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 😁

Hey Guys, This Hard Rock Happy Hour is going on next Wednesday Feb 28. I've only heard back from like 2 of you, and for me to go I have to move a bunch of things around, so if you're really interested in going to this you have to let me know ASAP or we'll just have to pass on it and wait until we get invited to another one. Regarding Our Next Monthly Hangout... The plan for a full course meal on Saturday Feb 7 got postponed, so we are back to Friday Feb 13th (Palentines Day) at the clubhouse. Let me know if you're coming. As always, we have our 7-7:30 call tonight, here's the link to that: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/83742414949?pwd=kKw6wzFst3QUFR3NU5Kq35pmGx2Z3i.1 In other news, I took on the Hampton Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Challenge (Eat a 5 lb Ice Cream cone within 8 minutes). I didn't win but came kinda close, rhers video of it somewhere on Facebook. I only bring it up to tell you that I still need 2 more Dads who want to take on the Vitzango Pizza Challenge with us. If that's you, comment that you're in and we'll go front there. And last but not least, your Thursday Dadjoke... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT0oeTNCTxc/?igsh=MTllYzZpcW45ZXY4cg== See you tonight?
