Open House
Sunday, September 20th (1-4 P.M)
Skeena Diversity, 4721 Lazelle Avenue

We are sadly losing one of our long-time members, Rani Parmar, who is leaving in early October to go and live with her daughter, Angie, and son-in-law, Michael, in Surrey, BC.

Rani came to Terrace around 1970, a year after her husband Nirmal came to the community.   She worked in the hospital kitchen for many years and has supported and been with Nirmal to many, many events over the years and in so doing has made many, many friends, particularly with Terrace & District Multicultural Association, Skeena Diversity, the Red Hat Ladies, Kermode Friendship Centre and the Skeena Valley Seniors Society.  Her consistency in being a ‘connector’ in our community has been outstanding and her ability to maintain this since Nirmal passed away four years ago has been admirable.  Rani has always been available over the years to help with our annual fund-raising events and we will very much miss her support and her chuckles.

We cannot let Rani leave without her having the opportunity to say ‘farewell’ to those whose lives she has touched on, so……we are hosting an Open House at Skeena Diversity Centre (4721 Lazelle Avenue) between the hours of 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, September 20th.  There will be refreshments, goodies and music for you to enjoy as well.

This is a no-gift gathering – we simply ask that you come and bring with you a memory in the form of a card, a poem, a photograph or a story, or anything 2-dimensional that will fit into the Scrapbook we are creating for Rani to take with her.   Memories are our greatest gift to each other and she will relish and love this gift like no other.   

Supplies will be available to help include your memory in the Scrapbook when you come so it will be compiled (mostly) that day.  If you are not able to come and wish to have your memory included in the Scrapbook please let us know and we will ensure it is  inserted.

We are trying our best to contact everyone Rani knows so if you know of someone  please pass this invitation on.  Thank you.

Hope to see you there.
