Slipstream - July 2016

Shifting Gears: Maverick Region Summer Activities
By Jim Falgout, Region President
irst gear: June was an active month with
F
Autos in the Park, PCA Porsche Parade and
various social activities. Now July comes
and the activities are reduced, due to the
anticipated summer heat and various vacations. We will
not have a board meeting this month.
Second gear: Speaking of board meetings, the June
board meeting included a presentation by member Bill
Orr on some very interesting concepts for promoting
the Maverick Region at dealerships, as well as ideas
for a new logo. We will be soliciting your opinion on
a few alternatives for our logo. My point really is how
fortunate our club is to have a variety of talents to
contribute to the success of the Maverick Region.
Third gear: As I mentioned above, PCA Porsche
Parade was in June. The Maverick Region had a large
contingent attending and representing Zone 5. If you
did not go this year, try planning on going to one in the
future. You will be definitely enjoy it.
Fourth gear: This is a good time to reflect and
reevaluate. What club activities have you enjoyed? What
club activities would you like to participate in but have
not so far? Your club has a lot to offer.
Of course, I will always encourage you to ask yourself
what can you do to help your club provide these kinds
of experiences for others.
YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU . . .
volunteer! You will be glad you did. Just
contact Jim Gallegos at volunteers@
mavpca.org.
Fifth gear: In a previous issue I requested suggestions
for changes to our event in November known as
Founders’ Day (name subject to change). We really
want your input because we want it to be an event that
you would like to participate in and enjoy. So please
send any thoughts, no matter how minor, to either
social@mavpca.org or president@mavpca.org.

Sixth gear: MAV OF THE MONTH
It is great to have members who will help out where
ever they can. One of the most time consuming jobs is
editor of Slipstream. We have been fortunate to have a
series of excellent editors which has resulted in our
monthly newsletter receiving several awards. We have a
member who was editor of Slipstream, and after handing
over the reins to another volunteer, continues to assist
in the production of the magazine. As was said recently,
he just does not know how to say “no.” Your Mav of the
Month this month is Carey Spreen. Thanks Carey for
all that you do.
What can you do to help
your club provide these kinds
of experiences for others?
