The DJO Dads Club is up and running after a festive meeting at the Italian Cafe on Thursday, Nov. 2. Our well-attended meeting included fellowship, establishing new friendships, and brainstorming with ideas on how we can serve the Bishop O'Connell community.
We discussed the results of our online survey where more than 100 dads provided comments on everything from the name of our club (DJO Dads Club was by far the name we like) to our primary mission (service to the school, fraternity, fellowship and youth engagement). We also shared our professional and personal experiences, especially those that relate to the challenges and joys of parenting sons and daughters in the age of social media.
We dads are looking forward to growing and sustaining our numbers to well over 100 fathers so that our combined efforts will leave a lasting legacy to our children, our school and to our community. Additionally, it's a great time to join together and cement new friendships. Our children are friends, and that makes it much easier for us dads to build new friendships as well.
So all fathers are invited to join your brethren at the December meeting where Dr. Vorbach will attend to share with us some of his goals for the school and opportunities for the DJO Dads Club to strengthen these efforts.
The next monthly meeting is Wednesday, Dec.13 at 7:00 PM at the Italian Cafe, 7161 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA. Dads should respond via the Evite. If you would like to be added, please reach out to DJODads@bishopoconnell.org with your preferred contact information. All are encouraged to come with ideas for the first project. We dads are fired up and ready to achieve something great!
