**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** Few things this week. Let's get into it. **First: Friday Night Meeting - still happening.** Sounds like a lighter crew this week but we're showing up anyway. That's what the Pack does. If you're coming, text me so I can get a headcount and get you cleared at the gate. (215) 432-6592. No info, no entry. **Second: Father's Day Party Update - we have a situation.** The pool at the clubhouse went down and we're waiting to find out if it'll be back up in time. We've got Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C ready to go. Plan B - the most likely one right now - would push the party back one week. Still a Father's Day celebration, just not on the exact date. We'll know more later this week and we'll keep you posted the second we do. Here's what's NOT changing though: **the goodie bags are loaded.** We're talking at least $200 worth of goodies per bag. Per bag. If you're in Live Oak or anywhere nearby and you skip this event, that's on you. Don't say we didn't warn you. **Third: Rocket Launch Road Trip - end of September.** Thanks to Esteban we're getting some numbers together. Targeting the last week of September for a Cape Canaveral / SpaceX day trip. Ten dads minimum, twelve max, party bus so nobody has to drive. If you want one of those spots, say something now. Reply, comment, carrier pigeon - just let me know you're in. **Fourth: Dad Joke of the Week.** 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZKZ26Qg3NW/?igsh=Z2l4ejhnNWwxMzc4 Small crew or big crew, we keep building. See you Friday. 🐺 - Jason **P.S.** Got ideas for future activities or anything you think we could be doing better? Drop it. We're all ears.

**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** Light week. Everybody was on a holiday. I get it. But we kept moving anyway. **First: Goodie bags are getting better.** More progress on the Father's Day Party gift bags. We're not done yet but these things are shaping up nicely. June 20th, 12-5 PM, Live Oak Community. If you're new around here - this Friday's Dad Next Door Club is a great chance to come meet with some of the Pack and get the full rundown on what we're building for the 20th. Come through. ⚠️ Remember we are in a gated community - so you have text me your name at 215-432-6592 BEFORE Friday. No info, no entry. **Second: I need your connections.** I'm working on interviews for thenexr issue of Tampa Bay Connects Magazine and I've got a couple spots to fill. CEOs, notables, influencers, anyone doing something interesting in Tampa Bay, especially if they are a Tampa Bay area native. If you know somebody worth talking to, introduce us or send them my way. I figured I'd ask since you never know who in our Pack has a contact that changes everything. **Third: What do YOU want to do next?** We're planning activities for the next few months and we want your input. Here are the options on the table: 1. 🚀 **NASA / SpaceX Road Trip** - Cape Canaveral, party bus, late fall when it's not a million degrees 2. 👧 **Daddy Daughter Event** - thinking some kind of fashion show situation 3. 🤔 **Something completely different** - your idea, you tell us Reply with your pick. Whichever gets the most votes, we do it. Simple as that. **Fourth: Dad Joke of the Week.** 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY4ZxPCgztr/?igsh=MjA2aXBzeWdvb3Aw Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend. See you Friday. 🐺 - Jason P.S. June 20th is 23 days away. If you haven't signed up yet: https://fathersdayparty.dadskool.org/

**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** A lot of good stuff this week. Let's get into it. **First: The Father's Day Party is REAL real now.** We cleared our 20-signup goal and we're now looking at over 100 people. Yeah. One hundred. We had to tweak some language for the HOA but honestly it worked out - we've got a little more budget to play with now. June 20th, 12-5 PM, Live Oak Community. If you haven't signed up yet, do it: https://fathersdayparty.dadskool.org/ **Second: The Daddy Bags are coming in HOT.** As of yesterday, here's what's confirmed going into the gift bags for the dads at the party: - 🎮 $100 Main Event gift cards (that's a LOT of games, fellas) - 🍗 Chick-fil-A cards - 🔥 Dave's Hot Chicken cards - 🍞 Marco's Pizza free crazy bread coupons - Plus a $200 sponsor contribution covering bag supplies and extras More coming in. Calls still out for burgers and other goodies. But yeah... you're going to leave with some calories and some fun money. Not bad for showing up. And speaking of Main Event - we're planning a post-Father's Day excursion there as a Pack to say thank you properly. Maybe a First Friday field trip. We'll bring the cameras and put together a little review video for them. Stay tuned. **Third: NASA Cape Canaveral Trip - September/October.** Here's the pitch. Ten dads. A van or party bus so nobody has to drive. Somewhere in the $200-300 range all in. No overnight, it's not that far. Just a solid Pack day trip when it's not 95 degrees outside. We've already got four interested. We're not doing it unless we hit ten. So if you're in, reply or drop a comment. That's all it takes to make this happen. **Fourth: Tool Time - We need our first volunteer.** Ten minutes to teach us something. Twenty minutes of Q&A. Anything goes - magic trick, AI hack, business pitch, comedy set, whatever you've got. You practice your skills, we learn something new, then we get to the food and games. Who's going first? Reply and claim your slot.
