Making DC Anime Club Better:
What can we the Officers of DC Anime Club do in order to make your experience
with DC Anime Club more enjoyable?

Keep the ideas coming people.

Also we the Officers of DC Anime Club request that no one get's upset or angry
if their idea get's shot down. Just dust yourself off and try again. We the
Officers of DC Anime Club have to think what the club as a Whole wants and not
just what one individual wants.

Overall without you the club members we don't have a club. In fact DC Anime Club
is more than "just a club".
