( Added: April 29, 2008 ) - The National Association of Baby Boomer Women (www.NABBW.com) and www.boomerwomenspeak.com, have joined forces with GRAND Magazine (www.grandmagazine.com) to offer to a first-ever “Favorite Grandparent Memory” writing contest. Teamed with GRAND Magazine, the NABBW has opened the contest to boomer-age men and women alike.

The winner of the Favorite Grandparent Memory contest will receive $250 and a free membership (or free renewal) in the National Association of Baby Boomer Women (Should a man win, he can keep the $250 and give the free membership to a boomer woman.) Additionally, the winning story will appear in the “Our Voices” section at www.boomerwomenspeak.com, a sister Web site of the NABBW. It will be published in the September/October issue of GRAND Magazine!

According to Dotsie Bregel, founder of the NABBW, “We know everyone has a favorite story tucked away about their “Granny,” or “Poppa.” With boomers embracing grandparenting, we thought it would be fun to consider what we boomers enjoyed most about our own grandparents.”

Bregel expects entries to come from all over the world. “With this contest, we could very well experience the largest number of entries ever, and we welcome them all!”

Entries can be submitted to contest@nabbw.com with FAVORITE GRANDPARENT MEMORY in the subject line. Entries must be 500 words or less and must be sent as an attachment in a Word document by July 1, 2008. Contestants should include their name, email address and a short bio (no more than 75 words) at the top of the attached Word document entry.
