Mosey back to base


Recover, Recover

Moleskin:

Turncoat, Slingshot, Smokey, and AM-PM pushed hard today. YHC is proud of these Pax for not giving up. Smokey won the hand today at 17 and the dealer over-dealt his time, so no one completed the hand of a perfect 21. Therefore, it only seemed fitting for us all to do 10 more burpees to cover the difference before heading back to base. Warmarama will have to be set aside the next time YHC does a Burpee Blackjack hand. We did a total of 163 burpees and 153 lbc’s if fully completed with a lot of hill work in between.


COT/Namarana:

Prayer Requests:

-Mr Holland’s girlfriend lost her father. Keep the family in your prayers.

-Marriages/Relationships

-Pax who are caregiving for aging parents and health issues among them

-Unspokens in all F3 circles


Announcements:

-Tomorrow is a special day. It is the Marine Corps birthday. We will celebrate by honoring all military and raising awareness for veteran suicide by taking on #Chad1000x at GCC at 0515. All are welcome. Bring a ruck, vest or do it slick (no weight). 

-Flo-Kiwanis Club of LKN is looking for vendors for our Thanksgiving Dinner Project @D9Brewing 11/11.  $50 (basically the cost of sponsoring a family). Be a vendor, volunteer to play music, or give money to help feed over 400 families a Thanksgiving dinner!

-Begin thinking about donating to Operation Sweet Tooth’s Christmas present/toy drive when shopping.

-Christmas party on 12/1 at 7:30pm at 760 Craftworks in downtown Huntersville.

-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…
