Nancy's Last Tea Party - Sept 12

Dear family, friends,

Nancy loved a good tea party, and has hosted untold dozens of them. And, she loved to get dressed up, too. So we're combining these as the theme for Nancy's memorial service on September 12 at UBC!

Please come dressed up to honour our beloved Nance, and also, please bring some baking! This idea is inspired by Tracy Tessler, and I must admit to some trepidation in suggesting it...Nancy and I often had these types of discussions, where her magnanimous generosity would want her to provide everything, and not ask for contributions. At the same time, so many people have been asking how they can help, how they can honour Nancy, and this seems so fitting. As you may know, Nancy was a baker extraordinaire, whose legendary brownies and lemon squares and cakes have produced a legacy of blissful smiles and satisfied palates. If you feel inspired to bake or buy something, go for it! Chocolate and lemon were her favourites, but caramel was right up there too...

We are expecting between 400 and 500 people!!

As a reminder:

1. The service will be held on Friday of next week, September 12 at 5:00 pm at UBC: Woodward Instructional Resources Centre - IRC Building at 2194 Health Sciences Mall. You are warmly welcome. The formal part of the service will be done by 6:30, and tea/coffee/baking/cheese & fruit will be served in the foyer afterwards

2. I am collecting photos of Nancy - mainly just to have them and enjoy, but also for potential use at her memorial service on Sept 12. Do you have any favourite shots of her you'd be willing to share? Please send them to me ASAP in as high a resolution as you can by email to ajohnson@wimsey.com

3. Please contribute to Nancy's legacy by donating to the Dr. Nancy Scott Memorial Award for UBC dentistry students: http://memorial.supporting.ubc.ca/dr-nancy-scott/

With love and the fond hope of seeing you on the 12th,

Andrew & Gemma
