Unconventional Grannies at an UNconvention: Beginning Activities

by Granny Ruth
80 is a magic number! 80 women gathered from 19 "gaggles" of Raging Grannies, and many were over the age of 80. They gathered from many parts of the U.S and Canada. Raging Grannies from Israel sent a message of congratulations

First full day of the Unconvention was held today, Jan 16.

The Southern Florida Grannies, our hosts, led "A Big Wind Blows" introduction activity. Granny Motoko of Detroit Raging Grannies led the memorial service for Grannies who have passed on since our last Unconvention.
