The BIG Event for Fathers and Father Figures

by guest blogger Tim Ryan
fathering consultant at Ryan Educational Resources

We'd like to invite you to join men from around the state in building a coalition to encourage and support the important role fathers and father figures play in kids' lives. This is just the beginning of something BIG and we want you to join us so tell your friends, your spouse, significant other, grandpa, uncle: any man who will commit to being a positive role model for kids everywhere. This is an event that should not be missed if you truly want to advance the cause of being an involved man and making a difference for our kids.

Saturday, October 22 will be a great day for all men in the lives of children and we want you to join us in celebrating the important role we all play in their lives. Our responsibility as fathers and father figures is to guide and help them grow into confident, caring young people.

Join us as we kick off the inaugural Fathering Coalition for Washington State (FCWS) and spend some time having fun, learning and encouraging the involvement of all positive role models for our children. We’ll have wonderful entertainment by the RhythmPlayers, great food, music, guest speakers Jeff Kemp and Roger Fernandes, workshops and resources. All of this is FREE and we know that you want to be a great man for your kids, so show up and join the team.

Sponsored by the Foundation for Early Learning, The BIG Event will be held at the Black River Conference Center in Renton from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, October 22. Register by emailing dadtime@gmail.com or calling 206-280-3458.
