Dear friends and colleagues of Bev:

Bev's family has invited us all to come together to remember Bev and her remarkable life this week. I know that many of you live too far away to travel here, but I know you loved Bev too, and would probably want the particulars:

DATE: Friday, Dec. 17
TIME: 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
PLACE: Shanghai 1930 (Bev's favorite restaurant) in the Guanxi Lounge, named after the network of relationships and contacts through which people cooperate and support one another.

PLEASE RSVP: Please call Irene at 415-474-5000 to let her know you are coming or email here here.

ADDRESS: 133 Steuart St. between Howard and Mission, San Francisco, near the Embarcadero. For the elevator, take the glass door to the left off the street.
Parking garages are one block down on Howard and Steuart and two blocks over on Main Street and Mission.

Your photos requested for memorial book: If you have a favorite photo of Bev, either alone or with a group, please send it electronically to Irene to be included.

Donations to support the kind of journalism programs that Bev cared so deeply about can be sent to:
The Beverly Kees Fund for Journalism
c/o Sigma Delta Chi Foundation
3909 N. Meridian Street
Indianapolis, Ind. 46208-4011
