WATCH D.O.G.S. National Director

Well I hope 2009 has started off in a positive direction for you. The kids are all back in school after a nice long Christmas break and hopefully you've packed away your decorations and lights for another year.

2008 was an especially good year for WATCH D.O.G.S. We ended the year with 1000 Watchdog schools in 32 states and we know that means that over 65,000 men volunteered at least one day in their child's school. Think about it, that's close to half a million volunteer hours!! Guys, in these tough economic times the schools need us more than ever. Yes of course to enhance school security and to be positive male role models for the kids, but also to help bridge the gap created by budget shortfalls that many schools are facing.

Thank you for the time you invested last year in your schools. Please rededicate yourself to do it again in 2009.

Remember:

You're not a good Dad because you're a WatchDog, You're a WatchDOG because you are a good Dad.

I hope you and your families have a great year. We would love to hear from you!
