Introduction
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since that first day ITG…wondering why I was in a parking lot at 5:00 AM on a cold Monday morning and why everyone was carrying a cinder block and had weird names! Join YHC tomorrow as we reminisce together…Bring your coupon, shoes for pavement and a jump rope if you have it.We’ll meet in the usual location.
Arrived at the site at 5:00. Checked out the site for ice. Only a small adjustment to the plan was needed due to the ice.
Welcomed the PAX, recited the disclaimer and 5 core principles. Off we go!

Circle of Trust
When I came to my first post 2 years ago, I couldn’t even carry my coupon back to the circle I was so exhausted, but I came back the next day. But, while we all join for the 1st F, when I explain to others what F3 is, I spend more time talking about the impact we make with through the 3rd F and the friendships we make through the 2nd F. The impact we make was reinforced just last night when I was on a happy hour zoom with my team at work. My boss asked if I was still part of F3, naturally I was wearing an F3 shirt at the time and showed it on the camera. My boss then proceeded to tell a story about how she was helping with an event at Lisle Community Park (i.e. Iron Lion) in late summer or early fall 2019 and some guys from F3 helped with the setup and take down. Three years later, she remembered that F3 helped with an event setup. This is the impact we make every day in our communities!
Naked Man Moleskin
Thanks to Mellencamp for having my 6 and all the PAX that came out to celebrate my 2-year manniversary. Thanks also to Nacho Libre for EHing me 2 years ago and to Baby Hands for carrying my coupon back to the circle on my FNG day after a House Arrest beatdown. And thanks to all the PAX who hold me accountable to get better every day.
