Class Description
This drop-in group is open to dads-to-be, stay at home dads, working dads, dads of infants, toddlers, older children, teenagers, and adults - any self-identified dad - to share the joys, challenges, questions and expectations of being or becoming a father. New and expecting fathers, this the group for you.
Join us every third Saturday of the month.
