Club 345: Cheers to the 2 PAX this week that posted every day and twice on Saturday! Caddie (Justin Brett Miller) earned his first (of many) 345s and Steinbrenner (Chris Armstrong) earned another stripe for his decorated CMU.

Club 345 Streak: The current 345 streak sits at 5!! Which PAX will step up this week to extend the streak another week?

The latest Grow Ruck Training Event (GTE-36 Gateway) completed on Sunday, April 30th. Cheers to two F3 Memphis HIMs for stepping up and shining during the event; Evan All Mighty (Noah Guess) and TryCycle (Terry Brown)!!!

Highlights for This Week:

  • Sophomore Q Alert!!!! Rudy (Kelly O’Leary) didn’t even need a full week to turn around and take lead with his 2nd Q. Join this HIM tomorrow at AO-Morg as he leads what’s sure to be a great beatdown.
  • The F3 Memphis in May Challenge has been announced details below from our 1stF Q Average Joe (Jimmy Madeksho).
  • The Annual F3 Memphis Crawfish Boil has a date (June 3rd), a location (locHTe’s house), and a planning committee ready to go. Details below from our 2ndF Q, Scarecrow (JT Pitner).
  • Two HIMs, Evan All Mighty & TryCycle, joined their national peers in GTE-36 for a motivational weekend.

F3 MEMPHIS

From the Desk of our Nantan, Turkey Leg:

  • Across The Nation – May challenge is back: http://f3cleveland.com/f3maychallenge/ and https://f3cleveland.com/f3-may-challenge-points-rules-and-faqs/
    • So far we have 12 teams signed up representing F3 Memphis.
  • I submitted Memphis to host GrowRuck in 2024. Dates/Details/FINAL approval TBD If you are interested in being part of that leadership team please let me know or hit the :school_satchel:
  • Tentpole will be rolling out some “initiatives” etc – May time frame – stay tuned. Mission is simple – plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. This will be POD based as we communicate it.
  • I’m still offering a direct Nan’tan (or regional manager vibe as Hobby Lobby (Hater of CMUs) would say) challenge to hit 100 PAX on a single date (or more) in May. I have the punishment in mind if we hit it.

From the Desk of our 2ndF Q, Scarecrow:

The annual F3 Memphis Crawfish Boil is on the books. Make plans to join your fellow PAX at the home of locHTe (Harris Todd) on June 3rd. Time TBD. Now that we have the location, an elite team of HIMs has been assembled to coordinate the event. Look for more fine grained details to come soon as the planning committee finalizes the plans.

The East Memphis crew is getting the Spring calendar full for a number of 2ndF gatherings:

June 10th– Evan All Mighty (Noah Guess) will be hosting a family shindig from 6 pm – 8:30pm and food will be provided. Just bring your family and some drinks

3rd F: Faith

From the Desk of our 3rdF Q, Psalty:

See a PAX making an impact in his community? DM Psalty (Andrew Woods) with your nomination for the next monthly HIM Highlight.

Q Source Weekly Weinke

Get Right – the first step of personal alignment – a Leader takes the Daily Red Pill – his commitment to accelerate his fitness, fellowship and faith.

Whetstone – vertical relationship between men. The unsharpened man is dull and lethargic, in-effective as a leader, and ill-prepared for the obstacles he will face.

The HIM acts as a whetstone to the younger man’s Blade, sharpening him even while he himself is being sharpened, helping him into proper alignment.

F3 Memphis is filled with High Impact Men. Take deliberatude and ask one to walk with you in this season of life – the benefits go both ways!
