Although Jane Austen's birthday is on December 16, we now celebrate in January,
when we all appreciate a party.

A reporter from
FastForward
covered our event - a first for Jasna Calgary.
Our tea was as fabulous as the special invitation prepared this year.

Tea and cheese biscuits were followed by delicious trifle
After lots of conversation amongst our tea organizers, Leslie and Margaret,
and all the guests,
Emma took our imaginations to the Bath Spa.
Reid Spencer and Bruce Petherick
presented musical entertainment with information
and songs gleaned from the Chawton House library.
Tea 2009
For entertainment beyond good conversation,
we presented the one-act play “Ask Miss Austen”, written by member Elizabeth Marshall.
In it, Jane Austen gives advice to modern people with “relationship problems”,
using the experiences of the characters in her novels.
Tea 2006
We enjoyed a local speaker and a special cake
celebrating Jane Austen's birthday.
