FATHERS

2003 Note From a Dad to Sherry:
“On another subject entirely, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your work. My wife joined one of your groups when our son was born. That was 3 years ago, and the group is still going strong. A few families have moved away, but a new generation of babies is here, or shortly to arrive. We (the dads are somewhat involved) continue to schedule play dates once a week, not to mention a holiday party and an annual camping overnight to the Sierras in August--we've done that twice now. It has been wonderful to have these children and parents in our lives. Thanks again.”

2003 Note From a Dad to Sherry:
“Admittedly, I was skeptical at first -- why should we pay hundreds of dollars when you can just as easily meet with friends you bump into strolling around the neighborhood? Soon after I caved in, I realized the
value of the group. My wife had greater peace of mind, as well as the confidence to try new approaches in care -- and our little one responded making everyone a little more pleasant around home!”
