String concatenation problem

I'm a java guy doing my second Python 'hello world' application.    I'm doing this for GAE, but that probably isn't relevant to this problem.  

I'm trying to build an object and dump object information.  THe error I'm receiving is down annotated with the code.

1.  What's causing this error?  How should I be doing this?

2.  What's the proper (ideal) way to make an object dump information about itself.  I used to use toString() in java.
-------------Error----------------
    handler.get(*groups)
  File "/cygdrive/e/decm/main.py", line 24, in get
    self.response.out.write('Foo 2 Generated: ' + s)
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instancemethod' objects

  fooText = db.StringProperty(required=True, default="I am Foo")
  fooData = db.StringProperty(required=False, default="I am Foo Data")
  barRef = db.Reference(Bar, required=False)
 
  def dump():
    s="Text: " + self.fooText
    s+=", Data: " + self.fooData
    return s
------------end------------------
 
------------main.py-------------
from model import Foo
 
class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
  def get(self):
    foo1 = Foo(fooText="MainPage Foo")
    s=foo1.dump
    self.response.out.write('Foo 2 Generated: ' + s)
 
def main():
  application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)], debug=True)
  wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application)
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
