July Meeting Notes

Our July meeting was yesterday, and here is a summary of what we talked about:

HPAFTW - The HPA won!! The HPA won $250,000 in the Chase Community Giving Challenge. Thank you to everyone who voted!

TerraCycle - We are collecting candy wrappers for TerraCycle. This gives us an opportunity to recycle something that would not normally be recycled as well as fundraise for the HPA. We hope to be making a shipment of candy wrappers to TerraCycle after our next meeting.

Magical Acts of Warmth - We are knitting "snuggles" for shelter animals (http://www.snugglesproject.org) and afghan squares (http://www.warmupamerica.org). We are planning to continue this until September.

Craft Fair - We are participating in a craft fair in October, and we are crafting away for this! Some of the things we are making include scarves, pillows, decorations, and picture frames. We will be donating our proceeds to the HPA and Firefly (http://www.fireflykidz.org/).

Wrock The Vote - To register to vote online, please go here, www.thehpalliance.org/wrockthevote. We hope to have our chapter members registering voters in person and will post the details (when & where) here as soon as we have those nailed down.
