Info

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. 2 December 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!
