MOLESKIN
YHC is very humble to be a part of such a great group of men! As I listened to the PAX at our post I was so proud to be a part of it!  Amazing support for all PAX.  Putting ourselves 3rd is something Iron Valley knows.  YHC has become a little bit of a mumble chatterer so to receive some today was fun too.  Next time, I will slow some of those exercises down for those PAX less experienced with hip thrusting.  Penn-Seagal would be ashamed of the effort put in on the pickle pounders!?!?  All though I did hear an uhhhhhh at the end or it just may have been Chunk spilling his Merlot?  Again, I am very humble and thankful for all those who shook of complacence to see what I had to offer this morning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
PAX were reminded to continue to EH friends, Co-workers, Neighbors, Etc.  Whether it be in Erwin, JC and now Kingsport, share our core values.  Help grow the male leadership!
