[LM_NET] ELEM: Dads' Night Out Report

[Debra Allen <kidsbooks2002@YAHOO.COM>]

We held our first Dads' Night Out Tuesday night,
hoping for 25 or 30 dads to show up.  Invitations from
a school father/business-owner (on company letterhead)
had gone out with student newsletters.

At least 90 Dads came, each of whom brought at least
one child.  A local tavern furnished pizza and hot
wings and the Coca-Cola bottler provided drinks. 
Santa Claus led the program by reading Krensky's _How
Santa Got His Job_, a teacher's husband and son acted
out Steig's _Pete's a Pizza_, and two other dads read
Pringle's _Octopus Hug_ and _The Night Before
Christmas_.  Between readings we drew names for door
prizes:  school t-shirts, books, games, and a personal
CD player.  (And I have paperback editions of "Dad"
books for each attender--but the order was delayed!)

The night was covered by two area newspapers and a 
local TV station.

We'll be doing this again in the spring--on the
playground instead of in the library!
