own thing.
Due to the application date being September 15 and not October 15: if you plan on going to Ohayocon 2015 with us, your badge fee ($40) is due on one of the following days: Friday September 5, Tuesday September 9 or Friday September 12. The money is due to Jimmy - or if he is not available at a Friday showing, you may give it to another board member to give to him.
With that being said, please turn in your money as soon as you can so we can get you the cheapest rate possible.
Enjoy your Friday!

An Update about the Grab Bag Showing.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the double update today. We have encountered a slightly error in the Grab Bag list.
Unfortunately, Saint Young Men does not have an anime series. So it must be struck from the Grab Bag title list.
To replace it is the next thing on the list. With a total of 17 votes, Samurai Flamenco will be added into the empty slot to put us back at 11 for the Friday Showing.
Sorry for the inconvenience and enjoy the rest of your afternoon!

Public Relations Officer 2014-2015

About the Meeting Tomorrow [April 1st]
In case any one has not read the email sent out or missed the Facebook post from the President herself, there will be no club meeting tomorrow due to lack of things that need discussing this week.
Meetings will continue as the normally would next week to discuss the club Saturday Picnic and the Finals Week plans for the study rooms.
Hope you all have a good Monday and enjoy the nice weather we're having.

Update from the Tuesday Meeting
If you missed the meeting Tuesday here's a quick update one what we discussed.
The picnic/Saturday Social is set for April 12th at the moment, starting at 5 PM. It will be potluck style and the document will be available on the Facebook for you to add what you will be bringing. We will be grilling out at the West State Street ball field back behind the University Commons and behind Larry's Dawg House (do not worry. It is about a 25 minute walk from campus).
The list of what is being brought so far is as follows:
Hannah Yinger = buns!!
Maddie Stricklin = Homemade Sugar cookies
There are some upcoming events through OU that the club may take a part in - once that is decided, we will update you!
Also, tomorrow night at 7:00 PM at the Memorial Auditorium there will be a Tao: Pheonix Rising Taiko drum concert. It costs $12 for OU Students to get in at the door and it looks to be a great show. Ali and myself will be going so feel free to join us!
See everyone tomorrow at the showing

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.

Update for the Day
Hello fellow J-Convicts. Welcome to the hell that is winter - well, at least the worst of it here in Ohio. There is NO meeting tonight due to the fact that Ohio University has closed it's campus for the first time in a few years. Long story short:
I hope everyone has warm blankies and hot cocoa and socks - preferably socks fresh from the dryer - and a snuggle buddy, because you're going to need it!! Stay warm, stay safe!! Maddie Stricklin
