I felt that these two meetings should be mentioned in one post since they were somewhat related to eachother.
Anyways, the 10th meeting was on May 16th. I went to the usual room and saw that there were a lot of people; not members but other students, inside. It was really crowded and after observing a bit, I saw that it was my sponsor teacher's students who were frantically submitting a project. I waited a bit and not many members showed up; I think at most there were two, so I talked to those members and the meeting was done.
It turns out that the members thought there would be no meeting since the room was so crowded. Seeing that the room would be crowded again for something very important in the school, I told them to meet me in the library for the next two meetings. I'm glad I did that since the room did turn out to be crowded the next week.
The 11th meeting was then held in the library on May 23rd. When I entered the library and saw my members, I had great news! You see, the day before, I went to the library and signed out two, very good digital cameras. It was perfect timing as well since on the 23rd we had a carnival in our school. When I showed them the cameras, I assigned one to one of my members to take pictures of the event happening inside our regular room (the event that made us move into the library was for a sick teacher) and the other to a member for taking pictures of the carnival. She gave it to her sister, who I personally know, and she took pictures of the carnival for us in the evening.
So far, article wise, I'm very proud of majority of my members. There are a few; who are very trustworthy and hardworking in their own ways, who haven't submitted articles on time. I've talked to them, so hopefully they'll be able to catch up for this week.
I'm still very proud of the paper and the members nonetheless.

9th Meeting
It was really eventful on the 9th!
One member that was gone for the other few meetings came back; she was sick,
so I updated her on the things that we were able to do over the past couple of months.
She's going to be doing an advice column for the paper, so that'll hopefully attract a lot of attention in our school.
There are other meetings happening in the school on Thursdays
so some members haven't been able to attend some meetings.
But thankfully, majority of them have Facebook so I've been keeping them up to date with it.
Lately I've been really promoting the paper as well.
I've sent e-mails to teachers whom I'm close with,
tweets to some teachers that have lots of followers in the school,
and I even posted stuff on Facebook.
I requested that the school website has the paper there as well,
and right now the site is under maintenance.
So I hope that's a good sign.
I really want this paper to be popular among our school.
It will, for one, voice out all the members' opinions
and at the same time it will pressure them to keep up with things.
That's all I have to say about last meeting.
I can't wait for next Thursday!

8th Meeting
May 2nd, 2013.
It was a great meeting day today! Everyone was pumped since we were able to get a lot of page views! We had about 60, if I can remember correctly.
On this meeting, we decided to break our "one-article-per-person" limits and decided to do do tons of things for the paper! Myself and one of the members are going to collaborate on a paper about the political people that came to our school on Wednesday the 1st, and that same member is going to get a short story from her friend and make a "Guest Writer" post!
As well, another member is going to write a poem and possibly something else. The other two members I have will write about entertainment; one will write about music vidoes, the other will write a review of Iron Man 3. My comic drawer is making the comic as I type, and we decided to make it a bi-weekly thing so that it's easier for her to plan/draw things out.
Everything is going very smoothly, but I can't help but be a bit worried about my task for this week. Since the member who wrote about sports doesn't want to write about it anymore, I have to fill it in. I'm not necessarily upset, since I love sports, but I might have a hard time getting things from school or from other sources since I'm not the "sport savvy" type and can hardly tell the difference from a "clean hit" to a "bad hit" in hockey.
I'll do my best though, everyone seems to be pulling their own; if not more, weight in this club. I'm very happy I could get them involved like this.
Oh, as well, a girl did the vow of silence a long while ago, but never published her article about it. I'm happy to say that my sponsor teacher recommended that we post it anyways. It's an important issue to address, so I really hope she remembers to publish this time.
