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.
