Catch My Draft by James Shoffit, Region President Most of you who have been around a while are probably quite familiar with our discussions and fundraisers for our charity in Mineral Wells called the Hope Shelter, but for those of you who may have joined us recently, it is a good time to share a little more information. The Hope Shelter is a refuge for victims of domestic violence that serves women and children in the North Texas area. We have been helping support it as a charity for more than 10 years. It is located in Mineral Wells and deals with many families per year. It gives the women and their kids a safe place to live while they regroup, work on legal issues, start to build up a new support system and resources, and then helps them get started in a new, better, situation. Largely because of Lanean Hughes, and her kind heart, we have taken countless loads of our old (but still usable) items out to Mineral Wells for the clients to use there or for them to take when they leave to set up their own safe homes. The gifts the club has given them over the years has added to be quite a substantial number! We thank everyone for their generosity. The shelter had been in a house that was decades old and getting to be in pretty poor repair. A few years ago Mark Gluck (now Vice President) decided they needed a new place to stay and had a vision of what that could be. Countless woman (and man) hours later, a new shelter was created, largely based on help, assistance, and guidance from the Maverick Region. Lisa Huffaker’s, the director of the shelter, name graces the new building, along with Lanean’s. The Huffaker- Hughes Hope House has been in operation since December, 2006. Our Region’s contributions to the shelter were recognized by PCA National this year at Parade. We received a check for $1500 from PCA to be given to Hope as part of the National Service Award we won. On September 16th, at our Sunday Autocross, Lisa came out and we presented her with a check for the $1500 plus another $500+ in donations from members (from charity laps, autocross water donations, etc.). Lisa and husband, Mitchell, were very grateful. After Lanean’s passing last year, Clara Lewis had stepped up and became the focal point for our efforts in getting stuff to the Shelter. But due to family circumstances, she will not be able to continue in the role in 2008. So we are looking for some kind-hearted soul to help us out in that regard. All it takes is some space to store stuff that people bring as donations (usually just clothes and toiletries and occasionally toys and other odds and ends – nothing terribly large), and a vehicle capable of getting those items to Mineral Wells. An SUV or Minivan has been working great for the past number of years. Occasionally we make a big round-up of larger items, and we rent or borrow trucks for that. That is not what we are asking for here. It is mainly someone to accept the donations and watch them until they can be taken to the shelter. The shelter has been so appreciative of our monetary donations, as well as the goods we provide. Without Maverick Region’s support over the past years, they would still be stuck in an old empty run down building with small bedrooms and one bathroom. They need us and we need them. What better way to help the community than give to such a worthy cause? Please help us to continue giving to them. Photo by Wendy Shoffit 5
