If you have news to report during the “Good of the Order” portion of the meeting, you can email goto@kumoricon.org OR open.mic@kumoricon.org OR good.of.the.order@kumoricon.org. You can email Good of the Order at any time during the year, and your email will be reviewed during the next regular meeting.

“Good of the Order” is a great place to share new anime you’ve been watching, bring up exciting activities you recommend people try, ask questions, or share news you think would be relevant to the staff and attendees of Kumoricon.
