Archive Page 1 ANCEA Meeting with nominations being taken Hello all, On May 8th 2004, ANCEA will hold it's next general meeting from 10:00 am-to 12:00 PM. at the Grace Moore Library in Tacoma. This is a very significant meeting because, it's for nominations for the next ANCEA President and Treasurer. As many of you know, I will be stepping down after four years as President. This is something I feel needs to be done to encourage growth in the organization. Plus, I need a rest after six years at the top (President plus Con Chair plus Op's Director, Hotel Liasion etc). It has been my singular pleasure to serve you all and help this organization grow to what it's become. I remember back in 98 when myself and those that founded it kept at it because 'we could' and wanted it to work. Through the years many of you came onboard and are still here making this what it is today. I have to say, I have never worked with a finer group of people in any organization I have ever been with. And, I have founded one other and served on the Boards of many. ANCEA and Sakura Con have a bright future. Because of everyone's dedication we are #1 in the Northwest in terms of attendance, and I feel quality. I also wish to thank the staff of Anime Evolution and Kumori-Con that also were there this past weekend. I want to see them succeed even more, just as SC has. I offer my help as an advisor to them if desired. You're all wonderful people. I've enjoyed serving you. See you at the ANCEA nomination meeting. Thank you.

Jason for his efforts was given a free ANCEA membership, a free Sakura Con 2002 membership, and a t-shirt. This time around, we're sweetening the pot. The winning logo or mascot designer will receive the following: (1. Free membership to ANCEA for one year (2. Free membership to Sakura Con 2005 (3.

Deadline for entries: May 8, 2004 ANCEA Meeting. This is a golden opportunity for any of you to have your work seen by thousands depending on the future, as well as be recognized by many influential people. Remember, we are looking for a new logo AND a new mascot so, there are TWO chances to win for two lucky artists. Designs must indicate a northwest feel to something that is also uniquely Asian.
