GREAT DAD NETWORKING EVENT @ BISCUITS & BOURBON
Family Values hosted a Fatherhood Forum networking event yesterday at Biscuits & Bourbon in downtown Pontiac. GREAT Dad was founded by David Stimage and their mission is to improve parent development through child engagement.
The event was hosted at Biscuits & Boubon in Downtown Pontiac and include about 30 Men/Fathers/Brothers from the surrounding community. The event included a panel of Fathers/Entrepreneurs including Solomon Bonner of Solo Images, Demar Byas of Iviiileague 360, Sean Preston of Yaktown Don't Back Down, and Julian Gallenger - Clothing Line Owner. This was a great event with a lot of takeaways and good advice. Being a father it was good to listen to other fathers share experience which really lightens the load when you are a father, I just wish more young fathers were able to take part in the event.
Great job David Stimage for putting this together and sharing your story. Keep up the good work Brother! To find out more information please check out Great Dad on Social Media.

We were able to read to over 15 classrooms of preschoolers and pass out snacks to over 340 Preschoolers along with Staff at P.E.A.C.E. Academy in Pontiac for our second straight year, and the first thing they asked is when will we be back? We would like to thank Mrs. Harris once again and for allowing us to be apart of National Reading month and for allowing us to make a difference with the kids right here in our very own community.
Not only that we would like to welcome our new Brothers to the fold Brother Cliente Buckner of Sky's The Limit Basketball in Pontiac, Michigan and Brother Pastor Kayre Stanley of St. James Missionary Baptist Church of Pontiac, Michigan.
