December 2007 Breakfast Meeting - Saturday 12/8/07


This December, the whole family is invited to breakfast and to hear guest speaker, former MLB pitcher Dave Frost.

Dave pitched for the California Angels from 1978 to 1981. In 1979, his first full season with the club, he won sixteen games and helped lead the Angels to their first division championship. At the conclusion of the season he was chosen as the team’s most valuable pitcher by the Baseball Writer’s Association of America. Dave also pitched for the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals.

Upon retirement from baseball, he worked as a floor trader at the commodities exchange in Chicago. Dave has also presented seminars and training to businesses on a wide range of topics such as motivation, team building, attitude, and stress management. He has been a columnist for the Orange County Register in which he wrote a weekly feature on "sports and family issues." He has also been a frequent guest on radio talk shows discussing subjects such as life transitions, family sports issues, and athletes in crisis.

Dave received his Bachelors degree in Political Science from Stanford University. He also has a Master’s degree in Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. He and his wife, Alla, have one child and reside in Long Beach, Ca.

We will begin as usual with 8 AM Mass, followed by a fantastic family breakfast at 8:30 in the Cafeteria. Dave will speak immediately following breakfast. The event will conclude at 10:30 AM. Please RSVP to Steve at sshanklin@verizon.net including the number of guests you will be bringing, so that we can plan properly for food.

So take a break from stringing house lights, setting out the the snow domes and twinkling reindeer, and trying to find a parking spot at the mall. Faith, food & fellowship for the whole family! Bring a friend (and his family too.)
