Did you know that Sunday, September 11th, 2010 is National Grandparents Day?


The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grand Parents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
