National Director

2009 is off to a great start! We have added 40 new WatchDog schools since the first of January.

We continue to hear great stories from WD dads and educators about how this program is haveing a positive impact on the schools and their families. With so many schools facing budget shortfalls this year the WatchDog dads and the help they provide have never been more vital. I just want to encourage all of you to rededicate yourself to your WatchDog Program. Your kids need you at school now more than ever.

I would love to hear your WD story. Let us know about something great that happened during your WD day. With your permission we will post it on our web site.

Keep up the great work!

Spring Semester Launch Events

Wow! What a week last week here at the WATCH D.O.G.S. office. Like many of you, we were without power from mid-Tuesday until early-Friday due to the ice storm that hit the mid-west. If you tried to contact our office, we are sorry we couldn't assist you last week. However, we are now back at work and more than ready to meet your needs. For your information, our office hours are Monday-Friday: 9am-6pm( Eastern); 8am-5pm (Central); 7am-4pm (Mountain); and 6am-3pm (Pacific). You can reach us at 888-540-3647, we would be glad to answer your questions, or hear about your latest news, achievements, and launch events.
Speaking about launch events, this is a good time to be planning your spring launch event. We want to encourage you to have your Donuts with Dads Event. This is a great time to fill the remaining vacant days on your WATCH D.O.G.S. calendar. It's also an appropriate time to have WatchDOGS come together to share their stories with other men, or WatchDOGS as we call them. If you questions about planning your spring event, please do not hesitate to call or email our office.

Best Regards,
