Moleskin:

What a tremendous morning in Oak Park. Great to see so many men out pushing themselves, and everyone staying around for some coffee, cookies, and chatter. We all have so much to be thankful for and the growth of F3 Oak Park in 2021 has been outstanding. Cheers to all the men who have given their time to lead a portion of this group.
