Serving Others During the Holiday Season

Our homeless outreach, led by Ripken, has raised over $1,000 for stocking stuffers and an event Dec. 11.

F3 credo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found them. We’ll be celebrating Christmas with 120 homeless men, giving them stockings filled with necessary items (socks, toothbrushes toothpaste, etc), on December 11th.

Setup is at 5:00. Party starts about 6:00. The address is 1204 15th St. West Bradenton, 34205. Next to the Salvation Army in Bradenton on US 41. We raised our goal but you can always add to the PayPal Pool.

Stocking Stuffer Party Before 11th

Our Christmas outreach initiative is just over a week out. In preparation, Recall's M and Recall will be hosting a stocking stuffing party next Saturday, December 8th, at 7PM. All are welcome, but we do request an RSVP, as we're planning to have some food and drinks for the attendees.

Visit the Mumble Chatter Facebook page where there is a post about it, and add your email address. He will be sending out details. Or email recall at AndrewJRiffee@gmail.com

Looking forward to a great evening and a successful outreach event on the 11th!

F3 Moving Company

Shout outs to the folks who posted when Lambeau moved into his new house for a moving party on Saturday.

That's what F3 is all about.

Meanwhile: Moving Company Grows

Six Pack's wife has some folks needing muscle for a move next Saturday, Dec. 8. It's a teaching couple, Kim and Greg, in Manatee County. Visit Mumble Chatter page for more info....

"Kim is a teacher/Student Support Specialist and Denny teaches private music lessons. Last year they were blessed and able to adopt 2 children out of the Foster Care System. This year they have been blessed with the opportunity to buy a larger home to better fit their new family. However they can’t afford the cost of professional movers. So if any of you could join in and help Kim and Denny move, even if it’s just for an hour or two, it would be greatly appreciated!"

Post a Picture If you Can

F3 Suncoast has one of the best backblast schedules ever. And what can make it even better is if you use a photo from the workout to illustrate it and post it on your own Instagram, Twitter or FB. We can then repost the photo. It helps to encourage new FNGs to see what we are all about. 

Potluck on December 16

Sniper is hosting a potluck party as his place on December 16. 6pm. Fire pit, hayrides and food. It will be potluck style so be sure to bring a dish and your own libations. This is a family event. RSVP to Drake on Facebook Mumble Chatter, or for details. Going to be great memorable get together.

Fartsack Corner: Baku the Japanese Dream Eater

A Japanese legend, a Baku is a dream-eater—a spirit animal that visits homes in the middle of the night and devours nightmares of people who are sleeping. It’s usually described as a tapir, sort of pig-shaped with a long snout.

Please continue to post early at our workouts. Not sure if Baku is a good legend or a scary one, but whatever it is, please show up and  you will avoid this ugly tapir animal in your bed.
