Lincoln Children's Museum Update
We just got great news from the Childrens Museum in Lincoln. On Wed, June 21 10AM-5pm fathers and children will be admitted for free. Check in at the front desk to fill out some info. I would encourage the guys from Omaha to come down and check it out. I will post directions and more info early next week. Thank you to Sue and everyone at this great facility for your help.

Mahoney Update
I was the only dad at Mahoney State Park on Monday. I met with Erin from the Lincoln Journal Star and our group will be featured in Friday's Hubbub section. Grab a paper or check www.journalstar.com on Friday. I have to say that I've been a little dissapointed with the turnouts we've had lately. I was very encouraged by the number of guys who came to Grandmothers and expressed interest in being involved with our group. If there are reasons why so few are showing up, let me know.

Mahoney State Park
Monday June 12 we will meet at Mahoney state park at the outdoor playground by the theatre 10am. We will be joined by Erin Andersen of the Lincoln Journal Star in preperation of a story on our group. Mike is unable to attend, so I hope you can make it out in good numbers. Pack a lunch if you don't want to eat marina food. I will probably stay until after lunch, but feel free to stay all day.

Friday Playgroup
Friday June 9 at Henry Doorly Zoo 10am meet at lion sculpture inside main gate. I will be unable to attend, so have fun.

Ride Share and Designated Drivers
If you are interested in sharing a ride to Dads Night Outs or any other event, sign up for the yahoo message board (link down left side of this page). Post your location in Omaha/Lincoln and how to get ahold of your bad self. The KC dads use this and it works pretty well. Its a good way to get to know other dads as well.

We had four dads and eight kids at the first playgroup on Friday at the Benson community center. Any of you dads who have older kids getting out of school, the center has a gym for the kids to play b-ball.

Friday June 9 playgroup will be at the Henry Doorly Zoo at 10am. Meet at the lion sculpture. Contact Mike at 339-5860 if you haven't met any of the dads so you know who to look for. Or come to Gretna Dads night out Wed May 31 8pm.

Message Board Update
So far we have nine dads signed up on the yahoo message board. If you haven't signed up and are interested in the group, click on the link down the left of the page. This is the best way to keep informed and share info with other dads. Mike and I will not call people to update events (unless you don't have regular computer access). When you sign up, post a quick message about yourself..kids..where you live..etc. Looking forward to seeing and meeting all the dads Friday in Omaha.
