We are having a water gun fight/get together on Saturday May 2nd at the Merced College. It will be a get together to cool off before finals week, which is the week after, so invite everyone you know ヾ(＾∇＾)! Also, there will be an anime(yet to be determined) showing on the same day so take your pick out of the ones here at operation anime:
http://www.operationanime.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.calendar
There will be a vote this coming Friday.
The anime showing this month is Samurai Seven on Saturday April 25th. The time and date are not finalized yet so this may change(waiting for the email that says "your are given the right to show this").
We're registered for the upcoming club competition by PAA called the Gauntlet on Sunday the 19th at 10:00am at the academic quad so come out and help us attack the other clubs! There will be props (boffer weapons) for people to hold and be making armbands for everyone there. The Gauntlet will consist of several rallies which can be as physically strainous as running to something akin to scramble where you make words out of a bunch of letters.
Our club flag will most likely not be ready by the Gauntlet. This is because Joan's in Merced does not sell sheet velcro which was what we decided to use for the flag. The flag will be completed at a later date when we(Me, Vinh, or K) get the material from a store that sells it (most likely when we decide to go home).
As for our club armbands I just need people to help me make them, since i'm a poor artist, so whoever is up for that just reply back to this email saying your up for it and your phone number if i don't already have it. I have time to drive people and make these things on Saturday or Friday after 2:30pm so I'll call the people who respond on friday then on saturday(if they aren't finished).
We discussed last meeting about having a group trip to Japan. One of our members (Ryan) has an Aunt who can give us discounts on airplane tickets to japan. Our goal for next year is the raise enough money to cover some of the costs of the tickets for everyone who helps fundraise and the rest we pay out of our own pockets. It will be a tour trip, where we stay a few nights and sightsee places in Japan. Ryan said he will get back to me on the cost so i'll update everyone as soon as i know how much it will cost everyone.
So until we meet again I'll be blasting off at the speed of light! (to the planet known as "studying for midterms")
