Great job today gentleman. All Pax did great during Mary between the round of ‘Mericanados. FNG, James joined us today who was invited while at the polls by both Hippie and Gambini (yes, they also EH while trying to get votes). James did great today for his first post! It’s always great to start the week off right with F3 brothers.

-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…
