ANNOUNCEMENTS:

– Check out other spots at www.f3annapolis.com or f3near.me/nearby

COT:
– count-o-roma and name-o-roma
– PAX shared what F3 meant to them
– Here’s my share: F3 has been a place for me to get back in shape with encouragement from other men, meet others in the neighborhood and most importantly have a place where I can practice living from the heart. I grew up stiffing my emotions and it’s refreshing to have a place where I can practice learning to share my heart with other men. F3 has also been a leadership lab for me to practice my skill of leadership.

MOLESKIN:
– Honor to Pushkin for inviting some of his friends to give this a try.
– Thanks to the Annapolis PAX that came.
– Was great to be with you men this morning!
– Thank you Mr Clean for trusting us with part of your story. Hope you saw that you’re not alone.
– I am grateful of the constant reminder that I am not alone in my pain and trauma. Onward toward healing and maturity for all of us!
– The spot definitely has potential for an official AO one day.
