Shifting Gears: Volunteers are our Lifeblood! By Jim Falgout, Region President As I sit here composing this article I am looking at the beautiful weather. Hard to believe it is February. Of course, by the time you read this the weather could be totally different -- we are in North Texas after all. Anyway, this weather is very conducive to driving your Porsche. Soon we will have several opportunities for just that. First gear: Our first Drivers’ Education weekend is scheduled for February 27-28 and our first Autocross on February 28. Both will have been successfully completed by the time you read this. In March there is an Autocross Novice School followed by another Autocross at Mineral Wells as well as a Sunday Drive to Mitas Hill Winery. We do not have a Drivers’ Education in March because in years past there were several conflicts, such as spring break, but there will be several club-sponsored events coming up in April and May. Just check the website or the calendar in this Slipstream. Second gear: I want to mention a couple of events that are coming up later: All British and European Car Day, and a Club Race and Solo Drivers’ Education at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin. The All British and European Car Day folks have invited us to attend, and will provide a separate class and parking for Porsches. It will be held on Sunday, May 1 at White Rock Lake. The Club Race and DE at COTA is a joint effort of your club, the Hill Country Region and the Lone Star Region. If you want to participate and are qualified as a Solo driver, registration will open on March 21. If you cannot enter, but would like to either be a spectator or a volunteer, it would be a great opportunity to see this very nice track. The event at COTA is May 6, 7, and 8. Third gear: your club includes over 2,500 others that appreciate and own a Porsche in the North Texas area. We were in the top five clubs in the country for growth in 2015. That speaks volumes about your club. It means we have something that many people want. As you have heard me say many times, it is only possible because of the many volunteers. Here it comes….. Fourth gear: YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU . . . volunteer! You will be glad you did. As I have mentioned previously, we now have a Volunteer Chairman, Jim Gallegos. Just contact him at volunteers@ mavpca.org and he can assist you with getting the most out of your membership by helping your club to continue to be the organization many enjoy. SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 Mavs of the Month Speaking of volunteers and Jim Gallegos, Jim and his wife Phyllis have both gotten very involved with the Maverick Region. Phyllis is co-chairperson of social events and was instrumental in the All Member Party being the success it was. It is really nice to see a couple being involved in the same organization. So this month Jim and Phyllis Gallegos are the Mavs of the Month. I hope they both inspire other couples to get involved. “This weather is very conducive to driving your Porsche.
