Former Royals player to speak about making good choices Feb. 18

“Former Kansas City Royals first baseman Willie Mays Aikens, who served 16 years in prison for drug offenses, will speak at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at Johnson County Community College.
Aikens will talk in the Carlsen Center’s Polsky Theatre about his days as a star player and his struggle with substance abuse. The event is free and open to the public. Afterward, Aikens will be signing autographs on his book ‘Safe at Home,’ by Gregory Jordan, which will be available for purchase.
Aikens is a former Major League Baseball first baseman who played with the Kansas City Royals in the early 1980s. After his release from prison in 2008, he apologized to fans for the errors of his ways and began speaking to young players about the importance of making good choices. In 2001, the Royals invited him back as a minor league hitting coach.
Aikens’ appearance is supported by the JCCC Foundation and the Nell Mitchell Lecture Series. It is arranged by the Council Addressing Substance Abuse Issues, a campus wide committee that coordinates services for those who seek help.
The college hosts weekly recovery meetings during the fall and spring semesters except for times when the college is closed. Visit the council’s blog for the most updated information. Students also can call the counseling center to make an appointment. The center is located on the second floor of the Student Center.”

but according to his own mercy,
by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that being justified by his grace we might become
heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)”
