On Saturday, November 4th the Fathers Network held its annual statewide conference. This year it was in Bellevue and truly had a state wide feel with dads attending from, among other places, Whidbey Island, Ellensburg, Pullman, Pasco, Tacoma, Everett, Seattle, Vancouver, and Yakima. There were 7 very informative breakout sessions, a powerful and emotional dads panel presentation, a wide variety of topics brought up during open mic, the Big Time Daddy Award given to Paul Lwali of the YMCA and we had a great wrap-up keynote by Lance Morehouse. I hope everyone who came comes back next year and if you couldn’t make it I hope you’ll make plans to join us in 2018. You can see photos from the event here.
