suited to do that for everyone. board of education. Thanks so much for hosting us. So most of you familiar closing in history organization.
My son, the texture and spirit. You guys have been running alongside us since 2005. So before I start, I want to just kind of highlight It's not unlike
microphone, right? And so really want to come out. I don't know. collaboration and bring that together. So um
when we started this in 2003 shut down right started 2005 started chasing in 2003 he tonight. You probably heard of her name. Kathy Rose. What we want
to So through the magic of live today. I want to also thank our supporters come out Last is parents is still in operation
and we just haven't seen throughout the entire state So with that wall I hope you like We are super moment.
Everything. growers and growing for ourselves. Our children relationship with our children's possible protect. No man stands tall reaching down to
help. There's no word for all of this. It's amaz There's no other thing like this. Nowhere. And that's the most beautiful thing about it. One lady sent this man a email and 20
years later we're sitting here doing the same. We're all talking about it saying, "Wow. So, my name is Donald Aano and I'm one of the founding members. And it was good for me at the time, you know, being connected with other dads. You know, my brother was in it. Uh, two of our good
friends were in it, Dave and Sean, uh, Tony. So, we had a bunch of friends in it, and we all had young kids together. So being able to connect with guys like Jeff and Bob Stone and you know the older guys who are are older and more settled in and you know they knew more
they had more kids that done it before. So to get like the the feel of what they were doing and how they did it was just great. Uh it was like a camaraderie of like you know hey we did this it didn't work it move on to something else. So like the idea that a dad's group it wasn't a
parent group. It wasn't, you know, mommy me class for the moms. It was help for the dads who want to be active in their kids' lives. >> We all have a lot of things in common. Whether we've been through divorce, whether it's some of the kids have problems, whether it's just sort of like
you just need some place to go once in a while, but everybody has always same similar kind of situations at different times. But we all seem to be helping each other. And it's just that little few moments we get to talk sometimes that gets us through maybe a week, maybe
two weeks, maybe maybe a month of just getting relaxed so we can move all the stuff that we have. We the members of father time make time in our schedules to meet weekly because we value our important and privileged roles as fathers, father figures, and recognize
that the time we have to enjoy and experience our children is finite. Being a father before I met these guys in my mentality was more about providing financially, making sure houses and that
kind of stuff was met. After talking with everybody, I I realized it's more than that. There has to be more physical uh time with the kids to make a difference. And uh the friendships I've made have lasted.
They don't judge me. They never have and they welcome me back with open arms when I came back a couple months ago. It's it's I can call any one of them at any time and they'll do what they can to help me. I was a single father raising my daughter and this was a great support
group over the years with different questions that come up, you know, that my parents and my parents were always there too. But it was a good outreach to bounce things off. It's just uh like a family to me, you know. I learned a lot from it. I got to know my kids better.
Now I can get to know my grandkids even better. What they're saying, what they mean. I learned from it all the time, you know, which is good, you know, and that's what made me a better man I am years and years ago. It's all like a family, you know, I mean, we all help
each other out and we do a lot of things for the kids. That's the fun part, you know, especially with the grandkids. But the fishing is always one of the best events that we have. You get families coming. It's not just from Kingsburg, but from anywhere. We don't care where they come from. There's And they come
from a variety of towns in the area. And we make sure they just have a lot of fun. The second annual fall derby. This the second year of our obligated to do four to five community activities a year. This is our kickoff
for the year. We're thrilled to be here. The response from this town has been like a dream. We can look to a path of growth as men and as dads. We work toward spending time with our kids. We plan our activities organizing our relationship with our kids. Keep
them close to us. I can't believe we've been out on this beach probably 35 times over the 20 years. One of the nicest days. Okay, stay alert. If you're still fishing, we'll give you a prize. 20-year mark means the success rate that Jeff has
definitely done something right here where we have had sponsorship throughout and um he's actually gotten all the plans that have started because of this one. I am a former schoolboard member. It's a great program. It helps the dads that are in situations where they're separated, divorced, or whatever. Um,
it's an outlet to remind us that why we are here and it's for the children. >> So, I brought some toy for decorations and I found some fish and they're so much fun. I I like fishing at the fishing derby because so I can GET A LOT
OF prizes and because I like making the sand castles. I went to father time for a really long time since I was little and it's a really fun thing. We go to the beach camp and just gives kids my age, your age, chances to have fun. This
is my first year. I'm so excited about it and it's really exciting. All the sand castles and the kids and Jeff has been doing this, him and his guys for Father Time for so long. So, I'm excited to be a part of it. No matter how how rough the world is or your day is or
your what's going on, instead of getting sad or depressed or worried about it, you've always got the anchor of the Father Time crew. And they told me to look for the silver lining. just the the reassurances you get and it it's it's
amazing how much one person can do and then when you have a bunch of one persons doing stuff together what you can do in unity it's it's it multiplies and it's just incredible how how much good a small group of five six seven regulars can do in the world is so impressive continue to stand tall while
reaching down to help a child in the spirit of Tommy's love for community >> my father-in-law was in and he come up with the statement No man stands taller than when reaching down to help a child. And that that's something that sticks I
think with a lot of us. Imagine in a town where they know you're a father time member and they ask you when's the next event. They come running up to you and they just they want your full attention. They want you to, you know,
put a worm on a hook for him or help them fix a tent in one of the, you know, our vents. And it's just it's just amazing. And it just brings so much joy. I I I would never change ever. It's important to have an outlet to bounce information
off, bounce questions off of, and the gentleman in Father Time really provide that aspect to me. It's it's it's almost like the quest of lifelong learning. There's always something new to learn. There's always a new wrinkle to being a dad, to being a parent, uh to serving the community, to helping others. It's
just been a blessing. And um I'm very lucky to have this uh organization as part of my life. I'm no longer afraid to tell you how I feel. I'm no longer afraid to say if I'm sad or if I want to cry or if I'm happy. It's it's what we
learned in these 20 years with each other. And there's many things in that room that never leaves that room. And that's why I'm here looking forward with our lives. And I will say one thing, you guys are a great support unit. And I thank everyone. We thank you.
