July Meeting Notes

Here are the notes from Saturday's meeting:

The global HPA has a couple of campaigns at the moment.
Fan Works Are Fair Use - Do you support fan fiction, fandom music, and other forms of fan art?  Do you think fan art is a positive part of fandom?  Then click that link and fill out the short form to receive updates on this campaign.
Road to Hogwarts - Road to Hogwarts is a charity walk/run that you can do from anywhere.  It is a 52-mile virtual race from Aberdeen to Dufftown, Scotland (where we estimate Hogwarts to be).  Participants can run, walk, cycle, or wheel and have from July 1 to October 1 to complete the challenge.  Even if you don't normally exercise, going for a walk a couple times a week can get you to 52 miles by October 1, so I strongly encourage everyone to participate!  The cost is $35, and there is a medal.

July Project - At the meeting, keeping with a Fourth of July/patriotic theme, we wrote letters to soldiers as part of Operation Write Home.  We have written letters for Operation Write Home several times over the years, but this is the last time.  OWH is ending on August 1 due to a decreased number of military personnel serving overseas.  This is a positive thing!

Ongoing - We are knitting/crocheting scarves for veterans.

Next Meeting - Our next meeting will be Saturday August 8.
