Our June meeting was this morning, and here is the summary:
Deathly Hallows Campaign - The seventh Horcrux will be launched tomorrow at 4pm at http://www.livestream.com/imaginebetter. It will be the Climate Crisis Horcrux, which as you've probably guessed from the name, has to do with the environment. We will know more about this Horcrux, including what the "ask" is, after tomorrow's livestream.
Knitting Projects - These are still going strong! We are knitting snuggles for the Snuggles Project (http://www.snugglesproject.org) as well as afghan squares for Warm Up America (http://www.warmupamerica.org).
Operation Write Home - Since we didn't have a whole lot to discuss this month, we wrote some Hero Mail for Operation Write Home (http://www.operationwritehome.org).
Movie Nights - These have been working out well so far, and we are going to continue them up until the final film. We will be watching Prisoner of Azkaban tomorrow. We'll also do a few more cards for Operation Write Home tomorrow; then we'll have a nice stack to mail out.
Next Meeting - Our July meeting will be Saturday July 23rd.
Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County is a community chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance. New members are always welcome! To learn more or to get involved, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org.

May Meeting Notes
Our May meeting was yesterday, and here is a summary of what was discussed:
Child Slavery Horcrux - The HPA launched the sixth Horcrux of the Deathly Hallows Campaign on May 1st. It is the Child Slavery Horcrux, and it is closely related to the first Horcrux we worked with, the Starvation Wages Horcrux (fair trade/chocolate). At the livestream that launched the Horcrux on the 1st, we watched "The Dark Side of Chocolate," which is a documentary about child trafficking in the chocolate industry. Something that HPA members are encouraged to do for this Horcrux is write CNN Freedom Project iReports.
Toemageddon - This is a project organized by the HPA that has to do with LGBT bullying. Basically, it became a big media story in the more conservative media outlets when a 5-year-old boy was photographed with his toes painted pink. His mother was accused of turning him gay by letting him wear this nail polish. With Toemageddon, we are compiling a petition against the LGBT bullying that happens in the media. However, instead of signing our names, we are painting our toes. To join in, go here - http://www.facebook.com/toemageddon
Knitting Projects - We are still working on our chapter knitting projects. We are knitting snuggles for the Snuggles Project (www.snugglesproject.org) and afghan squares for Warm Up America (www.warmupamerica.org).
June Meeting - Our June meeting will be Saturday June 11th.
