Founders’ Day Toy Drive We couldn’t have started out with a more beautiful morning for our annual toy drive. I can’t stress enough that the weather was phenomenal for December. This made it perfect for driving with our tops off and windows down. The drive was full of colors as we wound and twisted our way north through beautiful trees celebrating the fall colors we have here in North Texas. With all the lights and traffic, some of the cars were split up, but all tried to stay together. It wasn’t uncommon in our group to see a handmade teddy bear riding with his head out a side window saying “hi” to other cars. We also had a giant stuffed puppy dog that kept popping up through a sunroof saying “hi” to passersby. It was a very fun and spirited drive. Our Maverick Region group donated $650 in assorted gift cards (plus four gift cards with no amount written on them; we’ve not yet had time to look them up on the various store websites) as well as approximately 1,000 toys. The toys, stuffed animals, coats, batteries, diapers, sporting goods, and other items filled approximately half of a 12-foot enclosed trailer. It was a very successful year! To all that joined in, and all of our club, we are so grateful for continuing to support our Christmas. – Ginger Heuerman Above:Jim Hirsch having a friendly exchange with the Plano Police department, the Toy Drive gets ready to roll out to Plano. photos by Bob Molyneaux and Michael Durovick Founders’ Day 2018: Board Election and Shoffit Award Presentation by Carey Spreen, Region Secretary photos by Wyatt Ramsey As stipulated in the Maverick Region Bylaws (http:// mav.pca.org/about/bylaws.asp), Article IX, the election of the 2019 Region officers took place at our annual Founders’ Day celebration on December 1, 2018. All four 2018 officers agreed to run for office in 2019, and all four were re-elected, as follows: • President: David Robertson • Vice President: Jim Falgout • Treasurer: Deborah Fike • Secretary: Carey Spreen The Board appreciates your participation in the voting process, and looks forward to serving you, the Maverick Region, and the Porsche Club of America in 2019! We also hope that you can take part in some of our wide-ranging events this year! Also, you probably know that our long-standing annual award acknowledging outstanding contributions to Maverick Region, known as the Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award (http://mav.pca.org/about/awards/ selcer.asp), was retired in 2017 and replaced by the James Shoffit Maverick of the Year award. This award is presented by the current Region President to the person or persons whose participation made a significant positive difference to the Region in the past year. Region President David Robertson read the list of recipients from 1976 (Charlie Davis) through 2016 (John Hamilton) to remind us of the history of this award and acknowledge those recipients, many of whom were present at the evening’s celebration. This year, David presented this award to someone who has spent a lot of time and made some great strides in improving the Region’s social events: none other than our Social Chair, Debi Kruder. Congratulations, Debi, for your continued efforts in bringing new ideas and concepts to our ever-growing social activities!

The only information my husband (the Porsche enthusiast) gave me was to wear a nice dress. I was quite anxious pulling up to the event, mostly because my husband had lied to me, and no other woman was wearing a dress! So after downing a little liquid courage and finding another “wife” friend who had been coaxed into wearing a dress, I relaxed some. And I had a fantastic time! Every person in attendance, regardless of age and gender, was very welcoming, interesting, and really down to earth. The event itself was well organized. Between the amazing location, cars on display, the photo slideshow, delicious food, and the amazing company, I had a wonderful time. I do feel the Porsche fans in this club are really what make it such an amazing group to be part of and enjoy. I am excited to attend future events with PCA (not wearing a dress)! P.S. - Apologies that my husband totally cut into the food line; he needed me to soak up some of the alcohol! See y’all next time (if he lets me come after this)! – Nindi Gill 15
