MOLESKINE:

It’s always a good time at Sir Ellington, even when YHC doesn’t quite remember the lay of the land and all that crazy Shire lingo (“Which loop?” “THE LOOP.”). Glad to have Parks and Rec passing through from F3 Naperville. An F3er since September, he and YHC had a good chat about how much F3 has filled a void he didn’t know existed and how he has since been able to give it away to others in life, strangers and friends alike. Just remember, men: sometimes it’s not about showing up because we need it. It’s showing up because it might just be the day that there’s somebody else out there that needs us.

BULLHORN:

  • Lifting up the Newells, Carter, and Black Lung’s M’s aunt in prayer.
  • Wed 3/27, Mental Health Day at all your Wednesday AOs. Qs will end about 5 minutes early to allow for an extended COT. The purpose of this will be for folks to discuss depression and suicide awareness. Please know that if this is something you deal with, there are guys in this group that would love nothing more than to listen and step into the struggle with you.
  • Fri 3/29, 12th Man Leadership Lunch with retired US Army Ranger, John Belman.  11:30 at Richland Country Club. Link to RSVP. See more details on the Slack #leadership channel or contact Bagger Vance.
