Sonora Making Great Memories for Dads and Families

The Vision for the Sonora Dads Club is to create positive memories for dads and their kids. If you are interested in being a part of the Dads Club, helping with any of these events or plan to attend you can email me at pdetken@thecrossing.com.

This 2010-2011 Season has been incredible! This is our 2nd official year as a dads club and its been very exciting. This past year we have
  • Had a Dads and Kids Overnight Camp out with over 100 kids and adults camping on the Sonora field, eating dogs and watching a movie under the stars.
  • Took our kids on an the Autumn Years Senior Center where we sang songs to them celebrating our veterans and taking some homemade cookies to our new friends.
  • Did a Home Make Over Act of Kindness for a teacher that was recently laid off and taking care of her disabled son. There were over 100 people cleaning her home, painting and landscaping.
  • Enjoyed 3 Family Movie Night, enjoying popcorn and our Sonora family. Over 100 families participated in one of these movies.
  • Started a dads are rad fundraiser, where the winner won 5 hours of dads coming over their house and basically doing whatever they needed done. The ultimate Honey Do List Completed! The winner was Michelle Yeun and we raised close to over $1,000 that will be donated to a new electric marquee.
  • Experienced a Sonora Clean Up Day with over 100 volunteers from Sonora and the Crossing working on over 20 projects to make Sonora beautiful, including painting, planting and even new walk way. 
 Its been a great year and we look forward to our final events for dads and families in May and June.
