The Trifecta: 3 Father’s Club Events in the Same Day

By Jeff Tischer

If I have had the pleasure to serve with you at a Father’s Club event, you have likely heard me say this phrase: “It’s always a great day when it is a Father’s Club Day!”

It’s 100% true. No matter what else is going on in life, these events always brighten my day. Recently I had three events fall on the same day, so I wanted to share my Trifecta day with you.

March 27th, 2025

7:30am

I was able to greet the kids at California Trail Middle School this morning at drop off, where we gave fist bumps, handed out fruit snacks, and wished the kids well on their state assessment tests that day. These kids love their fruit snacks! It was a beautiful morning with some baseball themed music going for the Royals home opener that day. The best part was greeting my 7th grade daughter and a couple of her friends, and of course, the selfie picture.

11:00am

More fruit snacks for the kids! I was able to meet and talk with a lot of students at Olathe East High School. They shared with me several “dad jokes” that were very funny. If you haven’t recently, ask your kids their favorite dad joke. I promise you both will get a good laugh out of it. The highlight of this visit was seeing my son and checking in on his day, and of course, the selfie picture. But my son wasn’t worried about the camera. He was just worried about the reaction from his friends taking the picture. Ha!

I almost missed it

“Dad, do you want to go outside and chip some golf balls with me?”
“Sorry buddy, I have to get some work done and then hustle off to my Father’s Club meeting tonight.”

This happens to all of us (more often than we realize). My son wanted to spend some 1-on-1 time with his Dad, but my initial reaction was that I was too busy. After a couple of minutes went by, I realized I had just missed a great opportunity to spend some time with my son. I’m so glad that I caught myself on this, and re-prioritized my time. I immediately shut off the computer and went outside with my son to hit a few golf balls with him.

6:00pm

Ok. Ok. I didn’t make it to The Other Place right at 6pm when our Father’s Club event started. I was late because I was spending time with my son and mastering my chipping skills! But that’s ok. I made it to our Olathe East monthly meeting where we always enjoy great food, drinks and great conversation with other dads in my community. I even met a few new dads I had never met before.

I am so thankful for Father’s Club and all the great people I have met and built relationships with. It is so refreshing to meet and talk with our kids who are so polite, respectful and thankful for Father’s Club. I have also built so many strong friendships with other dads in my community. These guys are part of my 2am crew, and they know I will always be there for them and their families as well.
