Join Restita and Bob on Sunday April 24th at 6:00 pm Pacific Time, as they discuss "Personal relationships in the Dojo".   Call us at (347) 677-0699 to join the conversation and share your thoughts. We open the phone lines at approximately 6:30 pm, after our first segment. The Dojo is a lifestyle venue for many, and because of that, developing a relationship with others is part of the lifestyle.
