Your group sounds like a blast. Bravo!

Years ago we had a wonderful dad's group on the internet. SAHD. Stay At Home Dads. I even went to Oakton Community College for a one-day Dad's event. Get this, I brought my son. That must have been 26 years ago.

Then more recently, we had a South Side Pops group in my neighborhood. We were the dads that had our kids in the local K-6 school. We'd gather monthly at various adult beverage places and just hang, network, chat. Our kids are now mostly finished with college and the group has not had many gatherings in the past 5 years.

This Friday is another local event, Take a Father to School Day, in Pittsburgh Public Schools. I've been on that steering committee for a couple of decades.

Dads and Fathers need to huddle and just be together -- with little or no agenda. Its healthy. Its about community. Its organic.
