Granny's Itinerary

 

 

Tuesday, August 19, 3:00 PM: Granny D will be giving a talk at the University

Retirement Center, at the corner of Shasta Drive and Covell in northwest Davis.

more on her walk across America and observations on life and politics. Books

will be available for purchase and signing.

 

Tuesday, August 19, 7:00 PM: Granny will speak at the Fellowship Room of the

Davis Community Church on 412 C Street in Davis. This event has been organized

as a collaborative effort by various Davis peace groups and the Alliance for

Democracy. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

 

Wednesday, August 20, 7:00 PM: The Fort Bragg/Mendocino Alliance for Democracy

is sponsoring a talk in Fort Bragg, location to be announced.

 

Thursday, August 21, 7:00 PM: Book signing and talk at Mendocino's Gallery

Bookshop on Main & Kasten St. in Mendocino.

 

Friday, August 22, 4-8:00 PM: The Kucinich for President campaign will sponsor a

picnic in Windsor (north of Santa Rosa) featuring Granny D as the main speaker.

Folkmen. The picnic will take place at Keiser Park on 750 Windsor River Road.

Saturday, August 23, 10:00 AM - Noon: Sonoma's Alliance for Democracy and the

Rosa. The public is warmly invited to attend at no charge.

 

Saturday, August 23, 4 PM: Granny is scheduled to speak at SolFest, the Solar

Living Institute's two-day celebration in Hopland. Granny's dear friend and

fellow-firebrand Jim Hightower is also scheduled to speak (at 12:45). See the

More Activities are being planned, and will be posted on this site as

arrangements are solidified, so check back here as the time approaches for the

latest schedule of Granny D's California visit. Meanwhile, you can visit her web

site and read all about her many activities bringing progressive political

ideals to the far-flung corners of America.

 

You can find her book (see jacket below) at most bookstores and online. It's

recently been reissued in paperback under the title Granny D: You're Never Too

Old to Raise a Little Hell. A delightful tale of her incredible journey, while

at the same time an introspective look back at a life well-lived, Granny D's

insight and wry humor will delight readers of all ages and political stripes.

 

 

" We have a duty to look after each other. If we lose control of our

government, then we lose our ability to dispense justice and human kindness. Our

first priority today, then, is to defeat utterly those forces of greed and

corruption that have come between us and our self-governance. "

--Doris Haddock

 

 

 

 

 

 

" Doris Haddock is a true patriot, and our nation has been blessed by her

remarkable life. Her story will entertain, inform, and inspire people of all

ages for generations to come. "

 

--Jimmy Carter
