July Meeting Notes

Superman Is An Immigrant - The HPA/Imagine Better and Define American recently launched Superman Is An Immigrant (http://www.supermanisanimmigrant.com).  In this campaign, we are telling our American story.  While we think of Superman as an all-American hero, he is actually an immigrant, coming to Earth from another planet.  Like Superman, many of us can trace our roots to other places.  Please check out the website and consider submitting your own American story.  (We wrote our stories at the meeting, but this is definitely something you can participate in on your own if you missed it!)

Summer Crafty Projects - We will be continuing our crafty projects through the summer.  We are writing letters/coloring for Operation Write Home (http://www.operationwritehome.org).  We are also knitting/crocheting for the Snuggles Project (http://www.snugglesproject.org) and Warm Up America (www.warmupamerica.org).

February Meeting Notes

Our February meeting was this past Saturday, and here is the recap:

Valentines - We did Valentines for the residents of Fair Acres Nursing Home.  If you were not able to make it to the meeting, feel free to make Valentines (or any type of card) for someone you think needs it!

Not In Harry's Name - This is a campaign of the Harry Potter Alliance that has been going on for quite a while.  It is an effort to get chocolate frogs and other Harry Potter themed chocolate made fair trade.  A third-party report has given WB/the company they use for their chocolate an F in ethics.  WB says that this report is incorrect, that they have their own report stating that everything is fine.  When asked, WB refuses to show anyone this report.  Therefore, this version of the campaign is called "Show Us The Report."  The website is simply showusthereport.com.  Please sign that petition; it takes less than a minute.

Knit/Crochet - We are kicking off our chapter's knit/crochet projects again!  We are making snuggles for the Snuggles Project (http://www.thesnugglesproject.org) and afghan squares for Warm Up America (http://www.warmupamerica.org).

Next Meeting - Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 9.
