Maverick Minutes by Michael Wingfield Ruf Auto Center Dallas hosted the January 2005 Maverick Region Board meeting on January 3, 2005. Thanks to Hans Hoffmann and Wayne Corley for staying late and putting up with 18 additional Mavericks as we brought in the New Year. For 2005, the region will hold the monthly board meeting on the first Monday of the month with two exceptions. The region will hold the July 2005, and September 2005 board meeting on the first Tuesday of the respective months. The January meeting had the following 20 members in attendance:Executive Council: Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board Members: Mike Brodigan, Chuck Machala, Bill Dawson, Lanean Hughes, Mike Holloway, Joe McGlohen, Bill Miller, Joel Nannis, Andy Miller, Dennis Chamberlain, Wendy Shoffit; Membership: Bob Knight, Noby Takahashi, Albert Sansores, Hans Hoffman, and Wayne Corley. Rocky Johnson: called the meeting to order at 6:55 PM, and began a “round table” format. Anyone present could present a report or issue to the Board for discussion. Mike Brodigan: Slipstream ads are current with the exception of one advertiser. He will contact the merchant one more time for payment before the end of the month. Otherwise, he may pull the ad from Slipstream. He has a waiting list of other advertisers should he have to pull the ad for non-payment. Bob Knight: Transfer of all Treasurer items complete to Jeff Atkins. The region completed and passed the IRS audit. The transfer of the region bank accounts from Bank of America to J.P. Morgan has almost completed. Outstanding checks prevent the closing of the Bank of America account. Once those checks clear, the region can close the account. Chuck Machala: AutoScope will open from 5-7:00 PM on 2/26 and 3/2 to tech cars in support of the AX schools. Bill Miller will set up AX tech with Mayo Performance. AX school registration will only appear online at the Maverick web site (http://www.pca.org/mav/). This year, the region will limit the number of attendees to the AX schools to 26 and 28 for the February and March events respectively. He would like to have a copy of the AX tech form available on the Maverick web site. Wendy Shoffit: On behalf of Teri Davis: Teri plans to investigate the possibility of a summer Round Up, possibly hosted in Granbury. The region can receive a National subsidy for holding the multi-event weekend. The board expresses interest in a ’05 Round Up, provided the event has economical accommodations. Joe McGlohen and Rocky Johnson suggest “economical “ means the maximum host location charge should not exceed $70 per day. Wendy Shoffit: On behalf of Jan Mayo: The region has approximately 60 garment bags left over from Parade ’04. Proposed dispositions of the bags include donating to Hope Shelter, selling at events, and selling through the Goodie Store. Per Lanean, Hope Shelter received 12 garment bags from Parade. The bags will appear at the New Members’ party for sale at $15 each (a bargain price!). All proceeds from the sales will go directly to the Hope Shelter. Wendy Shoffit: Her Girl Scout troop will sell cookies beginning Friday (1/7) this year to benefit Hope Shelter. Bill Dawson: February DE registration opens Thursday (1/6). He will finalize the contract this month with Motorsport Ranch for the four DE events in ’05. Lanean added that Ruf Auto Center would sponsor the February DE, and that Mr. Ruf himself will attend. Lanean Hughes: She has talked with Steve Boyd, the Maverick Region Webmaster, to get the ’05 information updated. Hope Shelter held a groundbreaking ceremony on December 19, 2004, for the new building. She will serve as Club Race chair again this year. Ben Witry Bank of Source Mortgage, will sponsor the New Members’ Party on 1/16. However, the region will still need to pay for the tables and chairs. She would like to step down from the Hospitality chair position. The person filling the Hospitality Chair vacancy will need to find locations for Founder’s Day and the Holiday party, as well as coordinate food for each event. Mark Gluck: Has received transfer of VP responsibilities from Noby. He will have insurance in place three weeks before events as necessary. Mike Holloway: Set the 18th of the month as the Slipstream deadline for article submission for publication in the following month. He has worked with Matt and Wendy to slate the regularly appearing articles. Requests that photo submissions have at least 300 dpi resolution and will buy a beer for anyone who reads his silly articles and admits to it. Joe McGlohen: Reminded the Board that at the December, 2004 meeting, the Board approved $800 dollars for the AX Committee to purchase radios. He located Motorola 7100 series radios for $75 per pair of radios, and invites the AX Committee to investigate the purchase of these radios. He will add a “Beer” flag to the standard flag set used for DE events, motivated by the Patti Mascone article appearing in the December 2004, issue of Panorama. Bill Miller: He needs payment from the Treasurer to secure the AX event dates and locations. Albert Sansores: He would like to see the region present more Tech Sessions. The Board directed him to contact Eric Erz, who has taken on the responsibility for Tech Sessions this year. Joel Nannis: He still has problems getting a membership list from National. Andy Miller: He has taken over Tours this year, and will submit Slipstream articles to Mike H. Dennis Chamberlain: Saltgrass Steak House will host the January Happy Hour. February location not yet set. He will create event ads for Slipstream this year, and needs event info. Reminds everyone that the Maverick web site now has a “Photo of the Week”, and he would like to encourage membership participation in submitting photos. Rocky Johnson: Reiterates that the 2005 Board will meet the first Monday of each month with two exceptions. The exceptions include July 2005, and September 2005, when the Board will meet on the first Tuesday of the respective months. The Jaguar Club has invited Maverick region to co-host a Concour's d'Elegance. Board unanimous consensus to not co-host the event. However, the region will notify the membership of the event and allow individual members to participate in the Jaguar hosted event. Park Place Porsche will host the next Board meeting on Monday, February 7, 2005. The January meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM. 8
Happy Hour at Spaghetti Warehouse Photo by Dennis Chamberlain by Dennis Chamberlain Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Monda Degan and Mike Lockas The December 16th happy hour at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Plano was sandwiched between the Maverick Region Holiday Party on December 12 and, of course, Christmas. Nevertheless, a determined group of twenty-eight Maverick partiers braved the Christmas traffic to venture out in the cold and the astonishing traffic. New members included Mark Ellen (2004 Boxster S), and Mary and Jim Caton (2002 Boxster). Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Jennifer Bush & Mark Hannah Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Francis Parachini Mark Ellen Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Chuck Machala For the February 17 happy hour we’ll be returning to one of our favorite places – the Sea Grill at Trinity Mills and the Dallas North Tollway, and then for March 17 we’ll be heading to Cantina Laredo. Hope to see you there!! Photo by Dennis Chamberlain Mary & Jim Caton 9
