Barb Taylor, one of our Raging Grannies, passed away on September 5, 2019. We miss her terribly. Here is a note from her, as well as the program from the celebration of her life.
A message from Barb:
For many of us who had been earnestly writing letters and briefs over the years, The Raging Grannies came as a chance to sing our truth to power and people with humour and zest. Our motley outfits of hats and shawls and aprons had a liberating effect, much like a clown or fool’s costume, allowing us to be a little outrageous. We like to think the laughter allowed us to plant seeds of thought on matters related to peace, social justice and the environment. Sometimes there was concern that we were “preaching to the converted,” but I maintained that even the converted need bolstering, too.
Thanks especially to Robyn for her good leadership from the beginning in Vancouver and to Bar Seifred for her hundreds, now thousands of timely songs across Canada over the years, and to our other good members who contributed so much.
Come and join our fun group of grannies! For more information, please contact Florence at 604-253-6331, florenceflynn@hotmail.com
