THE THANG
Time for some baseball movie trivia! Here is your trivia game format: for each movie there will be 3 questions. Pax will plank while we wait for final answer from pax.
– Question #1: Pax guess what year movie came out. Then do merkins and plank jacks for the numbers added up (2015 means 2+0+1+5= 8 merkins and 8 plank jacks). Add to the number of reps by number of years pax are off from the actual year movie came out.
– Question #2: Crunchy frog time! Right answer = 10, wrong answer = 20, and I don’t know = 15.
– Question #3: Superman pull ups! Right answer = 10, wrong = 20 and I don’t know = 15.

COT:
Great work everybody! Enjoyed having Cool Breeze with us and love seeing the positive impact of F3 spread to other parts of the country.

Finished up with a quote from Tommy Lasorda: “There are three types of baseball players: those who wonder what will happen, those who watch it happen, and those who make it happen”. While the quote is about baseball, it applies to us as leaders. We need to be the ones to make it happen and it requires us to listen first and be men of action to help improve our communities.