>> That's why we're here. >> The role of a father is a really prominent role in a family and in a society. And it's not always represented that way. Like dads are made
to be buffoons on sitcoms or uh moms will be the first person that you go to when you have a question about a kid. And so I think one of the things that I carry is that, you know, many of our dads are single parent dads, so they're doing it all. You know, they're
playing all roles from braiding hair to taking to dance recital to going fishing to whatever, cooking. And so one of the things I think it carries with me is that guys are important. You know, they're important people in a family.
When you have a bunch of guys that you trust affirming your strengths and your weaknesses as a dad or as a person, it allows you to kind of grow as a dad. So, I think I'm a lot more comfortable in the role of dad, as a result of this
organization, as a result of the way our group has evolved and supported one another through our we call our dad's journey. You know, it's a bond unlike any I've had. I mean, there's not one guy in that room who isn't either a
great father, a great grandfather, or is just trying to be better. You're going to find a safe space here. You're going to find other dads that don't judge people because we're all imperfect dads. But we all are friends and and bring it here. And you'll be glad and you'll find
you'll you'll find the reasons why it was good to stay in this organization. I could never explain them to you. Hello, this is Mayor George Hoff from the B of Kingsburg and I wanted to reach
out and say congratulations to Fan for 20 years of service in Kingsburg. They do an amazing job with their events from the pictures with Santa, the father dance, the fishing derby, and their participation in our parades. All of
which I've had the privilege of participating in myself with my children. The number one thing my father time does is they offer help and hope to parents who are struggling and who just need advice. So on behalf of the
residents of Kingsburg, I wish Jeff and his crew another 20 years of service and 20 years of good luck to come. Congratulations and good luck. This is rewind. Okay.

this is the time of year when everything has stop and miss and I were talking about there's something almost every night for like the next month or so. So if you just want to look at the district calendar you'll see all the things that are going on. >> Sir um I just want to thank Mr. Johnson and all the members of father time. Uh
they run a great organization and my children and I have been the benefactors of of that whether it's getting to go the fatherdaughter dance which you've done many times. We've been the fishing derby numerous times. Actually, fortunately, nobody wanted to go with me this time. I really wish I had gone across the street because I live three houses in from the bay to to just come
over and support them because they really do an amazing job. Um, one of m Mr. Tunny great retirement. U, Mr. Henry, um, I know I have to recuse myself on that. For those that don't know, my wife is now a teacher at Caruso. Um, but I can tell you how much
she raves about the leadership uh, both of the principal and the vice principal um, at that district. And so, um, you know, it's been said about vice principles, you want them to move on and become principal, and he's over the last three years, he's shown growth and and what he needs to do to do that, and I wish him the best of luck, and I think
they'll have a lot of success. >> All right. Thank you. U, for the record, I love all principles and vice principles. I'm sorry I missed the meeting in April. Uh, again, I could not have been in two places at once. With that being said, I thank my fellow board members for
passing a budget. Um, our our budget team did an amazing job given the S2 numbers and I like S2. I don't think I can say that as many times as I can. I'll even say it in the Macy's windows. S2 stinks. Um, I'd like to uh wish Mr.
Sean Honey an outstanding retirement. I did speak to Mr. Henry. We are going to be loved in this father time. Again, one of my favorite pictures is with my nephew. Staff appreciation week. I call it staff appreciation year because again they get to teach our children. So again
with that being said book mentioned a gentleman that's going to med school. That's pretty cool guys. The play. Oh my god. Again I can't sing in the shower. These individuals got up on stage and did such an amazing job. That's it's incredible. Spring sports. I owe
everybody an apology because I didn't make a lot of the uh games that I wanted to. But again, with that being said, we did have some amazing moments. Tomorrow, the playoff game was cancelled today due to the heat, but they will play tomorrow at
home. The spring concert was amazing. So, I happened to be standing next to uh Mrs. Hudson, what she told Mr. Ferraro to hold my Gatorade and went out became the uh girls flag football coach of the year. So, uh again, our little town has a coach of the year in basketball. We
have a coach of the year in flag football. So again, then we have a kid going to med school. We have someone going to um MIT. So our little town we're producing we're decent. And again, it all comes from the staff of the year, not of the week. Um the key club members
helped out huge this past weekend for the burrow of Kingsburg. We had our uh parade. Thank the board of ed board of education members who came and marched and the food truck festival on Saturday. Uh I believe the New York Knicks are going to win in six. With that being
said, I take a motion to end the meeting. >> Thank you all for coming. That's it.
