We will not meet then either... Wow, well I guess we shall see you all in November! 'Till then, email me about stuff. We do need to get the fundraiser along, so if you are interested, please contact me. Happy rest of October, everyone :) ~Tiffy

October 17 meeting

Ciao everyone! First, Happy Birthday, Professor Flitwick! :) So, today's meeting was great. You all are awesome! We actually did not get to any club affairs. However, we played Harry Potter trivia. Thanks to Mrs. Granger for bringing in the board game! It was all so wonderful. Also, the diversity of people there was fantastic! Well 'till later, darlings. ~Tiffy

Post #2! (with no incentive this time!)

Hello again! Have you guys experienced the magic (no pun intended) of Wrock yet? If you do not already know, Wrock, or wizard rock, as defined by the always dependable Wikipedia "is a musical movement dating from 2002 that consists of at least 500 bands made up of young musicians playing songs about Harry Potter." If you want to hear some Wrock bands just go to wizrocklopedia.com and you can find everyone from Draco and the Malfoys to Romilda Vain and her Chocolate Cauldrons. There is an entire Wrock world out there thats waiting for you!

By the way, the reason I was posting this in the first place is that there just so happens to be a Wrock Concert on November 12 somewhere in the vicinity of San Fransisco. (When i get the specifics I will let you guys know.) Now it is a Wednesday night so perfectly understandable if you can't come, but it would be really great if we could get some wizards and witches together and car pool down there. The Whomping Willows (who are GREAT) AND Justin Flinch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills (whom I'm sure are great) are playing and it will be a great time. It doesn't cost money but they do ask for a donation which is always a nice gesture. There's food too and if you have not experienced a Wrock Concert yet, than you should really try to come! I guarantee you will not be disappointed! And remember, in the wise words of Harry and The Potters "Voldemort can't stop the rock!"

Love your secretary/propagandist/fellow Wrock fan, Rosella :)

October 10 Meeting

Ciao everyone. So today's meeting, though small, was wonderful because of the devout Harry Potter lovers who were there. We love you guys! Bake sale has been decided for early November. We may also have tee-shirts. Who: us all. What: sale for fundraising, so we need baked goods and signs. Where: probably Putnam Plaza. When: Saturday afternoon. Why: now that should be obvious :) The rest of the meeting was discussion, mostly about the seventh book, quidditch, the movies, and Tale of Beedle the Bard. (Side note: I cannot believe the newspaper has to get pictures of all the club presidents! I did NOT sign up for that! *simmering outrage* Don't mind me...) So this has been rather iffy, the status of our members. I am sure we shall have it figured out by second semester. Now we are just trying to get our club off the ground in a school that is not big on club participation. So bring your friends! (as long as they have read the HP books) Also, all you often attendees of our meeting, you shall be invited to our invite-only Slug Club Christmas party at Lesley's house! We may finally have all our members at the same place at the same time! - instead of various members at random meetings, diminishing the size of each meeting. So, that is all for now. Have a good weekend, everyone! ~Tiffy

Moving On

Greetings. So the meeting this Friday was going to be mostly about float construction planning. Not anymore obviously. So, to keep you all updated, our meeting on the Eighth will be a. planning fundraising and b. plain discussion about the the wondrous phenomenon of Harry Potter and all that encompasses :) ~Tiffy

Homecoming Death

Well, all club activities related to Homecoming have pretty much been obliterated. (Unless you guys step up and still want to do a float.) We do NOT get a homecoming queen nominee. There goes the amazing video. Another crushing blow we received today is delayed funding. Delayed till next week. So my fellow officers and I have met, we do not see a practical way to make the float work out. If you think otherwise, we might be able to still work it out. If not, the next thing to throw our efforts into in fundraising. *sigh* All this planning and preparation to waste. We have a truckload of cardboard. Jeez. Well, time to move on. We might still build a little Hogwarts out of some of the cardboard... ~Tiffy

October 3 meeting

Hello hello, everyone. We had our second meeting of DA yesterday, which was just some discussion about club activities and also included introductions all around. Thanks to everyone that came! You guys are awesome. Now where did the rest of you go? The small numbers from yesterday's meeting confuses me on how well we are getting this club off the ground... However, we are obviously doing well since I convinced the club commissioner that we deserve to have a homecoming nominee (even though the rules state that a club has to have been running for two consecutive years or semesters - depending on who you ask as to the answer to whether it is two years or two semesters - before you may choose a homecoming nominee). Also, for those who did not attend the meeting, we have nominated Annika L. for our homecoming queen nominee. We hope to make an amazing video for the rally! Speaking of making amazing things, we decided yesterday to make a homecoming float for the parade. A Harry Potter float, just imagine how amazing it will look! So a couple people have talked to me about plans for the design. If you have ideas, email me. Also, if you have supplies (cardboard, something with which to cut the cardboard, paint, paintbrushes, wire, etc) for making a float, that would be VERY helpful! Our crash course weekend for float building will probably be October 10-12 (Friday after school and a few hours of Saturday and Sunday) in Lesley's yard at 25 Brown Ct (it's really close to downtown), so drop by whenever to help out! It'll be fun, a bunch of us DA kids hanging out to the sound of Harry Potter music (soundtracks to the movies and wizard wrock) and building an amazing float! Bring a friend along too! We could use plenty of wizard and witch power, also along with supplies you may have like paintbrushes, sharpies, and cardboard cutters. This is quite an undertaking for our new club so email me questions, comments, suggestions, etc :) ~Tiffy

Professor McGonagall Day

Happy birthday, Professor Minerva McGonagall! Today is her birthday! ~Tiffy

Making an emblem takes a little longer than I anticipated. Darn standards...

(Note: I am so sorry everyone. George sent this to me Thursday night, but I did not get it on time. So this post is a little belated. ~Tiffy)
Hey everyone, it's George , the undersecretary! Sorry, I can't make the meeting on October 3rd, but I've been working hard on our emblem! (Click to see current verson) Finding time to work on it was miraculous, my teachers randomly decided no homework, all of them at the same time. So I started working on the shading of the metallic bits, and the structure of the mascots. The house animals are going to be worked hard on, cause I can't draw animals crappy and get away with it. Rest assured they will end up looking okay. But yea the Emblem is well on its way to completion. Learning Photoshop all over again too, its pretty fun. (Everytime I use it I forget EVERYTHING USEFUL.) Well, see all you guys eventually, DA soldiers, wizards, witches, warlocks, warlettes, and whatnot. Talk to me in the halls too, I'm not afraid to guffah about Harry Potter with all my chums. Show them muggles who's boss, dah. George P. ~ The SENIOR undersecretary of the Oh So Esteemed and Publicized, Majestic, Most High, Dumbledore's Army! P.S. Everyone yell thank you at Tiffany at the meeting. She's a good president. Or maybe wizard chant her. =P
