Moleskin:
Great job today gents. We all wished we had hair like Cubicle and Roadie. We also wish we could sprint like Moses. Welcome to FNG Travis! Soprano, Omega, and Airstream all got in a mild 10 miles and joined us when they returned.
Prayer Requests:
-Remember Sean who is homeless. Some Pax are taking donations for him. His biggest need is for showers and transportation. Greyhound is working with Sean, so please see him if you feel led to give.
-Remember Deep Dish who lost his Godfather, Uncle Eddie, last week. Also remember Eddie’s family.
-BagBoy-Had an employee, Estaban, who passed away. Please remember his family and friends during their loss.
-Marriages/Relationships.
-Pax who are caregiving for aging parents and health issues among them.
-Unspokens in all F3 circles.
Announcements:
-Flo-Kiwanis Club of LKN is looking for volunteers for the Kiwanis Thanksgiving Dinner Project on 11/20 to help feed families a Thanksgiving dinner! Look for Flo’s blasts on X. They are still in need of donations and currently short of their fundraising goal and groceries were a little more than estimated. Any amount donated would be greatly appreciated ($45 feeds one family). This helping about 2,000 people in LKN have a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner. Reach out to Flo at 704-907-1162 https://twitter.com/messages/media/1725496821689078175
-There will be a Black Friday convergence at north Meck park led by Firestone.
-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…

Great Q. Flipping the script and having all PAXs + FNG Q 1 exercise each. Impressive 👍. Kudos on the execution of that plan. Oh, and those suicides sux. Definitely going to feel those.
