“Ho Ho Ho,” were the three little words on December 21,
2003, as several Maverick Santas left for Mineral Wells and the
Hope Shelter. Many thanks go out to the members who made the
“Santa Trip.” The smiling faces of about 10 children, moms, and
staff members made the trip so worthwhile. Let’s not forget about
the wonderful refreshments provided by the Hope Shelter Staff
and it’s Board Members.
Special thanks to Jean
Frick for bringing her
violin so we could sing
Hill talks to an admirer of his car
Christmas songs, Dave
Frick for taking pictures,
and Wendy Shoffit who
delivered toys in her
beautiful “white sleigh”,
Mark Gluck brought his
sons who made a little boy
especially happy when
they attached the training
wheels to his bike. Hill Bullock and son also brought and took the
time to talk to a 15-year old admirer of his car. Kevin Procaccino
delivered the paint for the shelter. Teri Davis, Clara Lewis and her
granddaughter Kristen (came to help with holiday cheer). A great
big thanks to the Maverick Region members for sharing and
caring by providing toys and cash. We gave the families and staff
of the Hope Shelter a memorable holiday!

P.S. The washer and dryer are absolutely beautiful, and
EVERYONE is invited to see them. Maverick Region can be proud
of their purchase, and a special thanks goes out to Candy Miller
& Family for providing them at a specially discounted price.
