Shifting Gears: Fall Activities are Around the Corner By David Robertson, Region Vice President ctober has arrived, and with it comes many O opportunities within the club to drive your Porsche and meet fellow members. With the cooler weather comes competitive driving events like Autocross and Drivers’ Education, along with more leisurely driving events like our PCA Tour and a Rally. As always we have great social events, with lunches and even a Porsche Oktoberfest party this month (see the ad on page 23 for more info). If you have never attended a Gimmick Rally, you should try the one on Saturday, October 29. Even though it is a competitive event, the whole point of a Rally is just to have fun. You and your partner (a navigator is required!) will be given a set of landmarks to find, as in a scavenger hunt, and then off you go. Medals are given for the winners and a medal is even given for last place! After the Rally, everyone gets together for great food and drink and there will be lots of colorful stories from the day. The first weekend in November is the event formerly known as Founders’ Day, which we now call the Annual Celebration. This is going to be a great event this year at the NYLO hotel so you do not want to miss it. During the Annual Celebration we will have our Silent Auction, with all proceeds going to the Hope House, which is the main Maverick Region charity, so bid early and often. I always pick up some great items from this auction; these items are donated from the local Porsche dealerships and Porsche repair shops, as well as non- Porsche related items from other local businesses and individual club members. There really is something for everyone. We always need auction items, and keep in mind that all proceeds go to charity, so if you would like to donate something, please send an email to social@ mavpca.org. At the Annual Celebration we will also have our Photo Contest which has become very popular. This year will be the third annual edition of the contest, and it grows bigger every year. All are welcome to participate. See the ad in this issue of Slipstream for more information, or email photocontest@mavpca.org. Submissions need to be in by Saturday, October 15, so don’t delay! The 2017 Maverick Region Officers Ballot is on page 11 of this issue. Please cast your vote! SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 October is a great month to get out and about, and I am sure to see many of you with convertible tops downand sunroofs open at one of our events, so enjoy the great weather and the twisty roads here in North Texas. MAV OF THE MONTH Bill Kruder has been a longtime member of the Maverick Region but just recently started attending events and getting involved with the club. He has jumped in with both feet by writing a great monthly series in Slipstream, and recently hopped right into a vacancy for the Advertising Chair with great enthusiasm and lots of ideas. Bill has already added greatly to both of these roles. It is volunteers like Bill that make the Maverick Region PCA such a great organization. Thanks Bill for your contribution to our club!
