A Big Heart from Ladner

After we received a call from Ms. Moira Nixon from Ladner, B.C., our hearts were instantly filled with blessings and warmth.  Moira and her husband Graham would like to donate a number of vintage China cups and saucers to Cookies in a Cup for charity purpose.  As Moira remembered,

"These cups and saucers were part of my mother's China collection.  They dated from around 1965...and have been in storage for over 15 years.  My siblings and I decided to donate these to a worthy cause - something my mom would have liked to do!"

Some say it is a coincidence.  We say it is a little miracle created by a kind heart.  Moira's donation came just in time for the 2nd Annual Friday Fusion Night on April 23th hosted by the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School (OLPH), the very place where Moira and Graham were married in the summer of 1969!  In Moira's letter, she wrote:

To Our Lady of Perpetual Help School,

My youngest two sisters attended in the 1960's.  My baby sister lisped very badly and came running home from first day of kindergarten to say excitedly, "Mummy, my teacher is Thithter Grathe Thethelia!!  AKA Sister Grace Cecilia!"

My husband and I married at the OLPH on August 9, 1969.  Fr. Stephens and Fr. Claude Lemieux officiated with great excitement.  Parishioner Joan Banks hosted our wedding reception in her home.

As one of the sponsors of this Friday's fund raising event, Cookies in a Cup will present delicate gifts with the vintage cup and saucer sets from Moira's generous donation.  Also for the attending guests, there will be hundreds of beautifully wrapped cookies and sugar treats, all heavily loaded with great taste and love.  This is such a meaningful event and we are very proud to be part of it.  May we say it one more time,

Moira and Graham, we couldn't do this without you :)
