Join me on Friday 22nd for Gray Panthers beginnings - FREE

I would like to extend an invitation to you my beloved readers to attend 'Maggie Growls' the documentary film portrait of how Maggie Kuhn started the Grey Panthers with me on Friday the 22nd at 7pm (56 min).  It seems very relevant with the current employment situation and I think would be fun to attend together and grab a cup of something afterwards and visit.

I list FREE movies every Friday night that the Wallingford Neighbors show at the Keystone Congregational United Church of Christ and I love that this is community oriented.  It is by donation which takes the pressure off of our budgets during these financially tough times.  They will follow the movie with an optional community discussion on active, vivacious aging; intergenerational connections and future living options such as Co-Housing: both Senior & Intergenerational.  Send me an email and let me know if you are coming, I would love to have your company!   

Wallingford Neighbors for Peace and Justice and  'Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies'
is very pleased to present:  Film: 'MAGGIE GROWLS' (56 min, Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater, 2003) 'Speak your mind - even if your voice shakes, for well aimed slingshots can topple giants.'  - Maggie Kuhn.

MAGGIE GROWLS is a documentary film portrait of the amazing, canny, lusty, charming and unstoppable Maggie Kuhn (1905-1995), who founded the Gray Panthers in 1970 after being forced to retire from a job she loved. Her outrage and determination fueled a political chain reaction that forever changed the lives of older Americans, repealing mandatory retirement laws and proving that 'old' is not a dirty word.

With a disarming mixture of humor, shock value and common sense, Maggie went on to champion universal health care, nursing home reform, shared housing and consumer protection.  Out of what political activist Ralph Nader called 'the most significant retirement in modern American history,' Maggie created one of the most potent social movements of the century - one that was committed to justice, peace and fairness to all, regardless of age.
