Dads and Grandpa's--please join us for our Watch DOG kick off. We will spend a little time going over expectations, answering questions, and eating pizza. We will have our sign up genius ready by that night. It is not required that you attend to be a Watch DOG this year, but we would love to have you! Let Mom take a break from dinner and bring your children for pizza!
