Hello,

For those who may not have heard the dates for Animethon 17 have been announced; August 6-8, 2010.
Also this year we will be having a small one-day event called Taste of Animethon. We will be holding this on February 27, 2010 at MacEwan University.

Please check our schedule page and/or forums for more information.

Hello,

ASAPA will be having a General Meeting on Sunday, October 25th at 1PM at
Grant MacEwan University's downtown Edmonton campus (10700 104Ave) in room
7-142.
The primary purpose for this meeting is to hold an election for positions
on the board of directors.

ASAPA is responsible for running Animethon, hosting dances and sponsoring
other events throughout the year. Sadly, in recent years, the number of
people willing to serve on the board of directors has decreased to such
dangerous levels that it threatens the viability of the Society. Without
ASAPA, these events will not take place.

For those wishing to gain or renew membership the cost is $5 CDN. These
memberships are valid until the next Annual General Meeting in April. Only
members are eligible to vote, nominate and run for positions on the board.

The board typically consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer, and 3 Directors at Large.

Members may submit proposals to be resolved at the General Meeting
however, they are required to file their proposals with both the President
and Secretary of the Society at least 14 days before the meeting.


Food and refreshments will be available.


Thank you for your interest.

Hi Eveyone,

For those interested who did not get this e-mail as of yet:


Let me start by thanking everyone one who works on Animethon as it would of never happening without you all.

Currently, Animethon is at a crossroad as our staff numbers have been dwindling down as the event has grown. In order for Animethon to continue next year we need to increase our staff numbers so that we can continue to bring the event together as well as decrease the burden of everything that needs to be done on each individual. In order to do this we need all our past and present staff and volunteers to step up to the plate or else Animethon might not be able to continue.

In order to get a head start on the event and to start the work early ASAPA has appointed me as the Chair of Animethon 17. However, ASAPA will be taking applications for the committee positions we post every year and information on that will be up on the web site shortly. The committee will continue to mange Animethon but this task cannot be done without the help of everyone else who wants to be staff and volunteer their time to this event.

In order for all of this to happen we will have a general staff/volunteer meeting so that we may discuses the future of Animethon as well as what is required in order to rebuilt it to the level of where it should be for an event it’s size. As such we need as much of you to come to this meeting to ensure this will happen or else there is a good chance Animethon might be delayed or even canceled!

Currently, the meeting is proposed to be held on either Saturday Afternoon (1:00 pm) or Sunday Afternoon (1:00 pm) or Monday Night (6:30 pm) of September 12 – 14. We need you to please get back to us as soon as possible (preferably by Friday, September 4 by the latest) so that we can book a classroom for the day that as many people as possible are able to attend. The future of Animethon is in all your hands.

Thanks,

Vlad G Pohnert
Animethon 17 Chair
