Huge Craft Project!

We are beginning work on a huge craft project. We will be making a variety of crafts and selling them at a craft fair. The proceeds will be donated to a charity. That's the basic idea. The details are still to be decided. We do not know the location/date of the craft fair yet, but it will most likely be in the late fall/holiday season. We have also not definitively decided on a charity yet. All of these details will be posted here when we find out/decide.

We are just about finished knitting our afghan squares and will be mailing them off shortly. We have been knitting afghan squares for Warm Up America, which gives afghans to those in need. (warmupamerica.org) Thank you again to those who donated materials for our knitting projects! It helped a lot, and we really appreciate it. :)

The campaign that the Harry Potter Alliance is currently focusing on is "What Would Dumbledore Do?" Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County would like to hold an event relating to WWDD and the movie release next month. This is still in the planning stages, and more details will be posted here later. If you are interested in attending, please e-mail me.

Updates on Some Completed Projects

This is just a quick update on some projects that we have wrapped up, as well as a progress report on our ongoing projects. It seems like ages ago now, but we did participate in the Lovers Not Fighters Charity Walk on April 25th. This walk was a lot of fun, and it benefitted the PSPCA's Etana Fund to fight cruelty against animals. Also, we have finished and shipped our hats. We knitted a total of 13 hats for Warm Woolies (warmwoolies.org).

We are still knitting. We are making afghan squares for Warm Up America (warmupamerica.org), and we will most likely ship them off later this summer. As far as other projects, we have several half-ideas, which we will be sharing when they become a bit more fully formed.

If you would like to get involved with Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County, please feel free to e-mail me at danielletgillen@hotmail.com. If you would like more information about the HPA in general, please visit thehpalliance.org.
