Kicking Off 2021 – 3rd F Leadership Meeting

/in /QIC:

“FNGs”:  Not really FNGs but a call out to some new faces at the meeting – Dauber and Swanson joined us this morning

“Warm Up”:  We got started with a little 2021 retrospective – Kudos all around for a great year of 3rd F – Great to see all of the organic growth around living 3rd in South Wake.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/oH2KBq77eRuvNHzd6

The “Workout”:

  • Q-Source
    • We talked about if we would try to organize Q-Source in 2021 on the heels of the announcement from DawgPound that a group would soon kick-off a somewhat accelerated version of what was done a few years back.
    • We took stock of the success from the last pass on Q-Source
      • There were many sessions at different times at the last go-round.  The number of sessions and attendance seemed to fall off as time went on.
      • PAX didnt really love the jargon which seemed to become more prevelant as you got deeper into the content
      • Some groups wound up moving on from Q-Source into other materials and topics
    • Discussed the value of these discussions over the content on its own.
    • Segway into Shield Lock as perhaps an appropriate vehicle for Q-Source and/or other source materials
  • Shield Lock
    • Shield Lock challenge – when should we?  Targeting the summer, 2021
    • What is proximite?  Does Zoom count? – YHC and others seemed to agree that virtual meetings would be a great way to keep all PAX included.  Dauber gave an example of a member of his shield lock that would need to meet virtually.
    • 3rd F Leadership will be bringing the concept and the “challenge” of Shield Lock up at COT to get the PAX thinking about it again in prep for the Summer
    • Shredder will start looking for a panel to represent the Sheild Lock to PAX in a TED Talk.
  • Inclusion
    • We started the conversation in 2021 but never really brought it beyond this meeting
    • Greensboro mentioned for its great work around inclusion
    • SlideRule to reach out to Square of Greensboro to start a conversation
    • Pikachu to reach out to the Nantan of Greensboro as well
    • Potential for a TED Talk with one or more Greensboro PAX…  We’ll let them help drive us on the right way to approach here in South Wake.
  • Town of Holly Springs
    • Swanson was on hand to listen in and talk directly with us about 2021 efforts
    • Cupid and UTI will attend a meeting with town contractor for the Disc Golf course
    • Will seek to understand the working relationship and how best to schedule the work.
    • Leadership suggested 2hr shifts for an entire day on a weekend.  With the goal to wrap up the work quickly
  • Hope on the Homefront
    • Wiggly spoke to the challenges of organizing but optomistic about the opportunity to engage on this effort with Hope in 2021.
    • Also spoke to the awesome experience of getting to know those in need in Holly Springs.  Often retirees that have moved into a phase of life where they require a wheelchair.  Great pride in helping thse folks get access to their homes.
  • COT
    • Request to keep up the great work of filling COT with 3rd F announcements.

Mary:  We didn’t invite her…
