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!!!
You too, can finish your Scramble challenge too! (edited)

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

Holiday Family Workout (HFW) – Official Date is now December 27th 2025 at 7am held at West Windsor Park. We would like to get a hard commit from anyone planning on attending so we can have enough food for the event. The food will be a “pot luck” and we would like to ask everyone to bring something. Please DM me so I can start to track in a spreadsheet which I will pin, The workouts will be broken up into stations and we are looking to have a Q from each AO. Please reach out to me and @Achilles Estavillo (SideOut/JabJab/Scorpion King) to commit to Q. This is an opportunity to show the strength and bonds of F3 Princeton. Let’s put on a memorable family-friendly event that represents who we are. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Please reach out to me with any questions / concerns. – Waston
