ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ruck Events!
COT:We talked about the trust-based contract between a Q and the PAX and it’s similar between the PAX and F3… the “As long as” phrase. I will continue to follow you “As long as” that trust isn’t breached. F3 has a special formula, a secret sauce, and whatever it is, it works, so my approach is “Don’t try to fix it!” Maintain the strategy of growth, but make sure that the fundamental aspects remain unchanged (This is the Weasel Shaker in me coming out…); free of charge, open to all men, welcoming and encouraging, etc. etc. It has had a huge impact just like it is in my life, and in many others’ lives. Aye!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Men (especially young men) are struggling to find their purpose in our society and F3 is playing a role in helping with this. F3 doesn’t look for scapegoats, but accepts men where they are and provides a place to grow in a positive direction.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers were raised for the names of people who were suffering through lost loved ones or illness. Many of them neighbors.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
2nd F at UJs afterwards.
