10th Annual Legacy Community Luncheon: Oct. 11, 2012

Save the date for the 10th Annual Legacy Community Luncheon on October 11, 2012 at the Seattle Sheraton Hotel. Our keynote speaker is Rwandan genocide survivor Immaculee Ilizagiza. Immaculee's life was transformed dramatically during the 1994 Rwandan genocie where she and seven other women spent  91 days huddled silently in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor's house. She credits her survial mostly to prayer and to a set or rosary beads given to her devout Catholic father. Rather than succumbing to rage, Immaculee instead turned to praying the rosary as a way of drowning out her anger and fears. She not only found solace and peace in prayer, Immaculee eventually found it possible, and in fact imperative, to forgive her tormentors and her family's murderers.
