Another Winning Founders’ Day Gala By Dee Lersch Each November the Maverick Region celebrates its 1962 founding with a gala at which the winners of the year's driving events are honored, next year's officers are installed, and money is raised to benefit our charity, the Hope Shelter. It is an eclectic event, a mixture of past and future, both poignant and joyful. This year Founder’s Day was held at the Hilton DFW Lakes in Grapevine – an appropriately glittery backdrop for the Casino for Charity action and the more than 130 Mavericks who attended, many in black-tie. Peter Schutz, CEO of Porsche AG from 1981- 1988, was our speaker, bringing more glamour and excitement to the evening by sharing his memories of Porsche’s return to, and dominance of, international racing events during his tenure as well as the engineering of the biggest positive financial turn around in Porsche sales history.

Lori Mauthe with her father, Peter Schutz, signing autographs for Robyn Howard, Mike Lockas, and Lisa Steele. Mr. Schutz also significantly added to the treasures, and finances, of the Silent Auction by donating autographed copies of his book, Driving Force: Extraordinary Results with Ordinary People (Entrepreneur Press, 2003), which brought in more than $1,000 for the Hope Shelter! Casino “donations” and other auction items (including a membership to MotorSport Ranch won by a thrilled Monda Degan) added $1,500 more. AX, TT, Top Driver, and even an award for Cone Killing, were given out. We had Rally series trophies, and Club Race and Drivers’ Education recognitions. Then our special award for outstanding club service, The Richard Selcer Memorial Trophy, was given to Wendy Shoffit - along with a standing ovation for all her work on behalf of the Maverick community. Event organizers Ed & Tracey Gross, Jan Mayo and Wendy even arranged to document that Mavericks clean up well: Linda Bambina and Charlie Davis set up a “Maverick Glamour Shots” studio. They snapped proofs, printed and delivered the photos at the end of the evening as a special souvenir of another fabulous Founder’s Day. If you didn’t make it to this one, put it on your <strong>2006</strong> calendar right now: “November, someplace wonderful, with the people with the cars.” Photo by Wendy Shoffit Photo by Wendy Shoffit Dee Lersch, Jean & Dave Frick, Kafi & Eknauth Persaud Current President (left), Rocky Johnson with former MRPCA Presidents. 14
