I\u2019m only one person, but we\u2019re trying to make it work the best we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Friday\u2019s lineup includes a private bowling party for special needs families, a panel discussion on fatherhood, and a community outreach event to bless the homeless downtown.
