Please bring your coffee and take your dog for a walk -- for a good cause!

Northwest Voice announces NEW advice column!

To continue updating our paper and providing new and interesting content, The Voice will now offer a regular column that no other local paper can claim.  Instead of "Dear Abby," The Northwest Voice proudly announces a new advice column called "Hey, Dad."

Why a dad, you ask?  Well, as Dwayne Ardis will tell you, sometimes only a dad's advice will do.  Plus, as Ardis points out, there are other columns giving advice from a female's perspective, but advice from a man's point of view is harder to find.

You will find "Hey, Dad" in upcoming issues of The Northwest Voice, but you will also find him on the web under "blogs." 

 

Click HERE to read "Hey, Dad" or to ask Dad a question.

 

In order to contact Dad, please log on to The Northwest Voice and submit your questions directly to his blog (also note that your questions can remain anonymous by clicking on the button to post responses anonymously). 

 

Please enjoy this new feature, and please stop by and welcome Dad to our Northwest family!
