Give the Gift of You!


Dear Friend of LIS:

On Saturday, April 25, 2009, friends of the Loyola Institute for Spirituality will gather at the DoubleTree Hotel and Resort in Anaheim for the seventh annual Hearts on Fire Dinner and Award Ceremony, a joyous celebration at which we honor three outstanding Christian leaders formed in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

We need your help. It takes many hearts and hands to make the Hearts on Fire dinner a success. This year we are inviting all the friends of LIS to join us in planning and preparing the event. We need people who have time and talent to share in the following areas:


Sponsorship solicitation
Underwriting appeals
Media relations (pitching)
Public relations
Advertising sales
Internet marketing/web design
Event advertising and promotion
Hospitality
Live-auction gift getting
Decorations and set design
Flower arranging

Transportation and logistics


A Volunteer Organizing Meeting will be held at 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Rosita Diaz Room at the LIS office at 480 S. Batavia in Orange on Thursday, December 18, 2009. You'll hear about Hearts on Fire Dinner and Award Ceremony, and have the opportunity to volunteer for any size task you wish to embrace. Most importantly, you'll meet other friends of the Institute who are devoted to bringing spirituality to life! The meeting will be held in English and Spanish.

Please RSVP to Cindy Galvez at 714-997-9587 or cgalvez@loyolainstitute.org by noon Wednesday, December 17 to let her know you will be joining us.
