Every Thursday 4:30pm @ Brackins Blues Club


Come join him for a Chick-elob (or something else if you have better taste than that)

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!!!!!


BoB, the contest is going to be over soon. We still need more guests and new members! Invite new guests and follow up with old ones. Let's show them why they should join the best REO group out there!! (That would be us, the Forbes-rated #1 networking team in the universe and winner of the coveted 2019 Golden Pineapple).


*Please note: If you know someone who for some reason can't join our group - their category is taken, meeting time doesn't work, etc. - you can refer them to a different group, and that still counts!

Member Spotlight

 
This week's showcase was brought to you by the one and only Hoot Shields. We should all be even more afraid of him now that we know he is skilled with a tomahawk!! Neither of my grandpa's taught me anything that cool. Another fun fact - he has 4 black belts (he didn't say what degrees) in taekwondo, judo, hapkido and krav maga. You are all familiar with his work with Smoky Mountain Self-Defense and the No More Victims Foundation. To date, 653 women and girls have completed the 1 day workshops for women and more than 30 scholarships have been given out to cover costs for anti-bullying/anti-abduction courses. Some of those scholarships are thanks to our group! Schedule a partner meeting with him to learn more, and remember - when in doubt restomp the groin!

BOB (Best of Blount) REO Guests...
