I shared my 3 word motto. It’s about others.
I shared the story of Welles Crowther and the Red Bandana. A 9/11 story that is all about putting that motto into action. PAX were challenged to live 9/11 and each day following thinking about others first and looking for opportunities to serve.
We finished with some Scooter’s coffee and great fellowship. There is no group like F3!
