Workout: Monday Monday
No FNG’s so right into Mission and Principles:
F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission – Plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it must:
Be free of charge
Be open to all men
Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
End with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him.

Sharing of the six – Doubtfire – Working out along (or with one other person) is not as impactful as working out with a group. Five year anniversary is coming up. Got his name because his wife travels for work and he gets to be home with his two boys. And he also makes an impact by working with kids in the AW district.
Announcements: Norm Schutt Memorial Raffle is open. Proceeds to benefit St James Lutheran Church. Black Swamp 5 year anniversary gear order is open. Woodstock is Q’ing Wed at FoD. Support him. Whitehouse 3rd F study will cover Freed to Lead after the Romans study. Looking at Mid April. May also have a virtual option.
Ball of Man with Prayer – Prayers for Stalkers mother and her living situation. Prayers for Astro and his job search. Prayers for my mom Jan as she transitions into a new stage of life.
