Here is all the data I have gathered on the various anime clubs east
of the Mississippi.

First is a list of all the clubs I know of and then a section with
expanded listings based on information received DIRECTLY from the
club.

Sorry for the delay but I tried writing most of the clubs via USMail
and got back only *ONE* response (from Anime X).

If you know of any clubs not on the list, or can correct any
information, please email me.

Due to a hard drive crash last month, I *LOST* data, so if anyone sent
any corrections, and you don't see it reflected here, please send it
again!

Thanks!

Steve

Contact person/Coordinator:  Richard Uyeyama

Coordinator Address/Phone number:  (see above)

Electronic address of Coordinator/Liaison:  uyeyama2@husc.harvard.edu
(note: my current local phone # is usually listed in my .plan)

Type of organization (local, regional, national, international)
Local.  Having been formed just last year (late 1991), the majority of our audience is understandibly Harvard students.  We are growing, however, and have had a few people come to our showings who are not directly involved in the immediate Harvard community...

Membership requirements (dues, etc)
Membership is currently $5 for the school year ($4 for continuing members).
All money will eventually go back into the club, via costs of publicity (very important), or club tape purchases for future showings, or whatever...  As a matter of current policy, all showings are both free and open to the  public.  However, members will be given preferencial seating if the size of the crowd necessitates such action.  Members will also be given personal phone invitations/reminders a few days before each showing, assuming, of  course, that the publicity coordinator is not too busy with aca

demics to take the time to do so... (grin)

Number of members:
Currently official members number only around a dozen, or maybe even as many as around 15, but as we have just started, we hope that our numbers will soon grow...  The average number of people who show up to our showings, however, is usually as high as 20 or 25.

Publications and newsletter info:  No publications and no newsletter currently.

Organization tape Library or tape trading:  No lending library currently.

Projects: (Subtitling, translating, etc) No projects currently

Meeting times/admission/etc:  
Current schedule is a pair of showings about every 2 to 4 weeks, on Friday
and Saturday (same stuff is shown on both nights), generally starting around
7:30-ish.  Admission is free, but seating is limited...

Club History:

Notes: [Steve, as to the above information, I could be a lot more specific, but as the school year officially draws to a close next week Friday (5/22), I figure I should probably give you next year's info, but as I don't know what my exact phone # next year is going to be yet, I figure I could just leave things as above until next school year, when I can send you more detailed info...  So sometime mid- to late- September, or thereafter, send me a line if you remember, that I won't forget...]
