SOCIAL JUSTICE EVENT - Giving Back to our Community

YOUR HELP MEANS SO MUCH

THE SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE INVITES YOU TO JOIN US

"STUFF MY BAGS"

We are meeting on Thursday, Sept. 28th from 10:00 – 12:00 at 5347 Sterling Center Dr. WLV

My Stuff Bags Foundation provides a bag of items for children going through an unimaginably traumatic transition into foster care or crisis shelters, assuring them that someone cares.

There is no cost for this event - just your helping hands and a smile. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes as we will be standing most of the time.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Please RSVP today!

Mike Scioscia is a former Major League Baseball Catcher and Manager. As a player, he spent 13 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1980-92) and ranks fourth all-time among Major League catchers with 136 shutouts caught. He managed the Anaheim Angels for 18 years, leading the team to the only World Series title in its history. Scioscia is the only person in MLB history to spend his entire playing career with one team and entire managing career with another team.
Scioscia was the first manager in MLB history to make the playoffs in six of his first ten seasons, and won five American League West division titles in six years. He was twice named the AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America (2002 and 2009) and set the Angels' franchise single-season wins record twice with 99 victories in 2002 and then 100 victories in 2008. He is the current all-time leader in wins, games managed, and division titles won in Angels' history.

Ross Porter has been ranked as one of baseball's 60 all-time best announcers after 28 uninterrupted years on the air in Los Angeles.

In 2005, he was inducted into the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame along with Vin Scully, his longtime colleague, and a legend in the baseball industry himself. In 1989, at a Dodger game against the Houston Astros in Montreal, Ross set a record for broadcasting 22 straight innings, a total of 6 hours and 14 minutes, without any replacements.
