“Connections” came from the idea that MBA has the opportunity to strengthen the father and son relationship through education, community service and networking opportunities.  On an ongoing basis, The Fathers Club Connections will have periodic breakfast meetings that are topic driven (some of these meetings will be with and without our sons), will sponsor fathers-only networking and social gatherings, and will offer opportunities to do community service alongside our sons.

 
2018-2019 Activities presently planned at this time include
 
Breakfast with Jim Wellborn
At this event, Jim will talk about the temptations that many of our sons will face in their current environment and how we, as fathers, can encourage them.  The main theme of this event is to introduce a letter writing initiative in which Jim will guide fathers how to “charge” and encourage their son’s through a written letter.
 
Re-leaf Nashville
This event occurs one Saturday every fall where fathers and sons get together to plant trees in an underprivileged area of Nashville.  It is about a 2 hour commitment.  Date to be announced.
 
Last Minute Toy Store
This event occurs in December and is an opportunity for MBA fathers and sons to serve together to hand out toys to parents of underprivileged children at a location (church) in West Nashville.  It is about a 3 hour commitment.  Date to be announced.
 
Father Son Campout
This event occurs in the late spring each year at the MBA Long Mountain property. It is an overnight campout filled with activities. Date to be announced.
