Introduction:
Hello there, friend!
We at the Australian & New Zealand Anime Club are proud to present... Our very first newsletter!

This community was founded on the 28th of January - 2015, and since that time we've come a very long way.
You are only reading this because YOU made it possible by being a very important piece of what makes this club what it is.

That said, we are happy to announce that we're coming close to reaching the 1,000 Member Milestone!
It's a wonderful thing to know that there are so many fellow Aussies and Kiwis who love Anime and we hope that we only continue to grow from here on out.

About the newsletter:
So you might ask, what's this newsletter all about?
Well, great question. We've scratched our heads a few times and figured that this newsletter will be dedicated to letting you know that we're active!

Despite the substantial growth of our club, there is still a handful of you that we still haven't had the pleasure of getting to know.
We want you to understand that this is a safe and fun club, but if you're shy then we're not going to force you to participate, this is simply to remind you that there is a place for everyone at this club, so if you ever warm up - come and say hi!

Here's what's happening right now:
We have a wide selection of club activities that you can participate in, from anime discussion to club games or casual conversation.
Anyone in the club is free to make up whatever thread they feel would interest people!

What we hopefully have planned for the future:
GFX Competitions, Giveaways, Club Member of the Month, Gaming Groups and more!

So, other than that, there isn't much to say this time around but hopefully the next time we have to do this, there is much more to look forward to.
We again are thankful to have you, and hope that you come and have some fun with us sometime soon.

- Yours truly,
The Australian & New Zealand Anime Club.

The Slice of Life Club now has Candy Cane Grams! What's a Candy Cane Gram you ask? A Candy Cane Gram is a Christmas card that you
can request to have sent to your friends on MAL along with a message. It's the season of giving, so why not send your friends a card?
Click here to visit the Candy Cane Gram request thread!

This is just a reminder to everyone who is participating in the Secret Santa Event to please have your gifts sent to toridoshi by the 23rd!
Also, please stop by our chat thread to meet new friends!

The Slice of Life Club has a new layout! To help our members get into the Christmas spirit, we've put a little something festive up. We hope that all of our members have a happy and safe holiday season!

Male Character Competetion Update News

The Slice of Life Club will be hosting a couple events to celebrate the Christmas season with! We will be doing our third annual Secret Santa event and a Christmas themed MAL Scavenger Hint! More information on the events and links to their threads can be found under the spoiler tag:

[u]Secret Santa Information:[/u]
It is time for our third annual Secret Santa event! Every year for Christmas we have our members signup to exchange presents with each other. Every person who signs up will be private messaged a name of another participating member to make a gift for. You will be assigned someone at random, so I'm afraid you can't pick who you get to play Santa for. The point of this event is to try to have members meet new friends and to spread the Christmas spirit!

Are you not confident with your graphic designing or writing skills? Do not worry! There are plenty of gifts you can make for your target that do not involve those things; any gift that you put some amount of effort into is an acceptable gift. Examples of some gift ideas are the following:
- Graphic design gift (banner, profile picture, signature, badge, layout, etc)
- A fanfiction
- A poem
- A list of anime recommendations for that specific person (your target) and why you would recommend them each show.
- A drawing
- A video
- A song performed by you
- A folder full of high quality fanart of the target's favorite character
etc...

There are plenty of things you can do if you put your mind to it.

[u]Scavenger Hunt Information[/u]
The Slice of Life Club will be hosting a scavenger hunt to celebrate Christmas! Staff members will hide different colored Christmas tree ornaments all around MAL throughout December. You will have to search through profile pages, blogs, old posts in MAL forums, old clubs, etc to find the ornaments. Does that sound too hard? Do not worry! We understand that it would be impossible without hints, so we plan to give out many hints about the locations each day. I will be splitting participants up into groups of three (meaning you'll have a couple of teammates to help you search). At the end of the event, the top three teams will get a winners banner to display on their profiles/blogs.
Click here to signup!

We will also have some Christmas themed card editions, and special Christmas cards that you can request to have sent to your friends.
We hope you'll join in on our festivities and spend Christmas with us!
