Dr. John Woodall SPARK Presentation

Happy summer, if you are in town please join us this Thursday to meet and hear Dr. John Woodall. Dr. Woodall is from Newtown, Connecticut and will lend his perspective to what happened in his own community as well as his world-wide work on trying to get children engaged and connected to prevent future tragedies that seem to have become to much a part of our world. This is an incredible opportunity for our Southlake Community!

We hope to see you this Thursday night, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, on the third floor of Southlake Town Hall.
