I am excited to announce that F3 will host a Be There Dad workshop on Friday and Saturday April 29th and 30th. Be There Dad is a non-profit corporation devoted to increasing the presence of dads in the lives of their children. The foundation of Be There Dad is the “Power of Presence” – a concept that says when dads are engaged and involved in the lives of their children, good things happen! The workshop is based on a curriculum that will encourage and equip dads to be more engaged with their children through involvement and communication.
Workshop Location: Radiant Life Fellowship Building – Downtown Huntersville (same place we did Shag Dancing and the Marriage Enrichment class)

I know we are all busy and there are a lot of things already taking up space on our calendar but there is no more valuable way to spend your time than working at becoming a more impactful father! Trust me your M will approve of this F3 event.
While F3 is hosting this workshop, it is not limited to only F3ers! Please invite friends and neighbors. This is a great opportunity for them to hear this valuable information and introduce them to F3 Nation! Every man will be able to take something away from this workshop. It does not matter if your kids are all grown up, still at home or that you may not have children right now. This workshop will be beneficial to everyone.
We have limited space for this workshop so that we can maintain an environment conducive to sharing and group work. So add a comment below to HC or contact me on twitter at @bryanrieves
Looking forward to it
