Our April meeting was this morning, and here is a summary of what we discussed:

  • Accio Books - Accio Books, the HPA's annual book drive, has been extended through the end of April this year. If you have books that you would like to donate but aren't sure where to send them, pop me an e-mail (danielleg@thehpalliance.org), and I can help you find a good home for them!

  • Operation Write Home - This is what we spent the majority of today's meeting working on. We made cards/wrote letters for Operation Write Home (www.operationwritehome.org). This is a project we did in the past, and we decided now was a good time to bring it back!

February Meeting Notes

Our February meeting was this morning, and here is a summary of what we discussed:


Valentines - At this morning's meeting, we made Valentines for Nestle and Hershey, urging them to switch to Fair Trade chocolate. This project is not organized by the HPA; it is organized by a group called Stop The Traffik. However, the whole Fair Trade chocolate issues ties right in with what we were doing in the Starvation Wages Horcrux a few months ago. If you would like to participate in this project on your own, you can check out the website here, http://stopthetraffik-news.org/D57-CQ8P-623B9PUAD/cr.aspx?b=32.

DHC - The Bullying Horcrux - The fourth Horcrux of the Deathly Hallows Campaign is the Bullying Horcrux. While many people are bullied for different reasons, the HPA is focusing on the LGBTQ community for this Horcrux. This Horcrux is also a House Cup. Here are the different tasks you can do to earn points for your House:

Wrock 4 Equality 2 is a campaign for marriage equality in Rhode Island. (The 2 is because the HPA had a campaign called Wrock 4 Equality in 2009 where we campaigned for marriage equality in Maine.) This will be taking place on February 26th and will be completely online. For more info on this and on everything related to the Bullying Horcrux, please visit http://bit.ly/horcrux4.

Accio Books - Accio Books, our annual book drive which takes place in March, is almost here! Things are still in the planning stages, nothing definite yet, but we hope to have something together soon!

Borders Benefit Days - The HPA is teaming up with Borders on March 19 and 20. When shoppers present a pass, a portion of the money that they are spending will go to benefit the Harry Potter Alliance.

Next Meeting - Our next meeting will be Sunday March 6th.
