Maverick Minutes Lisa Steele, Secretary If you thought last month’s minutes were short and to the point, just keep reading these minutes…it won’t take long I promise. You see, our fabulous President Mike Brodigan, decided to take on the challenge of running a very quick but efficient meeting. We began the meeting promptly at 7:00pm. Christy Payne started our round the table discussion with several updates on upcoming Social Events. She passed around a list of sponsors and other generous people who have always donated items for our Silent Auction at Founder’s Day. Many people promised to call and collect items for the Silent Auction. Christy also announced that the AX/TT Awards Celebration at Dave and Busters is all set to go. She also reported that the Club House for the New Member Party is no longer available on Sundays, therefore the party will be scheduled for Saturday, Jan.29th. Robyn Howard speaking for Travis Howard reported that the Oct. 2-3 Time Trial and Autocross was good but had low attendance. There were just enough people to run the event safely. Robyn also announced that there is only 1 Time Trial and Autocross event remaining for the season. Robyn reminded the group about the Swap Meet at Zims on October 9th. 15% discount on parts…what a great deal! Bryan Bell had nothin’ to say except that he is looking forward to the Club Race at Hallett on the weekend of Oct.16th-17th. Good Luck to ALL Maverick Club Racers!! Jim Falgout was grinning from ear to ear because he was happy to announce that he completed his first DE and he only had 3 spins. Jim was also very happy to report, “We have money!” Speaking of money, there are a few advertisers who have still not paid so Pat Friend said he would make a few calls to those advertisers so they won’t get their ad pulled from Slipstream. Pat Friend was pleased to announce that we have 3 new advertisers coming on board to Slipstream. Pat also reported that the orders for badges had not been what he was expecting. After some discussion, Wendy Shoffit and Mike Brodigan said they would look at clubregistration.net for member information. Hopefully, an order can be placed soon. Ed Mullenix said that he would try to get a Tech Session set up for the 27th of November. Richard Bradley was very excited to announce that he might have some more help with Slipstream. One of our members may help take on designing some of the announcements for our events because she has a graphic design background. This would really help Christy who currently designs most if not all of the Event Ads. Lisa Steele (me) reported that we had a wonderful turn out for our September DE. We tried a new caterer for this event and got rave reviews from everyone. We hope to have Del Norte serving their wonderful cuisine at all of our upcoming DE’s and all events on the calendar for next year. Madhu Rao was present to see the true artistry of taking minutes at our Board Meetings…wink, wink. If you carefully read last month’s Slipstream, you noticed Mr. Rao’s name on the Board Officers Ballot for Secretary for 2011. Wendy Shoffit reported that we collected over $500 during Charity Laps at the September DE. Thank you very much to Clint’s Sunday Drivers for coming out and donating so generously! Carey and beautiful daughter Geneva Spreen were present but did not have much to report. Carey is still working on Rallies for next year. 8
