Moleskin:
Tumbleweed, Cousin Eddie, Moby Dick, Gnarly Goat, and Greyhound all got it done today and are impressive Blackjack playaz. We viewed abstract street art, talked about Goat’s Triathlon, and tried to remember what count/# we were on for each ladder. YHC was humbled to be in the prescence of such next level Pax. It’s always good spending time with F3 brothers in the gloom.
Circle of Trust/Namarama/Prayer/Praises/Announcements:
-Remember those in Western NC impacted by the storm and ongoing recovery efforts. Find ways to donate supplies, money, or your time.
-Remember Cousin Eddie as his mother, Tia, has terminal cancer that is spreading quickly.
-Remember Pax who have aging parents who are struggling with caregiving and/or health issues.
-Unspokens in all F3 circles.
-Marriages within F3.
-Volunteers needed for Western NC cleanup. We are likely going to have an F3 group leaving early to head up to Ashe County to help with cleanup efforts. If anyone is interested in going up with us this Saturday, please complete this survey as soon as possible. http://forms.office.com/r/3g6XpTNqDv. We can also take supplies if people have them. This is all coming together fast so more details are not available, but will share them ASAP.
-9 Lives is leading an adventure race on October 26 called “neck of the woods” look for info on Twitter and sign up here: https://t.co/j118U1pj77.
Reminder:
The F3 mission statement is “to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership”.
F3 5 Core Principles:
Workouts …
- Are free of charge
- Are open to all men
- Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
- Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
- End with a Circle of Trust
There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.
Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one.
Until next time…
