Last Thursday, Microsoft released a new ad promoting their Office 360 product. In that ad, they chose to spotlight an example of a stay-at-home who utilizes their product to support her school volunteer activities. The mom that they chose was our very own Susan Driever, a Top Dog Coordinator in Misouri City, Texas. Susan, her family and her school did an AMAZING job of representing the Watch D.O.G.S. program!
