Champions of Faith Video Event John Morales visited our club on Friday, April 25th to share with the boys the Champions of Faith video preview. Mr. Morales told the audience how the video was made and what it was like to interview so many major league baseball stars; like Mike Piazza and others. Over 80 people were on hand to view the movie preview and to enjoy John Morales’ comments about how baseball values are life virtues. Perseverance was a featured virtue. The boys took home autographed flyers and White Sox or Cubs baseball posters. The Champions of Faith video is an excellent way for our club to raise extra funds for scholarships, supplies and fun events for our club. We need more dodgeballs and I’d like to have a summertime event for the club. The videos are available for $20 each. May I ask each family to purchase 3 to 5 videos at our next club meeting and sell the videos to help fund our club’s activities? A Champions of Faith video would make a great birthday gift for your favorite nephew or little league player. Grandparents are always looking for a good gift for all the boys in the family. Here’s their chance to give a Champions of Faith video this year. Remember, May 2nd is our final meeting. Click here for more information:

Joel Stein's new music CD: Always Forward His contemporary Christian rock album excels with upbeat lyrics and catchy songs that inspire and motivate. “It’s always been a dream of mine to release a CD and share my music with others,” Joel said. “I’ve always enjoyed writing songs. And to be able to share my faith through music is a great blessing.” Songs “Thy Kingdom Come,” “Time and Eternity” and “Press On” also focus on certain aspects of the Regnum Christi charism – apostolic dynamism, the appropriate use of time, and perseverance. A favorite entitled, “Save the Family,” is a rich and profound commentary on society and the great need for strong and faithful families in our world. Always Forward's first track is the background for our local club video. Watch the video and enjoy the song. The album is available for purchase at www.JoelSteinMusic.com and offers free audio clips. http://www.joelsteinmusic.com/

Jay Dunlap writes Raising Kids in the Media Age What is the relationship between television and ADD/ADHD? What does hypnosis have in common with watching television? What do we miss when we don't communicate in person? Why will future generations see media such as television and the Internet as a single medium? How do we strike a healthy balance between media consumption and our needs as individuals and families? Jay Dunlap's new book Raising Kids in the Media Age answers these questions and many more with a realistic and constructive approach that parents will find enlightening, practical, and applicable. At the heart of his message, Dunlap shows that parents must understand the communications media in order to be effective educators of their children. The media are here to stay; our task is to learn how to manage this double-edged tool in a way that serves the family and doesn't rip it apart. Click here to buy Raising Kids in the Media Age
