Registration is from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The tournament beginning at 7:00 p.m. Registration fee/Donation is $50 for players and $15 for non-playing guests. Prizes will be awarded to the winning players and there will be Entertainment provided by Sawyer Sound. And if that's not enough to convince you, there will be free food too!

Creative Ways for Building Family Wealth

I’m a father of two young children here on Cape Cod. My wife and I have a three year old daughter and a son that just turned one. I’ve been writing about my wife and kids and family stuff quite a bit lately, which is entirely appropriate for the Splash into Family Fun Column that runs every Friday in the Enterprise Newspapers, But I think it’s time to switch things up a little. I feel the need to write about guy stuff, or at least dad stuff, something with a little more testosterone.  

Women have their mom’s clubs but I haven’t heard much about a dad’s club. I don’t know what goes on at these mom’s club meetings. My wife tells me it’s all about how to be a better mom. They talk about issues they face every day as parents with small children, what to make for dinner that kids will actually eat and what playgroups to join. I’m thinking about something similar for dads. We’ll tackle the tough questions like how to brew your own beer, saving your household thousands of dollars each year. We’ll address topics like how to build your family's wealth by playing poker, and maybe we’ll have demonstrations on how to grill the perfect steak over an open fire or hold discussions on the pros and cons of gas vs. charcoal.

Guys? Are you with me? Moms... any of you want to get rid of your husbands for a night every now and then?
