**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** A lot happening. Let's get into it. **First: We got invited to a private chef's tasting.** This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you're part of the Pack.

Either way, show up. **Dire Wolves — we need to be there at 4:30 PM for paperwork and orientation. Don't be late.** **Can't make either one?** Understandable. Disappointing. But you can still support the Pack — help us cover team t-shirts and expenses: 🐺 https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/the-dire-wolf-comeback-fund . A special shout out to those of you in the Pack that have already, just know that you got us our first aid kit and some other necessities for the game, so mad respect! **Third: June 20th, 12-5 PM — Save. The. Date.** The Dad Next Door Father's Day Party. Our first big event as an official nonprofit. We've already got a sponsored dunk tank and some of the food secured. It's coming together fast. If you're a dad with a business and want a booth, gift bag placement, or a sponsorship — reply now. We're building the Dadabase and we want your business in it.

Fellas, These are some of the attractions we are trying to get sponsored for our "Dad Next Door" Fathers Day Extravaganza Saturday June 20th 12-5pm. We have someone sponsoring the Dunk Tank already, but which of these would YOU want to see? Since we do have a World's Best Dad Belt for you all to compete for, some of these fit in well for parts of the competition. Weigh in, which of these would you like to see most? Also if none of them appeal to you, go through this website and screenshot and post in the group which one you might like to see included. https://moorebouncepartyrentals.com/ 6 weeks til "Dadwali" y'all 😁 P.S. If @Joel Colley and I collect 20 signatures from Live Oak Dads who commit to showing up that day SOMEONE in the group promised to get us significant additional funds for the event, so, we'll be stalking some of you this week, just be ready to sign 😁

**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** Good stuff this week. Let's get into it. **First: The Dire Wolves showed out.** The dodgeball team represented and apparently we made an impression. I ran into Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Chief Jason Dougherty yesterday and he recognized me from our performance at Saturday's game. The Fire Commissioner. A secret fan. Not bad for a bunch of dads who signed up a few weeks ago. Also dropping an edited highlight reel for your eyes only for now — it needs a little polish before we go public but you guys earned first look. Check it out. **Second: Chef's Tasting - May 24th. Spots still open.** This is the kind of thing that happens when you're part of this Pack. Private invites. Real experiences. Chef's Secret Official Taste Testers Event still has room and you should grab a seat before it fills up. 🍽️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chefs-secret-official-taste-taste-testers-event-tickets-1988526362881 **Third: Father's Day Party - June 20th, 12-5 PM. We need 20 signups NOW.** This is our first big event as an official nonprofit and we need to show some numbers to help lock in funding. Takes 30 seconds. Do it here: 🔗 https://fathersdayparty.dadskool.org/ We've already got a sponsored dunk tank and food secured. It's happening in the Live Oak Community and it's going to be a good time. But we need YOU to sign up so the numbers back us up. Go do it right now. Seriously. Right now. I'll wait. Also — if you're a dad with a business, or you know someone at Publix, a corporation, or any organization that does in-kind sponsorships, connect us. We want gift bags, attractions, booths, and all the good stuff. Big sponsorship or small, we'll take it. Every dollar and every connection gets you into the Dadabase — our go-to list of dad-owned businesses we call on, refer to, and shout out to the Pack. **Fourth: Dad Joke of the Week.** 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYCO7XSgCZj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
