Lochrann’s Paddy Dash

Lochrann’s Paddy Dash- Huge success!  Were you part of the 384 entrants for this year’s event promoted by Frisco Sunrise Rotary?  Our run last year was cold, misty and 170 brave souls came out to join us- so with temps in the 60′s- we were glad to see so many of you come out to join us.  Results are posted on the site- how did you do?  I saw a good amount of City leaders on hand; Frisco Mayor Maso, Councilman Jeff Cheney and Patrick Fallon, Jill Cumnock from Frisco Family Services Center and local icon- Randy Creech ran the 5k!  Hours of volunteer time was spent on this event and it would not have happened without the support of our great sponsors!  I hope you will join us in 2011- as a runner, walker or a sponsor- we can use you!

Today is sponsorship pitch day.  Many of you know that I am an active Rotarian here in Frisco.  Last year we successfully promoted a run in Frisco Square called – The Lochrann’s Paddy Dash.  Not to leave out the kids- there was also the 50 yard Piddy Pat Dash.  So we are full steam for 2010 and wanted to show you the sponsorship opportunities we have.  Love to have you involved with this event that all of our proceeds goes to Frisco Family Services Center.  Bounce for Fun will provide and unbelievable kids area.  CareFlite has agreed to be our medical sponsor and will have an ambulance and a helicopter for the kids to tour.  Our DJ sponsor is SoundMasters DJ Entertainment

What is Fatherhood?

To the men of Tankard, I have been thinking a lot about Fatherhood recently.  In just a few days we will have child numbers 3 and 4 when the twin girls get here.  My wife is at 35 weeks now and our doc says be ready at any time.  I searched Wikipedia to see what it had to say and confirmed my suspicion.  Staying involved with our kids is the right way to go.  “children who experience significant father involvement tend to exhibit higher scores on assessments of cognitive development, enhanced social skills and fewer behavior problems”
 
But what to do with our kids aside from all the sports or music events we take them to.  How about a free bike ride around City Hall?  Below is what is going on this Saturday from 10am till noon at Frisco Square.  Load up the SUV with the bikes and come on over and join us.  Stop by the Frisco Cycling Club booth for a great coupon that you can use that day at a nice place called Lochrann’s right around the corner!
 
Don’t miss the biggest family event of the year!  Especially since it’s FREE!!!!!!
 
The 3rd Annual Frisco Family Fun Ride is THIS Saturday!!!  Bring your family and meet your friends and neighbors at Frisco Square on July 25, 2009, from 10am – Noon and ride your bike around a ½ mile loop that is closed to all vehicular traffic.  As in years past, the Frisco Family Fun Ride is a FREE event.
