Slipstream - January 2019

It was a great year for the Maverick Region in 2018
and we have even more to look forward to in 2019!
To finish out 2018, we set a new record at
our Founders’ Day celebration, with almost 300
members in attendance! The new Park Place
Grapevine venue was impressive, and there was
a great historical display of Porsches from our
members. It was a lot of fun and the company was
great, but what I am proudest of is the donation
of $20,000 that the Maverick Region made to
the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House with funds
generated from the event. One hundred percent of
the proceeds from the online auction were donated,
and our members were also very generous with
their donations during registration and with the
Walmart gift cards that were brought to the event.
The Huffaker-Hughes Hope House is a home
for victims of domestic violence and has been a
Maverick Region-supported charity since 1993.
Founders’ Day, our last event of the year, was
a celebration of the club and its members, but I
could also feel a palpable excitement for where we
are heading in 2019.
We have a great year in store, as events are
getting planned that will make everyone want to
get out and see what all of the buzz is about.
You will see events within events where members
will have the chance to experience other aspects of
the club they may not be familiar with. We will
also be setting up more opportunities for 4-door
Porsches to experience a race track or even leave
the road behind and test the four-wheel drive
capabilities of Porsche SUVs.
Of course there will be social events and more
casual driving events such as Tours and Rallies
that will be better than ever. Our Tech Sessions
and Concours programs have also become very
popular over the last year and will have even more
events available to enjoy.
With all of this activity we need more volunteers
than ever! The best way to get involved with the club
and meet new exciting people that are as passionate
as you are is to volunteer. There is something
for everyone in the Maverick Region and it is
all fueled by volunteers. Please reach out to
volunteers@mavpca.org and we will find you a spot.
I am looking forward to a safe and fun year,
and am very honored to be the President of the
Maverick Region for 2019.

SPROCKETS: The Year Ahead
by David Robertson, Region President
MAVS OF THE MONTH:
Don Sebert and George Luxbacher,
Rally Co- Chairs
Have you been to one of
the Maverick Region Rallies?
A rally is a fun driving event
where teamwork is essential
to finding clues along a specific
route. Many times, neither
the route nor the clues are
exactly straightforward, and
that is where the teamwork
with a friend or significant
other in the passenger seat
comes into play.
Don and George work
hard to make our Rallies safe
and fun for members. These
events take a lot of planning
and driving the route again
and again, making sure that mileage is accurate
and that the clues make sense in most cases. They
always come up with great themes and fun but
challenging instructions. Thank you Don and
George for all of the time you put in to making
our Rally program such a success!
