Nancy Petaja Life Celebration!

Join us for a gathering to honor the wonderful life of Nancy Petaja. We can share stories, songs and memories of Nancy. Whether you knew Nancy long ago or just recently, everyone's welcome to come together and celebrate her amazing spirit. Some Revels people will be coming down from Massachusetts, and Michael Burke will join us from Maryland. Also Nancy's siblings will be there.

And please feel free to forward this invitation to other friends of Nancy we might have missed.

Please let us know you are coming by May 8th, by responding to this invitation or sending Cynthia Shaw an email at [email protected].

Additionally, in true Nancy Petaja fashion, we're asking if you can help us with the event.

• Bring a memory and/or photos to share
• Bring a song to sing, instrument to play
• Bring a dish or munchies to share
• Bring soda, juice, bottled water or wine (which is the only alcohol allowed)

We'll provide sandwiches, finger foods and cups and the church will provide tables, chairs, a piano, plates & napkins at a very reduced fee.

A donation to help defray the costs of the event would be truly appreciated! ($10, or whatever you wish to give).

• Venmo a donation to Cynthia at @Cynthia-Shaw (917) 951-1767. Put Nancy Celebration in note.
• Mail a check to Cynthia Shaw at 270 Fifth Street, #3H, Brooklyn, New York 11215. Put Nancy Petaja Celebration in note section.
• Bring cash or check made out to Cynthia Shaw to the event.

Any unused money will be donated back to the church because of their generosity.

If you have photos of Nancy, please send jpegs to Cynthia ([email protected]) and she'll create a slide show for all to enjoy.

Thank you all and see you on the 16th. We know Nancy was the master of bringing people together, so let's celebrate her wonderful life together! We look forward to seeing you and celebrating!
