Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon by Cheri Keehn and Mark Gluck As is always the case, February’s Happy Hour was a great success! It was a very nerve wracking event for myself this time. Not only was Ben going to be unavoidably absent at this Happy Hour, but it was expected for me to “take the reins,” so to speak, and stand in for Ben along with Dennis and Tinker. Fortunately Dennis, Tink and Lanean were wonderful in helping me to welcome the New Members. So many members are now becoming regulars at the Happy Hours. It’s fantastic to see the number of members coming to the events increasing each month. I have made some wonderful friends since these Happy Hours have started. I’ve been to a few events within the Maverick Region, all of which have been fun and educational, but the focus is other things during these events. I think the monthly Happy Hours give me the chance to truly get to know the new members, and become closer to the members I have already met. The opportunity to sit down, have a drink, and have a meal with old and new members make it easier to learn about something other than just when the next DE will be, or what make or model of Porsche someone just purchased. Many thanks to Nuevo Leon! Once again they have managed to make February’s Happy Hour one of our best. The service was impeccable and the food (as usual) managed to bring to Dallas a taste of “Old-world Spain” with a flair for the art of presentation. The appetizers were fantastic. Louis and his staff bring out their best for Maverick Region and never once become flustered with a request from our group, no matter how unusual. We hope to have many more nights with Nuevo Leon in the future. Cheri Keehn We came, we saw... we came back for a repeat engagement! Nuevo Leon was such a hit last fall that we decided to return for our February Happy Hour. Our virtually private room came complete with picture windows on two sides, displaying Porsches of all types and vintage (supplied by us!). Any time the conversation needed a starter we simply looked outside for lots of material - or just found Tinker, who was buzzing around everywhere with Dennis' camera. The food was great, of course, and the Margaritas superb - right up until we closed the place! Another feature of these evenings is that we often are able to arrange for reserved parking, which takes the worry out of what to do with your prized car when going out for dinner. A reason for coming out that's worth considering on its own, let alone the great people you get to meet. Mark Gluck Having an after-dinner chat. Jimmy Carter and Paul Abbott Marla and Ellis Cokes 14
Hope Happenings by Lanean Hughes DE Donations Well-Appreciated - The Hope Charity will receive the $225 that was collected from the parade laps at the MotorSport Ranch Driver’s Education event. Thanks to all of you who participated! Girl Scout Cookies Were A Hit! - Diane Johnson and her girl scout troop presented the Hope Shelter with 70 boxes of Girl Scout cookies on Sunday, March 11th. It was a great day and we had lots of donations and boxes of cookies to deliver. Neither rain nor more rain kept Wendy, five Girl Scouts with two leaders, and me from driving to Mineral Wells! Some of the staff members and clients were on hand for the presentation. Your Donations Are Needed - Remember, the shelter is always in need of adult and children clothing, as well as any household items you might have. As you are doing the “spring cleaning”, or your last “fall cleaning,” please remember the folks at Hope. If you have not made a trip to the shelter, please try to work it into your schedule. They love to see the Porsche Club and are so appreciative of all we do for them. Keep Hoping!!! The Girl Scouts with troop leader Diane Johnson, and Lanean. Lined up for the parade charity lap at the DE at MSR. Two very special shelter residents. 15
