 Jonni Colvin provided an outstanding program on manga drawing for the club.  Seventeen members practiced drawing facial expressions and learned new techniques.  Student members were recognized for their support in caring for the manga collection by keeping it shelved and readily available for all manga readers.  This was an excellent meeting with members learning how to draw manga style faces with the help of an excellent artist!

Suggestion for next month: Origami  Lanterns.

Thanks to Josh C. and Joseph, the collection has been shelved and well organized. Students discussed some of their favorite series and previewed an anime dvd. The cereal collection has gone very well thanks to the generous contributions of a number of the Manga Club members. The boxes will be delivered to the Keep the Change Food Pantry this week!

Club Meeting

We had an excellent first meeting for the school year with 15 members strong. We discussed the goals of the club and enjoyed some treats. We have a new leadership team: Heath, Trey, Josh, and Dirk. Although a number of members were interested in the positions, we could only select four. Members recommended several web pages for free anime since the Operation Anime site has been closed: Anime Freak and Watch Cartoons Online Anime List. The leadership team will meet to discuss student management of the manga collection: maintenance, shelving, and creating lists of series to consider purchasing. The members are serious fans of all things manga and anime. This is going to be a great year!
