Early on in the semester, Guerrera, has already dealt with having to cancel two club meetings. As a result of paperwork mix-up between the clubs officers and the University’s Student Life and Development staff.
“It was a fiasco,” says Guerrera, who was forced to cancel the meetings at the very last minute.
Every year members of each club organization have to submit important paperwork to the SLD office. The documents include information on when and where the club would like to meet. If this is not done correctly and on time they run the risk of having the room taken by another club or just simply not booked at all.
There were also some major miscommunication problems between Guerrera and some of the club officers. Specifically with those who were in charge of making sure all paperwork had been completed and submitted on time.
He added, “It’s a learning experience, I even thought about writing a book in the future, on what officers should or should not do. I never want it to happen again!”
Fortunately the club was able to submit the needed documents to be able to meet in one other room and the club meetings have continued as usual. But it is enough for Guerrera to revise the way that club officers communicate with one another.

The Anime Club is available to all students who enjoy Japanese Animation and are interested in finding a social network with those who also have this in common or are simply just curious.
Guerrera has been a part of the club since his freshman year in 2008. First as an attendee and later after becoming very familiar with the clubs' officers, was elected the club’s president for the fall of 2010.
“If someone enjoys Japanese animation or even just the video game subculture this is the place to be!”-Alex Guerrera, President of Club Anime at CSULB.
