Actually, it was 8 Grandmothers plus 1 Grandfather! (Grandmother Connie's spouse, Greg, sat in her stead as
she was unable to attend the event she so lovingly organized)
The 8 Grandmothers & 1 Grandfather made 110 valentines to be brought to Alpine Way seniors
Valentines made with lots of love, laughs, & good cheer!
The donation table overflowed with an abundance of shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, etc.. etc. ETC.

Happy Valentines Day from Grandmothers Aligned Against Pollution!MAY ALL HEARTS BE HAPPY & PEACEFUL!
Women's wisdom, generosity, and attention focused on issues facing our community can be, and are, a potent force. And, you don't have to be a grandmother to be involved... or even female!
Message from Grandmother Connie Simpson:
What a joy it is to find the heart and soul of our community in the amazing women who have gotten together twice recently to support one another in efforts to guide our community in safe and peaceful ways!

Our next meeting (Saturday, March 12, 1 pm at The Enchanted Garden), will focus on connections. We will each crochet a part of a many-colored chain to represent our various walks in life. We will then tie these together with symbols of our positive wishes for Mother Earth in the manner of a prayer flag.
No experience is needed, yarn will be provided, and please bring a crochet hook if you have one! Join in, or just come to enjoy the tea and company! This time we will be donating cans and boxes of food to St. David's Kitchen.
