International Black Woman's 9th Annual Legacy Dinner Gala

All concerns, responses, and such should be address to ibwc1609@cs.com .   IBWC 9th Annual Legacy Dinner Gala ibwc1609@cs.com January 11, 2012   Dear supporters,   I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well in the New Year.  The International Black Women's Congress will hold its Ninth Annual Legacy Dinner Gala in support of the Catherine Lamb Matters of the Heart Institute. As a heart transplant recipient Catherine dedicated her life to working on behalf of others with heart disease. With her death in 2004, the organization renamed its health initiative in her honor.   This year we will honor heart, lung, kidney and pancreas recipients; a donor family; a volunteer for organ and tissue donation; and a medical professional. We hope you can join us at our Ninth Annual Legacy Dinner Gala, which will be held February 11, 2012 at the Norfolk Crowne Plaza Hotel. For out of town guests, we have a room rate of $79 single or double occupancy. Please call the hotel direct at 757-627-5555 and mention the International Black Women's Congress.   The Legacy Dinner Gala is but one example of the work we do—organizing, educating, supporting, and empowering our community.  As we look forward and reflect upon the continued impact IBWC hopes to make in our communities, we know that there is nothing that we do alone. Our work relies on your support. You may support our efforts by purchasing a ticket for $45, and/or  by taking out an ad in the souvenir journal: Full Page $75; Half Page $50; Business Card $25; Booster (Name Only) $10. Checks should be made payable to IBWC and returned by January 31, 2012 to 645 Church Street, Suite 200, Norfolk, VA 23510. Contact us at (757) 625-0500 if you have any questions. Feel free to share the attached flyer with your family and friends. We hope to see you there.   Peace and Love,   Sister La Francis 2002 Heart Transplant Recipient  ibwc1609@cs.com In Sisterhood, La Francis   All concerns, responses, and such should be address to ibwc1609@cs.com .
