Primary Announcements
State of the F3 Nation Replay
If you missed the F3 State of the Nation recording last night, it’s worth a listen on Facebook, YouTube, or X.
Lots of information on how F3 is becoming a leader and making men leaders.
Be proud to be part of F3 Princeton.
Our brother Huck L Berry gave a shout-out to our region and recognized Dos, PhotoFinish – Q at 83yo, and Superfly – VQ/Toastmaster.
It’s a great reminder that the impact of our HIM extends well beyond our region.

Camping Trip Planning – August 22/23
Franchise, thanks for stepping up to take the lead on this F3 Princeton camping event.
If you’re even thinking about coming, please hard commit early.
Getting headcount now will help reserve the right amount of space and make planning much easier.
Please let Franchise know if you’re willing to help plan and organize the event.
SideOut
At this point, only 2 Pax (4-5 kids) have signed up and shown interest on this camping event.
We’d really like to get more hard commits to make it a stronger event.
If you’re on the fence, comment either way as soon as you can.
Having an accurate headcount will help decide on campsite size and finalize the plans.

Don’t let the opportunity pass by. Get out, support another site, meet more brothers, and finish scrambling strong.
Let’s end the challenge with a strong showing across the region.
