Dad to Dad - Atlanta View the current calendar of events Description: Dad-to-Dad was started
in 1995 by Curtis Cooper here in Atlanta, GA. The group
began as a way for full-time dads to get together with
other full-time dads. At weekly playgroups, the kids
get to enjoy playtime together, and the dads can talk
about... uh... dad stuff.We also schedule field trips,
family weekends, and (most importantly) dads' night
out dinners. It's a great way to meet other guys who
stay home with their kids, get out of the house and
socialize, and not feel like "Mr. Mom." - Excerpt
