April has been designated as FNG/Kotter Month! We want to get as many men as possible to have the F3 experience. All of us have become better men because of F3 so we need to tell others about it. Make a list of 5 people that you will invite to F3 and start asking/telling them about it. Start now because we all know most Sad Clowns won’t come on the first invite. This will be a competition. Below are details of how it will work:
The competition will be between PODs. You may be thinking, “What is a POD?” A POD is group of AOs in a geographical region. PODs in F3 Memphis are: Collierville, Germantown, Midtown, East Memphis, and the Northern Kingdom (Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, & Arlington). The winning POD will get to host a convergence on Saturday, May 7 at one of their AO’s. Other POD’s will provide the food, drinks, etc. All PAX that were FNG’s will be recognized along with the PAX that EH’d the most FNGs in April.
Scoring system:
2 points will be awarded to PODs for every FNG brought during the month of April. Sponsoring PAX MUST post with FNG to get the point. 1 point will be awarded to POD for bringing back a Kotter — PAX that has not posted in the last 12 months. Half a point (0.5) will be awarded every time the FNG or Kotter posts during the month. Once FNG is named, sponsoring PAX does not need to show up to get these points.
How many FNGs and Kotters can we bring out in a month? 15? 50? 100? Start EH’ing now!
AO and Q Passport Challenge started all over for the new year! Post to all 24 F3 Memphis AOs to receive the AO Passport Patch. Step Up and Q all 24 F3 Memphis AOs to receive the Q Passport Patch!
