Waxhaw Board Meeting – Recap



Waxhaw Board Meeting – Recap

6 of 8 F3 Waxhaw Board members met early Saturday morning to discuss how we can continue to move forward and invigorate Male Community Leadership in our area.

Reminder of WHY we do a lot this “stuff”:  The money We are doing it for other men (the “sad clowns”).  If you don’t have excitement to get guys involved and for helping your community, then time to step back and recharge the batteries.  If you DO have a passion for helping others and want to do more within F3 Waxhaw, you are “Freed to Lead” a new project, but also encouraged to reach out to one of the Board members to see where you can get plugged in.  Stop waiting for somebody to ask you.
