first meeting + :)

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to a new year at Sheridan, and a new, even more radical year with the Sheridan Self Publishers.

We are going to be doing a LOT this year. Group zines, individual zines, field trips, guest speakers, zine fairs and MORE! I am very very excited and I hope you are too.

I will tell you all about this upcoming year at our first meeting.

The first meeting will be very informal, I am going to let you know what to expect over the semester, and then we are going to pour over all the many many donations we got for the zine library over the summe r(200-300, i think).

This will give you a good introduction to what zines are, and hopefully get you all fired up for the year ahead.

THE FIRST MEETING WILL BE MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2008 at 4:00 pm in room A137.

see you there!

If you have any questions, email back or call me at 905-510-1963.

Take care!

Jen
