We are going to be participating in an event that ties into Care of Magical Creatures. We will be participating in the Lovers Not Fighters Charity Race on April 25th. This race is being held at Ridley Creek State Park, and it will benefit the PSPCA's Etana Fund to Stop Cruelty Against Animals. There will be a 7k run and a 5k run, as well as a 3k walk. We will be paripicating in the 3k walk, most likely with my dog. If you would like more information about the race, please visit loversnotfighterscharityrace.com for all of the details. I think Hagrid would be proud. :)
The results of Accio Books are in. A total of 13,481 books were donated, which is amazing. Congratulations to Ravenclaw on winning the House Cup! (My own Gryffindor came in a close second.) Congratulations to the Lumos Chapter of Madison, Wisconsin on winning the Chapter Cup! Most importantly, 13,481 books are going to those in need, and that's pretty awesome.

Accio Books Upddate and More
Accio Books, the Harry Potter Alliance's first annual book drive, wrapped up last week, and it was a huge success. While the winners have not been announced yet, everyone in the chapters and in the HPA in general did an awesome job collecting and donating books. Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County donated books locally, as well as to ASYV in Rwanda.
Our MAK knitting projects are still going strong. While this started out as a Lenten project, it looks like it is going to go well past Easter. We want to be able to give some nice big donations, and we are certainly not the fastest knitters. ;)

Accio Books!...and other cool stuff
We are in the midst of Accio Books, which kicked off yesterday. Accio Books is the Harry Potter Alliance's first book drive. As fans of Harry Potter and reading in general, literacy is something we care about very much. We will be collecting books and donating them locally.
Our clothing drive is wrapping up. We donated gently used clothing to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. By donating this clothing, we are doing a magical act of kindness by giving to those who need it. We are also decreasing some of our own clutter, which is a good and positive thing.
Lent started last Wednesday, so I have started my Lenten knitting project. I am knitting hats to donate to Warm Woolies (warmwoolies.org). I've been told that other members of the chapter are knitting afghan squares for Warm Up America (warmupamerica.org), but I've not seen any evidence of this...yet.

1-800-GENOCIDE
Please call 1-800-GENOCIDE today.
Today members of STAND and the Harry Potter Alliance are calling their state representatives to let them know that we care about Darfur. The members of Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County have all made this phone call today, and we ask that anyone else reading this blog please do so as well. It only takes a few minutes of your time and is totally worth it. If you would like to read more about the Harry Potter Alliance and waking up the world to Darfur, please visit thehpalliance.org.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County has done some awesome projects over the past few months. We raised money for StandFast. We also participated in several community projects. Our favorite was sponsoring a little girl for Christmas through the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program.
Due to lack of interest, it does not look like we will be holding a public interest meeting. However, if you would like to get involved with our chapter, please email danielletgillen@hotmail.com. If you would like more information on the Harry Potter Alliance in general, please visit thehpalliance.org.
