November Meeting Notes

Our November meeting was this past Saturday. Here is what we discussed:

Operation Write Home - We have been making cards for soldiers as part of Operation Write Home (www.operationwritehome.org). We are wrapping this up for now, but we will hopefully come back to it in the future. Thank you to everyone who made cards with us!

TerraCycle - We are still collecting Mars and Cadbury candy wrappers for TerraCycle. We are recycling the wrappers by sending them to TerraCycle; then TerraCycle makes a donation to the Harry Potter Alliance.

Deathly Hallows Campaign - Have you signed the Starvation Wages petition? http://dft.ba/-fairtrade

Holiday Mail for Heroes - This is a campaign organized by the Red Cross. We participated in this last year, and we plan on joining in again this year!

Next Meeting - Our next meeting will be Sunday December 5th.

Deathly Hallows Campaign

On October 31, 2010, the Harry Potter Alliance kicked off a campaign of epic proportions, the Deathly Hallows Campaign. During this campaign, we will be fighting seven real-world Horcruxes. The first is the Starvation Wages Horcrux. Unfortunately, the cocoa industry is full of inhumane and unjust economic and labor conditions. We are petitioning Time Warner (the parent company of Warner Bros.) to switch to Fair Trade chocolate to ensure that no chocolate in Harry's name is made under such unjust conditions. To sign the petition, please go here, http://dft.ba/-fairtrade, and please encourage your family and friends to do the same.
