7th Meeting

Yesterday on the 25th of April, I talked about various things.
Here are the notes I made for the meeting (along with notes added after with a *)

---

Entertainment: *Iron Man 3 preview - S. D.
Sports: *Rugby Season - K. H.
Current Events: *Spirit Week - Me
Other: *Drawing/comic: Mascot comics - N. K (I'll help with ideas)
Other: *Poems/LGBT Stuff: A. W.
Mrs. P is going to put the newspaper link on the school website
COMMITMENT! We need it!
I'll ask Mrs. Painchaud to put reminders every Wednesday that there's Newspaper Club on the day after. E.g. "A reminder that tomorrow there's a Newspaper Club meeting at lunch in B111"
and on Thursdays: "Newspaper Club is meeting today at B111 at lunch".

That's basically what happened.
I was able to discuss all the plans for this week's edition and get people committed to the club still.
I'm really glad with what's happened so far with the club.
I know that I've been saying that I was worried that things would fall apart,
but so far they're starting to look up!

I need to remember that some members need to be reminded every once in a while,
and that not all members have phones/Facebook so I'll need to contact them personally.

But so far I'm really excited for our first, full issue!

6th Meeting

On that day's meeting, I think I came to terms with the fact that most of my members were gone.
It's sad to say, but I lost all but 4 of my members.
From 12 people to 4, it's somewhat saddening.

However, with the people I have left, I've been able to do a few things.

We have a paper on paper.li, a website that creates a virtual paper every week. The only thing is though, we need to make updates every week or else old articles will stay on there.

It'll be a challenge, but I think with these 4 it'll push through!

Here's a link!

Monday Meeting with Sponsor

On April 15th, I met with my sponsor teacher at lunch to discuss how to set up a certain program for the newspaper.
It was really helpful since it hotlinks all my sources and keeps them in memory so that I don't have to constantly go back and fourth to see if my sources updated or not.

Anways, this is a short post.
Tomorrow is our 6th meeting,
I hope people remember this time.

5th Meeting

This was the meeting we had two Thursdays after spring break.
At this meeting, only myself, a sponsor teacher and two other members showed up.
It was a bit saddening to see such a small amount of people show up,
but I went on with the meeting anyway, and we actually got a lot done!

We decided that this would be the week that we started posting stuff.
I need to go over something with one of the sponsor teachers,
but we were planning to post something every Sunday night/Monday morning.

We have three sections of the newspaper so far.
Sports, Current Events/Upcoming Events and Entertainment.

I actually finished my article,
and I plan to post it Sunday night.
The two people doing Entertainment are apparently watching a movie today,
and are going to review it later,
and one of my members is in the rugby team,
so she's going to talk about the game she had a few days ago.

I'm glad things are picking up now,
and I can't wait for things to really start running!
