Holiday Times in Mineral Wells Photo by Dennis Chamberlain by Lanean Hughes On a beautiful, sunny, Texas Sunday, December 19, 2004, a group of excited Maverick members were in Mineral Wells to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Hope Shelter. With the assistance of the Hope board members, staff members and administrator, Lisa Huffaker, we “lifted the dirt” at the new site. After a few brief introductions, Reverend Bumpus of the First Baptist Church lead a prayer to bless the land. It’s a dream becoming a reality. Following the ceremony we all then had Holiday sharing with the staff and clients from the shelter. The toys and stuffed animals that PCA members donated at the holiday party were given good homes and will be loved. Everyone enjoyed the great event. Helping those less fortunate is what WE are all about. We “Hope” that all the Maverick members will make a New Year 2005 commitment to our new project. Please help us secure the building materials needed for this shelter. We will continue to take donations throughout the year. This is Maverick’s ultimate project, and we want to share this with all our PCA friends around the country. Come be part of an exciting and rewarding project. We will soon be looking for volunteers to help with putting up dry wall, painting, as well as many other More Than Words Can Discribe. skilled Maverick Minutes by Mimi Spreen The final Board meeting of 2004 was held on Tuesday, December 14 at the home of Karen and Keith Olcha.

Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon by Dennis Chamberlain Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Monda Degan and Mike Lockas Asmall but enthusiastic group of Mavericks attended the November 18 Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon, as we approached the Thanksgiving Holiday. This was our first visit to Nuevo Leon since its recent change in ownership. An advantage that Nuevo Leon has to offer, in addition to a reasonably priced menu, is that Clarence and Lydia Wyatt always come. Another face that we hadn’t seen for awhile was Chris Smith. New members attending were Ken and Grace Strauther (’99 Carrera Cabriolet), who used to be members in the Southern California chapter when they owned a 912E, and James LaBarba. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures, but James could have a second profession by doing Billy Crystal imitations. For the January 20th Happy Hour, we’ll be heading back to the Saltgrass Steakhouse in Irving. We’ll be the group gathering around the fireplace.

We’ll be heading to some new places, plus some of our old favorites including the Bavarian Grill, Sea Grill, and Joe T Garcia’s. New Members Grace & Ken Strauther 9
