Calling all dads! Join Bryan Sirois for a live zoom chat. Bryan has been homeschooling for the past 6 years and is now enjoying his pandemic life with a nerf gun in 1 hand, and a D20 in the other. He spends his days answering endless questions from his 7yo son, while his wife is happily off to work. Share dad jokes, grilling techniques, and ways to avoid stepping on legos.
Please signup in advance, you will get a link a day or two before the meeting.
