January Meeting Notes

At our meeting yesterday, we discussed projects that we would like to do in the next few months.  Here is what we have lined up:

Sweets For Seniors - Next month we will be giving some Valentine's treats to the residents of Fair Acres Nursing Home.

Knit Your Bit - This is a project put together by the National WWII Museum that makes scarves for veterans.  Here is their website for all of the details:  http://www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/knit-your-bit/  Our chapter will be working on this for several months so that we can get a nice collection of scarves to send.

Accio Books - We will be participating in the HPA's annual book drive, Accio Books, in April and May.  We will be collecting books for both kids and adults.

Dumbledore's Army of Delaware County is a community chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance.  New members are always welcome!  For info, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org.  To learn more about the HPA in general, please visit http://www.thehpalliance.org.

January Meeting Reminder

Happy Holidays!

Our first meeting of 2015 is coming up this Saturday, January 3.  We will be brainstorming and planning for upcoming projects.

New members are always welcome!  Please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org to get involved.

Food Drive

Our chapter collected food for the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  DIFAN is a network of churches throughout Delco that also serve as food banks for those in need.

This project was inspired by the HPA's Odds In Our Favor campaign.  Things like food and hunger don't just exist in books and movies.  They are very real issues that effect people in our own community.  Our food drive was just a small thing, but we hope it can help those battling food insecurity in our area.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the food drive!

December Meeting Reminder

Our last meeting of 2014 is coming up this Saturday, December 6.  This is also the deadline for our food drive benefitting the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  If you have food to donate, please bring it to the meeting or drop it off at one of the participating churches.  Hope to see you on Saturday!

November Meeting Notes

Our food drive is now underway!  We are hosting a food drive as part of the HPA's Odds In Our Favor campaign, and the food that we collect will be donated to the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  This food drive will run until our December meeting on Dec. 6.  If you would like to participate, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org for more info!

November Meeting Reminder

Our November meeting is coming up this Saturday, November 8.  We will be launching our food drive.  Hope to see you there!

At the meeting this morning, we made Halloween cards for hospitalized kids.  We had a lot of fun making the cards, and I hope they make the kids smile.  :)
