USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP — COLLIERVILLE!

The date is set! The location is secured!

Sergeant Les Bonnett will start USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP Collierville on July 1, 2008 at 0530!

Faith Lutheran Church, at the corner of Byhalia Road and White, is the location; this is just down the street from The Home Depot. The excitement of the staff at Faith Lutheran has been awesome!

You’ll be seeing Les leading a number of classes at the East Memphis location between now and the launch date in preparation for July 1!

Would you like to help?

Here’s how you can help in this new venture.

* Email me your advice to Les. What would you tell him to do in order to be successful? I’ll share your advice with him (with or without your name, your choice) so that he’ll know more about what YOU think he should do in order to take Collierville by storm!

* Tell your friends who live in Germantown or Collierville that USMC FITNESS BOOT CAMP IS COMING!

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW?

Richard Bourland has a connection to some folks trying to find a good home for their 13 month old black lab. ‘Huck” has a few health issues (knee problem). If you’re interested in Huck, let me know.

GROUP RUN ON SUNDAY!

This from Pam Jones and Lisa Park:
Lisa and I are running the Davies Plantation Ultimate 10K course on Sunday at 7am. (this isn’t the race, just a practice!) We’ll have already put water out for everyone at mile 2 and 4. It’s a slightly hilly course that runs through a shady neighborhood. We start at St Phillips Church, 9380 Davies Plantation Rd in Lakeland. Easy run!

Join us!

PAYING THE PIED PIPER

You know how much I enjoy getting your money! If you ask, “Tony, do I owe you money?” The answer is always “YES, YOU DO!”

When you pay with a check, may I ask you to please, please, please write the name of the person on the memo line and the month(s) you’re paying for. Some of you have a Sugar Daddy or a Sugar Momma, paying your fees — I’m cool with that — but if your name doesn’t appear on the check or on the memo line, then I don’t know who to credit.

Look in your check registry. If it’s been a while since you paid … well … you know what to do!

FIRE SURVIVOR’S THANK YOU!

My family and I would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for all that has been done to help us get through our misfortune. We were and are overwhelmed with the concern and help that friends and strangers alike have given. I would like to thank everyone for their generosity.

DR. PHIL IS COMING, DR. PHIL IS COMING!!

The Dr. Phil show is coming! OK, maybe not Dr. Phil himself (though he just MIGHT come too).

As many of you know, The Dr. Phil Show will be launching a new contest that is a cross between The Biggest Loser and The Amazing Race. They will start with 6 teams of two in Times Square in NYC and “race” across America, stopping in different cities to workout, run races, and be challenged until they reach their final destination and a winner is declared.

Memphis is one of the cities where the contestants will stop and be challenged. Your most humble servant, Sergeant Tony, has been asked to be the guy to challenge and abuse them in Memphis! Many of you offered up suggestions for a good “Memphis” venue and the best idea turns out to be Tom Lee Park suggestion!

The Dr. Phil Show will be here July 29, 30, and 31st. It’s possible that part of their back story for their Memphis challenge will include them filming some of US doing Boot Camp! You could be on national television yelling out MARINE CORPS!!! They may even conduct some interviews with some of you! Wouldn’t THAT be cool?

If all goes well, I’ll be on Oprah soon, making her do Swiss Army Knives! hahaha

Have a GREAT weekend everyone and don’t forget to get your ONE HOUR OF CONTINUOUS CARDIO!

To your continued good health and fitness!
