Stay tuned for more information once the JPop dance is over! *11-7-06* The 3rd Annual J-Pop dance was a huge success, leaving the club with the best financial standing it has ever had. Thank you everyone for helping the club flourish! The club is now focusing on its events for Genericon 2007, so turn to the Yahoo group page for discussion concerning that. In addition, the club hopes to have a full-fledged website up soon with member profiles, event planning and tutorials. * 7-3-06 * The club has changed leadership, please welcome our new President Jen. Also, we look forward to the 3rd Annual Picnic in two weeks. * 1-22-06 * The Winter Formal was obviously canceled, sorry to anyone who was planning on attending. We are now looking towards the Pincic. Also, look for us at Genericon this next weekend! We will be hosting a cosplay plannel. * 9-4-05 * Sorry... wow, we are bad at updating this page.. but then is anyone using it? Well, check the Yahoo group. a lot of new developments have formed. There will be a Halloween Jpop dance party this year, and pre-registration for the Masquerade ball is open. Also, the new officers are posted. * 7-19-05* Sorry for not updating in so long. The July meeting was called off due to the holiday. The picnic went over very well and we were quite successful. There will be a meeting on August 7th at which we will be holding officer elections, deciding the ticket price for the formal. * 6-8-05 * Had a meeting this past Sunday. We had several new people, and it was a well attended meeting. We worked out the details for the Bake Sale this coming saturday, 6-11-05. It will be at Michael's Crafts in Crossgates Commons. We need all the food we can get, so any donation is welcome! We also worked on the picnic a bit more, we are getting close, It is now only a month away! We currently have about 30 people pre-registered, and that number is climbing steadily. However, please pre-register soon, and encourage your friends to as well! Pre-registration is only open until July 1st, unless you come to the July meeting, you will be able to pre-reg at the meeting as well. If you would like to see the notes from this past meeting, go here. * 5-18-05 * Whoosh, the meeting on the 15th was super. We have the contract for the Marriott worked out and that will be covered thankfully by Kathie Greenwold. We do plan to hold a bake sale potentially at Michaels Crafts. Erica will be contacting the store to find out if it will be possible, and when we can possibly hold it. We are also planning to organize a Gothic/Horror photo shoot at Oakwood Cemetary for later in the summer. As for picnic related business, you may now sign up for food to bring to the picnic. Also, please, if you intend to submit any art for the Badge Art mini contest, submit it by June 1st. After we finished with the meeting we went out and did photos. If you would like to see some of the photos that Erica took, visit her gallery on cosplay.com, HERE. The next meeting is on June 5th. * 5-3-05 * May's meeting has been moved to May 15th, due to Mothers Day. Please bring with you any Garage Sale donations you might have, and everyone bring your pics from AB! We will do Anime Boston show and tell! Also, we will be hopefully getting some more nailed down for the picnic, PLEASE PRE-REGISTER TODAY! * 4-4-05 * At sunday's meeting we did some more picnic planning, please visit the picnic website for updates on that event. We also have a date reserved for the Winter formal for next year. It is going to be on January 7th, 2006 at the Marriot in Albany, NY in the Empire Room. There will be more information on ticket prices and everything at a later time. We figured out a place to meet up at Anime Boston too, but have not yet picked a time. You may see the map of the spot here: MAP. We started collecting for the Anime Garage sale, and also had a Costume show and tell time. Then we had some open Con etiquette discussion. Good meeting all around I would say! NEXT MEETING IS ON MAY 8th! (not may 2nd, because we will be at AB). * 3-8-04 * At the meeting on sunday we discussed the events for the picnic and appointed coordinators for different events and such. We will be having an Anime Garage Sale at the picnic and need donations of stuff to sell, contact Jen about donations or helping with the sale. Rachel also brought the info she has gotten from the Marriott and the Desmond about the Winter formal. It was a good meeting, not many people, but oh well... people were sleeping... :P The next meeting will be on April 3rd, and Erica will bring cupcakes!!! * 2-27-05 * Pre-Registration information for the picnic is up on the Picnic site. Click the banner above to visit the site. There is going to be a meeting next sunday at RPI at the usual time from 3pm to 5 pm. I think its safe to assume that we will be discussing the Picnic, and probably the Winter formal at least a little bit. Also we will probably talk a little more about the School Uniform workshop and fundraising. If you would like to donate any old Anime or collectibles to the club bring them to the meeting. * 2-17-05 * We have a date set for the Second Annual Upstate NY Cosplay Picnic! July 9th 2005! It will be held at the Saratoga Spa State Park and will be in the Orenda Pavilion (thats the really big one :D). And I know it is a bit late, but at the meeting on 2-6-05 we discussed preliminary plans for the Winter formal for next year, we have started looking into places to hold it. There was other stuff too, and hopefully notes from that meeting will be up soon... bad DJ... * 1-13-05 * At the meeting on 1-9-05 we discussed the Genericon Panel, Picnic Dates (Please visit the Yahoo Group to vote on dates), Fundraising, and the website. Go here for notes from the meeting. DJ has created a page as a index for the meeting notes, you can find that here. We are planning to print some Club T-Shirts, details will be posted as soon as we know prices and such. There will be another meeting for Genericon Panelists sometime soon. * 1-2-05 * The Next Meeting is going to be on 1-9-05.
