February Meetups are here!

Initial 1:1 meetups have been set up and posted in Slack. See the following note from beater for details.

The goal is to grab coffee, a beer, lunch, or whatever works best for you both, and spend some time getting to know each other better. Whether you chat about life, work, fitness, or anything in between, it’s a great way to strengthen the brotherhood. No rules, except that it shouldn’t be at a regularly scheduled beatdown (but grabbing 1:1 coffee together afterwards counts!)

Rule #2: post a pic on 2nd F when you meet up – feel free to let us know something cool you learned about the other guy.

Looking forward to seeing you guys jump in!

If you aren’t on the list but wanted to be, let me know and I’ll get you paired up.

Save the date! F3 Princeton’s 6th Manniversary – 5/10

***Attention PAX:  in the interest of time, # of men available, spreading the word and planning, we made the call to have the 6 Year F3 Princeton Anniversary on May 10th, 2025.   I hope you ALL can make it.  That being said, these events take a lot to plan.   Looking for some H.I.M. to step up and help with the planning which will include a beatdown, breakfast and service event.  Message me or anyone on the SLT if you would like to be part of the planning for this EPIC event! (edited)
