Winter Bowling Extravaganzas are here!
Winter is tough for a lot of folks. We get it. So this year, we're really focusing on creating opportunities for fun and connection during those dark and cold months that often hit us the hardest. This winter, families are invited to come party with Dad Guild at one of our three Winter Bowling Extravaganzas!
These events will be taking place at the St. Mark Church Bowling Alley in Burlington's New North End. And yes, that isn't a typo. This church has a bowling alley. So rad.
Dad Guild families (partners too!) are invited to come bowl, play ping-pong, pool, foosball, air hockey, and listen to some jams while indulging in some seltzers, juice boxes, and light snacks. Talk about a middle school dream come true.
We've rented the space from the church and will not be charging for admission, but we are suggesting a donation of $20 per family for each two-hour experience. If you can pay more, feel free to do so. If you need to pay less or not at all, feel free to do so.
Space is limited! Each event has a cap of 40 total people, including all family members who will be attending. Get your tickets today by clicking this link. Please be in touch with any questions, and we'll see you out there!

How are you explaining Thanksgiving to your kids?
Thanksgiving is a great time to visit family and friends, recharge our batteries, and to express gratitude for the many wonderful things in our lives.
However, the stereotypical image of Indigenous people and Pilgrims celebrating together over a feast is grossly inaccurate. Please use this holiday to dig a little deeper, and to share information from some of the following resources with your kids:
