Father-Con, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering fathers and strengthening families, is inviting the community to a special reading event on Saturday, June 28, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Downey City Library.<\/p>\n
The free event will feature live readings by three featured authors \u2014 Sunny Seki, William Denson, and Lisa Pacheco \u2014 who will share selections from their published works with attendees of all ages. <\/p>\n
In addition to author appearances, the event will provide opportunities for fathers to read aloud to their children in a supportive and encouraging environment.<\/p>\n
Families in attendance will also receive free books and enjoy complimentary pizza while supplies last. Admission is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
The event aligns with Father-Con\u2019s mission to engage, equip, and encourage fathers and father figures through education, mentorship, and community events. Founded on the belief that fathers play a vital role in child development and academic success, Father-Con promotes literacy and quality family time through initiatives like this weekend\u2019s reading celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cReading with your child builds more than literacy\u2014it builds connection,\u201d said organizers. \u201cThis is a great opportunity for dads and kids to enjoy time together, meet inspiring authors, and take home free books.\u201d<\/p>\n
