Maverick Founder’s Day 2000 by Carey Spreen 14 Every year in November, Maverick Region celebrates the founding of PCA's Region in North Texas, referred to, as you might have guessed, as Founder's Day. This year's event took place on November 11 at the Eastern Hills Country Club in Garland. Maverick member Jerry DeFeo has some “insider connections” with Eastern Hills, and was instrumental in getting the feast set up for us. And what a feast it was. There were three choices of entree, plus lots of veggies and side dishes to choose from; enough so that, even after going back for seconds, we couldn't even finish it off! Dessert was still waiting for those who had left room for it. Founder's Day is one of the few events held during the year when we get a chance to dress up, and you can see what people's hair looks like BEFORE they put on a helmet. Tuxedos and evening dresses, although not required, brought a touch of elegance to the evening. A traditional part of Founder's Day is that the year-end trophies and awards are given by the Event Chairpersons. In addition to the driving event trophies, awarded by Alan Lage (Time Trial chair) and Fran Ussery (Autocross goddess), special recognition was given to Lanean Hughes, who, if you don't know by now, received the Porsche Club of America's coveted Enthusiast of the Year award. Fran presented Lanean with a gift certificate to a spa, where she can pamper herself if her enthusiasm runs low (although there is no evidence that this is ever going to happen!). It was also noted that there have only been a handful of women that have been tapped for Enthusiast of the Year; most recipients of the national award are men. However, it was uniquely fitting that Fran presented Lanean with her gift, since Fran was a previous recipient of the honor. Outgoing President Charlie Davis also announced his choice for the Richard Selcer award. As he counted the achievements of this year's recipient, it became obvious whom his choice was: Slipstream editor Wendy Shoffit, who, among other highlights, won 2nd place in class in the Parade Newsletter competition last summer! Wendy is most deserving of the award - congratulations! There were also door prizes galore (no one, repeat, no one left empty handed) in addition to a silent auction, the proceeds from which went to the Hope Shelter. Many thanks to the donors of the door prizes and auction items! Finally, the election results were tallied (nope, no recounts were requested and no higher courts had to become involved) and the 2001 Executive Board was announced. We hope that it comes as no surprise (since all but the Treasurer candidates ran unopposed) that James Shoffit was elected President, Mimi and Carey Spreen are repeating as Co-Vice Presidents, Andy Mears will be our Secretary, and Bob Knight will return after a long absence as Treasurer, defeating Bob Benson for the spot. If you haven't made it to a Founder's Day, make a point to come to the next one--you won't be sorry! 2001 Maverick Board Members President James Shoffit,Vice Presidents Mimi and Carey Spreen, and Treasurer Bob Knight (not pictured Secretary Andy Mears).
