January Meeting Notes

Our January meeting was this past Sunday. Here is a recap:

Magical Acts of Gratitude - This project is similar to Magical Acts of Kindness, which we did a few months ago. As the name implies, the theme of this project is gratitude. At our meeting, some of us made cards, and some wrote letters, thanking those people who deserve a little bit of gratitude.

Valentine's - Continuing our theme of doing easy, low-maintenance projects during our meetings, we will be doing a Valentine's project at our next meeting. We will be doing cards.

Relay for Life - We would really like to participate in Relay for Life. There are several Relays in the area in the spring. Once we figure which one works for the most people, we will get set up for that.

Accio Books - Accio Books is the Harry Potter Alliance's annual book drive. It takes place from March 1 - March 31. Of course, we will be collecting books for this. However, it would be really fun to hold an event in conjunction with this. There are several different ideas for this, depending on how things go. Hopefully, we will have a decision on this in the next few weeks.

Next Meeting - Our next meeting is Sunday February 7th.

New members are always welcome! If you are interested in getting involved with Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org. For more information on the Harry Potter Alliance in general, please visit www.thehpalliance.org.
