This week’s schedule & Qs
Primary Announcements
Leadership Update: Use Pre-Blasts & Hard Commits
Brothers –
Kindly use the F3 Nation Pre-Blast feature that was rolled out a few months ago. It helps F3 Nation track AO growth, attendance, and leadership development.
For our region, it also highlights upcoming Qs/VQs and makes completing the Backblast much easier for the Q—especially when PAX use the Hard Commit (HC) option.
Tip: You can even HC immediately after the workout, before the Q edits the Pre-Blast.
Thanks for helping keep our data accurate and making life easier for our Site Qs and Qs!
BE ALL IN!
SideOut
Beach Convergence Gratitude
A heartfelt thank you to all the Pax who were able to make today’s Beach Convergence a success!
To everyone who brought non-perishable food donations for the 3rd F food drive, helped set up and prepare fellowship, and stepped up to Q or support behind the scenes—thank you. Your willingness to serve, lead, and give back is what makes F3 more than just a workout.
Grateful for each one of you.
