Vancouver Raging Grannies

We are the Vancouver branch of a worldwide group of older women trying to make the world a better place to leave to our grandchildren, through action and satirical song. If you wish to join us in Vancouver, please contact Robyn at: dandrsmith@shaw.ca

August Update

This was a slow summer for the Vancouver Grannies. We trekked down to Peace Arch Park on Sunday July 3 to join with the Bellingham Grannies and the Seattle Grannies in support of the Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba.

Then, after a month off, we sang at a stopwar.ca meeting August 11 at the Vancouver Public Library. The subject of this evening was Depleted Uranium and Robyn wrote a truly inspired song on this topic.

Later in the month, we were once again filmed for a Vancouver Film School Project. We all look fantastic in video and are looking forward to seeing the finished product next month.

But it was good to have this time off as it looks like in September we will be turning down gigs because so many things are happening on the same days. Will report on these as they happen.

Some of us are looking forward to attending the Western Regional Gathering in Washington State in mid-September. We will meet with Raging Grannies from all over the Pacific Northwest and it looks to be a great weekend.
