With Easter weekend among us, several pax were out of town but still four made it out of the fartsack for a good ole-fashioned beatdown. A little wet from an early morning shower but the temperature was just right.

COT:
-Each pax shared a little something about themselves that no one in the group knew. Some were sentimental while some were……..well not (pop tarts). And then some were reminders of why we do this thing called F3 and what it can mean to each of us if we commit! Just a little way to get to know the pax a little better we will start doing from time to time.
-Starkey Classic coming up and we should have business cards to hand out by then …….thanks No-Ski!
-Just as we were about to close out with a prayer, Five-Oh and Red Reaper showed up helping set up for Easter Egg Hunt festivities at LLR so they joined in. Prayers for all families and to remember the importance of Easter – He Is Risen!
*Approx. 348 Merkins today!!!
