Request for Question Clarification by taxmama-ga on 22 May 2005 19:33 PDT

Dear SilverStork,

You're going to love this article:

Census Bureau Facts for Features: Father's Day
http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=29607

If you are in the business of writing, or even of developing
marketing material, you might want to sign up for some of the
Poynter.org publications - in particular, Al's Morning Meeting. 

I found the link to that article in one of Al's recent columns.

Here are some other sites to help you:

ACFC - American Coalition for Fathers and Children  
www.acfc.org 

Fathers.com - trends in fathering
http://www.fathers.com/research/trends.html

Father's Day Spending
retailindustry.about.com/ cs/org_merchantgroups/a/bl_nrf060303.htm -


Fatherhood.org
http://fatherhood.org

Dad's Rights
http://www.dadsrights.org/


A Canadian institution studying trends in fatherhood
http://www.vifamily.ca/library/cft/fathers.html

Do a Google search on 'fathers trends' to get some
really good results. 

Then, while in Google, click on the 'News' link to get recent articles.
http://news.google.com/news?q=fathers%20trends&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wn

In fact, you can use Google Alerts - the News clipping service to 
get notified anytime someone writes an article about fathers or dads.

Is this a good starting point for you?

Best wishes
