The end of the year

Hi everyone

Just wanted to let you know after the joyous frenzy of Gettazine, club business is going to be at a standstill for a little while. Feel free to contact me any time regarding your personal zine projects, or the zine library. We have been working on cataloging all the zines in the zine library. We will be doing this intermittently for the rest of the year. If you have a laptop and are interested in helping with this project, please le me know and i will let you know when we will be there next. For everyone else, please go and check out the zine library sometime soon (In the room with all the plants int he library). We have redone all the signage and are very proud of it. There is also a guestbook now! So check that out too!

We will have at least one more metting in a few weeks. I have had to get another job because just liek everyone else I am super poor. So my time is really really limited for the rest of the year, but we'll figure somehting out.

Good luck with the tail end of the semester, friends! Make a tiny zine if you g et a chance!

Take care!
