At our meeting this past Sunday, we discussed two of the Harry Potter Alliance's campaigns: Campaign Nine and Three Quarters and Magical Acts of Kindness.
The Nine and Three Quarters campaign is about fundraising for the Harry Potter Alliance to keep the organization going. To participate in this campaign, Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County will be holding a change drive. We will be saving our loose change and tallying it up in December.
Magical Acts of Kindness is about anonymously doing kind things for others in an effort to make our world more magical. Magical Acts of Kindness Week is October 1-7. We are all going to be doing small things as individuals during that week. Then we will be doing a group MAK project in late October / November. We are going to be collecting various items for refugees. We also had a few other ideas, but those still need to be finalized.
New members are always welcome! If you are interested in meeting some of our members and learning about our chapter of the HPA, you have two chances to do so in the upcoming weeks:
October 17th - We are participating in a craft fair at Marple Christian Church, which is located at 475 Lawrence Road, Broomall, PA 19008. We have been making crafts to sell at this fair, and we will be donating our proceeds to Standfast. The craft fair is from 9am - 4pm.
November meeting - Our November meeting will be on the evening of Sunday November 1st. For details, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org.

Upcoming Projects
We had a really good meeting the other day, and we have several projects coming up! Here is a little bit about each one:
Collecting towels and blankets for the SPCA. We are digging the old towels and blankets out of our closets and donating them to the SPCA. Hagrid would be appreciate our helping animals.
Johnny's Run for Life. This is a run to benefit Baby's Breath, a crisis pregnancy center in Bryn Mawr. It is being held in honor of Johnny Williamson, a Drexel University student who passed away last winter. The run is at Wilson Farm Park, 500 Lee Road, Wayne, PA 19087. It is on Sunday October 4th. There is a 1 mile fun run/walk at 9am and a 5K run at 9:30am. The registration fee is $20 in advance/ $25 day of the race and $10 for students. Some of us will be running or walking in this event. If you would like to participate, please contact Marybeth Toscani, Race Director, at Marybeth99@comcast.net or call 610-724-3031.
Craft fair. We are making various crafts to be sold on Saturday October 17th. The craft fair is sponsored by Marple Christian Church, 475 Lawrence Road, Broomall, PA 19008. It is from 9am to 4pm. We are donating our proceeds to Standfast to aid those affected by genocide.
Campaign Nine and Three Quarters. Last week, the Harry Potter Alliance launched a fundraising campaign called campaign nine and three quarters. We would like to do what we can to help with this campaign. The details need to be ironed out, but we may be doing something Halloween-themed for this.
Nanowrimo. Some of us will be expressing our creativity and breaking out of the Muggle Mindset by participating in Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). Nanowrimo takes place in November and gives participants the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. For more information on Nanowrimo, please visit www.nanowrimo.org.
We would also like to hold a sock drive, as well as a book drive, in the future. We hope to have a Christmas-themed project in a few months.
Our next meeting will be on the evening of Sunday September 20th. If you are interested in attending, please e-mail danielletgillen@hotmail.com for the details. New members are always welcome!

Meeting Reminder and Craft Fair Update
Our next meeting is Sunday evening, August 23rd. If you are interested in attending, please e-mail danielletgillen@hotmail.com. We will be doing some brainstorming and planning for the upcoming school year. Hope to see you there!
We have some more details on the craft fair that we have been working on. We have rented a space at Marple Christian Church's craft fair, which is going to be held on Saturday, October 17th. Marple Christian Church is located at 475 Lawrence Road in Broomall, and the fair is from 9am - 4pm. Our chapter members have been hard at work on various projects, including scarves, bookscarves, wreaths, and pillows. If you are in the area, please come support our chapter! We are doing this as a fundraiser. While we have not decided 100% on a charity, it will most likely be something related to genocide prevention / intervention. Harry and his crew didn't tolerate genocide by Voldemort, and we are following Harry's example and fighting genocide in our own world! To learn about the other wonderful crafters that will be at the fair, you can visit the craft fair's website: www.marplechristianchurch.org/craftfair.
Again, we would love to see you at our next meeting or at the craft fair! If you are interested in getting involved with Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County, please e-mail danielletgillen@hotmail.com.
