Help Wanted: Movember Competition
As everyone should be aware, we are hosting a WOD for Movember competition this Saturday, November 21st. We would greatly appreciate help judging and managing equipment. If you’d like to help out, sign up here.
Soles4Souls
Attention anyone with a closet: Those shoes you no longer want are desperately needed to fight the human tragedy of global poverty. This holiday season, Forte will be collecting unwanted shoes for Soles4Souls, an international anti-poverty organization that monetizes used shoes and clothing to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts, including distribution of new shoes and clothing. Find out more about the organization here. Bring your unwanted shoes to Forte between November 21- December 13th. If you’d like to help offset the cost of shipping, they also welcome a $2 donation per pair (though this is not required).
Scheduling
After November 19th, we will discontinue the 5 AM class as we have not had the attendance to support it. Please also note we will be closed all day on Thanksgiving, November 26th.
Check-in for Charity Update
In October, CrossFit Forte had a total of 231 Facebook check ins. These check ins provided 46 women with breast and ovarian cancer risk assessments! Keep up your check ins! Every November check in helps provide a meal to Burmese refugees.
