Founders Day 2002<br />
by Lisa Steele<br />
This year’s event took place at Southfork Ranch on<br />
November 9th. It was simply a Spectacular evening! Eric<br />
and Karen Erz made arrangements for everyone to tour the<br />
famous Southfork Mansion. Although the “mansion” was beautiful,<br />
my little girls dreams of this place were shattered when I saw the<br />
actual size and when I was told that most of the taping was done<br />
in studios…that’s Hollywood I guess.<br />
...Thank you James and Wendy Shoffit -<br />
you’re a great team!<br />
We had a wonderfully unique invocation this year given<br />
by Erika Nannis. I’m sure it is very difficult to come up<br />
with something new each year and she always seems to manage<br />
it beautifully. The entertainment of the evening was quite a<br />
surprise. We were treated with several dance numbers from the<br />
girls of the Dance Xpress Jazz Company…I wish my body could<br />
move like that.<br />
I would like to take a moment to recognize what a truly<br />
awesome job James has done as the Maverick Region President<br />
for the past 2 years. And I know that Wendy shared a lot (if not<br />
all) of the presidential duties. BOTH of them gave countless<br />
hours of their time and I believe that their contributions to the<br />
club have made some much needed changes and have continued<br />
to make it a wonderful club to be a part of. Thank you James<br />
and Wendy Shoffit – you’re a great team!<br />
As part of the Founder’s Day tradition, the driving awards<br />
and trophies are a fun part of the evening. These were<br />
presented by time trials chair Bill Dugan and autocross chair<br />
Cody Sears. The awards are always very creative but I must<br />
say that Kevin Hardison out did himself this year with the<br />
outstanding montage posters he created with pictures he took<br />
throughout the season.<br />
The most memorable part of the night for me was receiving<br />
the Gregg Murrell Driving Enthusiast Award. It was a total<br />
shock! The best part was getting the opportunity to talk with<br />
Gregg’s parents, Ron and Jan. They shared a lovely photo album<br />
with me that had pictures of Gregg that helped me see what a<br />
great person he was. I feel so proud to have this award in honor<br />
of his name.<br />
This is one of my favorite events of the season because you<br />
get to see everyone in their best duds and the food is always<br />
fabulous…not to mention that you get to be in the company of<br />
some pretty GREAT people!<br />
