S’up JMACers,

Sara here, reporting to you from under a blanket on this Sunday evening. Though the weather is rough out there, whether there’s subarctic windchill, a snowpocalpse or a senior thesis armageddon, the weekly email must be delivered!

Some Reminders

The Japanese media appreciation club’s annual winter appreciation activity is scheduled for next Saturday! JMAC on Ice (and a Dim Sum dinner) will take place in Millennium Park (and Chinatown afterwards) on this coming Saturday, January 23rd. Meet up at the Lincoln Park Student Center between 11-11:30am to join in on the winter festivities!

Our most anticipated event of the year is coming near: the JMAC Voice Actor Event with Kyle Hebert! Kyle is most notably known for voicing Gohan and narrator from the Dragonball series, Ryu from Street Fighter, and Kamina from Gurren Lagaan. A panel and Q&A with Kyle will take place on Saturday, February 6th in SAC room 254 from 12-4pm.

Next Week’s Meeting (or lack thereof): Mitsuwa Outing!

Because the university is closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, JMAC will not its regularly scheduled weekly meeting. Instead, we will spend an afternoon at Mitsuwa, a store that specializes in Japanese food, books, pastries and more! On Monday, January 18th, JMAC and DCMC (the DePaul Comics and Manga Club) are going on a joint outing to Mitsuwa Marketplace in the northwestern suburb of Arlington Heights.

Meet JMAC President Eric and DCMC President Ariana at Brownstones in the Lincoln Park Student Center between 10:30-11am. At 11am sharp, we will be headed to the Rosemont blue line stop (at approx. 11:45am) in the hopes of catching a 12pm Pace bus to Mitsuwa, so come join us on this holiday adventure with a hearty appetite and bus money~
