Dad’ Outing Planned for January 28th!
Please join Steve Holland, Paul Carson and other NWDSA dads on Saturday, January 28th for an afternoon of conversation and good times at McMenamin’s Backstage Bar pool room.
If you haven’t been there, the Backstage Bar is a great space with classic oak pool tables and a relaxing vibe. This is a great chance for us dads to take a break and get together for some fun and camaraderie. We hope to see you there! Just let them know you are looking for the NWDSA group when you get there, and they’ll help you find us. Leave the kids at home for this one!
January 28th, 2:00pm – 4:00pm
McMenamin’s Backstage Bar
