December Meeting Notes

Our December meeting was this past Sunday, and here is a recap of what we discussed:

Holiday Mail for Heroes - This is a campaign sponsored by the Red Cross, which distributes holiday cards to military people and veterans. It is a great program, and we are happy to be participating for a second year. We did our cards at the meeting on Sunday.

Deathly Hallows Campaign - The HPA's Deathly Hallows Campaign is a campaign of epic proportions in which we will be fighting seven real world Horcruxes. The first two, the Starvation Wages Horcrux and the Dementor Horcrux, are running through the end of December.
Starvation Wages Horcrux - This Horcrux is about Fair Trade, specifically trying to get Harry Potter chocolate made Fair Trade. For all of the details on this Horcrux, please visit this website, http://dft.ba/-fairtrade. While you're there, please sign the online petition. It only takes a few seconds! HPA chapters and members are also encouraged to write letters to Warner Bros and Time Warner, urging them to switch to Fair Trade chocolate for their Harry Potter chocolate. We wrote letters at the meeting on Sunday. If you are interested in writing a letter on your own, you can find a template at the website listed above.
Dementor Horcrux - This Horcrux is about mental health whether it be something more serious such as clinical depression or just feeling down or stressed. The website for this is http://dft.ba/-expectopatronum. HPA chapters and members are encouraged to create a Patronus in the form of artwork to help fight their own personal Dementors.

TerraCycle - This is an ongoing project. We are collecting candy wrappers for TerraCycle. They, in turn, will make a donation to the HPA for any wrappers that we send them.

Chapter Christmas Party - Our Chapter Christmas party will be on Wednesday December 15th. We will be making Christmas cards for the residents of Fair Acres nursing home.

Next Meeting - Our next meeting will be Satuday January 8th.
