CIO-AMAGE Meet-and-Greet Part 2

Hi, everyone. We all know that there have been new members joining us in the past few months. We, the officers, decided that it is time that we organize another meet-and-greet session.

The date will be this Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. We have specifically chosen this hour so that those that will be working can be available and will be able to join, especially the new members of the club. We hope the current ones can also have the time to join us as well.

The meeting will be somewhere in the Jones area since there are Nihonggo classes before that. If you can arrive before 7:00 pm do drop by at Club Ultima, Crown Regency Tower 2, at the 18th or 19th floor. To those that can't make it before 7:00, feel free to drop an SMS at 09234503052. Just make sure to identify yourself.

Agenda will include getting to know the new members, so that they can have an idea whose face belongs to which username. There might also be discussion about the J-music Festival but the focus will be in knowing the new members.

Note: This post was posted in Istorya.net three weeks ago. However, I (Seishi) had been too busy to paste this here since I had other things to do. Apologies if this seems like short notice but actually this had been announced three weeks ago. Still, we do hope you guys can come.

Thanks.

Ijou.

CIO-AMAGE Meet-and-Greet

Konnichiwa, minna-san! This is Seishi, speaking on behalf of 13 who is still unavailable due to absence of Internet connection at her place. Here are some updates for the Society.

Good news! The first CIO-AMAGE gathering was a success. More than 20 members showed up for the meet-and-greet in Ayala Center, Cebu City. Meeting place was varied, but since majority of the members who showed up (members of the Cosplay Arts forum) were gathered at Seattle's Best, I took the initiative to tell all other members to head there.

There were three different groups that showed up:

* CIO-AMAGE external members (those that do not belong to any other existing clubs)
* Cosplay Arts
* Cebu Cosplaying Club (four members)

Pictures are available at the Society's Multiply account. Link here.

What happened that day was: after 3 hours of waiting for 13, I decided to just push through with the introductions. The members were quite creative with that. It was as if I ony had to give them a prod and they went through with it. Congratulations, CIO-AMAGE members. We also shared YM ID's although I wasn't able to get them from Jackie who has them. Stupid of me.

When 13 did arrive, we introduced the club to the members who remained. Most of them had to leave because their parents had picked them, or they had a curfew, etc. We took some suggestions, and those are:

* Election of officers (to be held after the CCC cosmeet). Suggestions, everyone?
* Nihonggo Lessons. I'm currently negotiating with Mikare, who said his girlfriend Gem Shinosuke can teach us for free.
* Weekly meet so that everyone can know each other.

During the meeting, 13 and I agreed that we will attend the CCC's Cosmeet this Saturday as a show of support, and a chance to talk with Hidan of the CCC. As for myself, it's a good photo op for my Sony DSC-W120.

Well, that's about it. That's what happened at the first CIO-AMAGE gathering, and I'm optimistic that we can pull this through.
