Speaking of grandparents....
"There's a new landing page on Facebook that's designed to get families involved sharing updates, photos, and videos on the social network."

Did you know that when you create an event within a supposedly private group, it's shared either with your local network (perhaps your city/town if that is how you are listed) or all of Facebook?
