Dear Readers,

G.E.M.'s Campaign to celebrate National Grandparents Day

This year, the kinship community is making a special effort to recognize Grandparents Day.  Led by Doris Williams, a member of (G.E.M) Grandparents' Empowerment Movement, started a campaign Sunday July 25, 2010 at "A GREAT DAY IN HARLEM" at Grants Tomb to promote this special day.  

Up until now, Grandparents Day has received little attention from state and national leaders.  G.E.M. wants to change that.  Doris said, "We can't let this continue, so join the campaign.  Spread the word.  Celebrate all our grandparents, who have nurtured us with love and shared their wisdom."  

Around New York State, kinship organizations and organizations serving both the young and the old, will host events on and around Grandparents' Day.    

You can view a list of events, email us at navigator@nysnavigator.org with new events that we will add to our site (please attach flyers if you would like them posted!) and learn more about this day on our special Grandparents Day page.  

 

Sincerely,  

Gerard Wallace, Esq.
NYS Kinship Navigator Director
