Grandparents Day 2010

Happy Grandparents Day 2010 to all grandparents! In 1970, Marian McQuade began a campaign to set aside a special day just for grandparents. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the first presidential proclamation, designating the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day.

The first official observance was Sept. 9, 1979 — and has been celebrated every year since.
