How long have you been a member of WAND?

Why did you decide to join WAND?
I heard Helen Caldicott (the founder of WAND) speak, and I had to join!

There are so many - let me list three. Weekend with Granny D, weekend with Nira Schwartz (whistleblower on missile defense), and our Get Out the Vote campaign.

I sit on the Southfield School Board and the local board of the National Council of Jewish Women. I love to sing, and I love going to the opera.
