Dine Out with Contact Point
by Stephen Cohen
On Tuesday Jan 12th, Atlanta ContactPoint is partnering with YEAH! BURGER in VaHi at 1017 N. Highland Ave for their “Feel Good” Tuesday. They will share 10% of their evening’s proceeds to help support Atlanta ContactPoint’s work in the community.
Says ContactPoint’s David Epstein: “We invite you to join the ACP Team and friends for burgers, beers, & milkshakes! From 6-10pm, join us and meet our team, eat really tasty food, and support our work! Please come hungry and feel free to bring a friend or two! The more the merrier! We are so grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you, soon!”
Who is Atlanta ContactPoint?
Atlanta ContactPoint engages children and adults through the power of play. Their neighborhood programs include sports, fitness, art, and nutrition to facilitate wellness and learning.
An example may be found in the PLAY DAYS that they host throughout the year at local city parks and public venues. You may have seen them, for example, on BeltLine fun days. This photo, courtesy of the ACP Website, is from a PLAY DAY held at Inman Middle School.
Their activities are very diverse and include such personal favorites as Dragon Goal. (More about that below).
Currently ACP is in the process of launching a multi-functional recreation and community activity space for kids and adults to PLAY, learn, and socialize. Named ContactPoint, Druid Hills, it will host daily activities and provide a variety of custom classes emphasizing sports, fitness, arts, and nutritional education. ContactPoint, Druid Hills is located at DHUMC 1200 Ponce De Leon Ave., Atlanta GA 30306
About Dragon Goal
I love watching kids playing Dragon Goal. You may have seen it pop up at various neighborhood events. Portable Dragon Goal micro-fields, invented in Italy a few years ago, create more opportunities to play soccer, while also providing great benefits for the players. It engages kids and adults to play Flash Goal, a fast-paced game that strengthens the ability to control and pass the ball quickly while constantly anticipating the opponent team’s reactions. Here’s a YouTube clip of Dragon Goal in action.
