The tentative JAFWA program for Saturday 10^th March 2012 is below. To be held in the Collins Street Community Center on Collins Street just off Canning Highway in South Perth.

Things of Note:
1) St Valentine’s Day was February 14. White Day is March 14, when men lucky enough to have received chocolate, be it honmyo or giri are obligated to reciprocate with a gift of white, usually chocolate. This year I need only reciprocate a couple of gifts.

Dale’s Suggestive Remarks, based on suggestion sheets handed in at JAFWA:
An unsigned suggestion from 11/02/2012

After Chi’s Sweet Home you should play Poyopoyo which is airing this season. It’s cute, about a cat and the episodes are 2:30 minutes each.

Interesting. Good to see all positive feedback.

And “No. 6″ continues to intrigue. Need to see more to say more.

An unsigned JAFWA feedback form received on 18/02/2012

+Mouretsu Pirates
+Nodame Cantabile Paris chapter
+No. 6

Thank you Thank you Thank you!
We have been desperately searching for a replacement for Chi for a while now, with people suggesting the same things time and time again. There are only 11 episodes of “Nyanpire” after all.
Finally a new suggestion. I shall get my, um, sources onto acquiring samples.

But one notices an odd situation. Why cats? All these short shows, Chi, Nyanpire and now Poyopoyo all feature cats. Is this some grassroots world conquest attempt by our Feline overlords? At 2 1/2 minutes it does suggest their attention span.

* The committee is looking at re-writting and then replacing the current constitution and by-laws of JAFWA. We are seeing if the membership is agreeable to have the process completed for the next year election. Some of the changes are
- Changing the number of the committee from eight (8) to seven (7)
- Removing the vice president position
- Creating “assistant to” position for the President, Secratary, Treasurer roles
- Creating a marketing position for the purpose of making sure our deals (E.G. 20% off at Madman) are current and seeing if we can get similar deals with new companies/suppliers (E.G. Siren Visual)
