Deathly Hallows Campaign
On October 31, 2010, the Harry Potter Alliance kicked off a campaign of epic proportions, the Deathly Hallows Campaign. During this campaign, we will be fighting seven real-world Horcruxes. The first is the Starvation Wages Horcrux. Unfortunately, the cocoa industry is full of inhumane and unjust economic and labor conditions. We are petitioning Time Warner (the parent company of Warner Bros.) to switch to Fair Trade chocolate to ensure that no chocolate in Harry's name is made under such unjust conditions. To sign the petition, please go here, http://dft.ba/-fairtrade, and please encourage your family and friends to do the same.

Craft Fair and Halloween Party
On Saturday October 16th, we participated in the craft fair at Marple Christian Church. It went really well! Through our sales, we were able to make donations to both the HPA and the Firefly Foundation (www.fireflykidz.org). Thank you to everyone who supported us and, in turn, these two wonderful organizations!
Our chapter's Halloween party is coming up on Sunday October 24th. We will be putting together Halloween gifts for the residents of Fair Acres Nursing Home.

Craft Fair on 10/16/10
This year's craft fair is almost here! We will be participating in the craft fair at Marple Christian Church this Saturday, October 16th. Marple Christian Church is located at 475 Lawrence Road, Broomall, PA 19008. The craft fair is from 9am - 4pm. We will be selling pillows, scarves, picture frames, decorations, bracelets, and dog treats. (We've sure come up with an eclectic variety this year, huh?) The profits from our little table will be donated to the Harry Potter Alliance (www.thehpalliance.org) and Firefly (www.fireflykidz.org). Also, the Massey House (located next to the church) is having their Harvest Festival at the same time as the craft fair. There is going to be a lot to see and do, and admission is free. It should be a fun day, and we hope to see you there!
