Hey Princeton Pax!!! I just saw your announcement about The Scrambled Egg-cellent Challenge in your weekly newsletter—now that’s egg-straordinary news! I’m truly honored and shell-shocked with egg-citement.
In fact, I’ve got some eggs-tra special breaking news of my own to crack open. Omelet you in on it—I’ve been hatching a plan to shell out 50 downrange posts before the year ends. I’ve only got 15 left, and those will now include all 8 Princeton AOs.
So to your Pax, I say: “Catch me if you can—because I’m on a roll!” (Or should I say… an egg roll?) SYITPG!!!
Scrambled
Prize patch for finishers! This will be the reward patch for PAX who attend all 9 AOs.
Book Club is Back!
Dear PAX, We are bringing back to you the Bookclub. Where good inspirational books are recommended for reading and discussion is done on a few chapters of the book. One of our F3 Jacksonville PAX Mervin ( Ex NFL player) wrote The Chair Leader. I talked about this in the COT at the Rising. I know this is a restart of our Book club. Winter is coming and book reading OYO and then talking about it is a great experience. Please order the Chair Leader ASAP so we can start the book club soon. Thanks
