Slipstream - June 2020

Our response to COVID-19
A note from our Maverick Region President, Bill Kruder
Fellow Mavericks,
The Maverick Executive Board has worked closely
with PCA National along with local and national news
to monitor the COVID-19 situation.
As I hope you have seen in past weeks in all things we
do, first and foremost is the health and well being of our
members and their families, volunteers, and sponsors.
In this effort to Drive Friendships Safely we had to cancel
or postpone many events through the month of May.
This being said I am happy to say starting with June
we will begin to schedule our efforts once again, keeping
in mind things may look or feel different as we navigate
this “new” normal. For example, our June Mavs &
Mochas is scheduled with socially distanced cars,
every other spot. More outdoor events will occur and
other previously indoor events may be virtual. We will
continue to navigate the right blend as we go forward.
Again, I would like to emphasis feeling safe is what
is most important. Not everyone is ready to move at
the same pace so as you rejoin with other club members
be respectful with social distancing, wearing a mask is
suggested, and simply be sensitive to the opinions and
needs of others.
We will continue to update you as new details emerge.
Please check mav.pca.org for updates on our events.
Driving Friendships Safely,
William Kruder
President

MAV OF THE MONTH:
Jimmy Gallegos
JimmyG is coming up on his sixth year as a PCA member. He has always been
a friendly face helping out at a lot of club events. You’ll always see him greeting
fellow Mavs with a handshake, fist-bump, or high-five. JimmyG knows the hard work
involved making our events such a success. He is a big part of those successes.
I knew I had big shoes to fill when I took over the Volunteer Chair from him two
years ago. Just because he was no longer the chairperson didn’t stop him from always
lending a hand when needed. Many of you have stopped by the Mavs & Mocha tent
to see what goodies are displayed on the table or to grab a donut and coffee. Well, I
want you to know that tent doesn’t set itself up. Jimmy has been the club’s point person
for picking up the support Macan from Park Place Porsche Dallas each month, loading
up the tent and table, and getting it to our locations bright and early each month.
In coordination with Mavs & Mochas, JimmyG has been the front man for our
club’s quarterly Food Drive for the North Texas Food Banks. JimmyG makes sure we
have the boxes to load up the donated dry food and canned goods and delivers them
to the food bank. If that doesn’t already sound like a lot, JimmyG recently stepped
into the Charity Chair position to deal with all of the charitable organizations that
our club partners with. These are some of the greatest examples of how our club stays
Fueled By Volunteers. Please join me in Congratulating JimmyG as our Maverick of
the Month.
