Slipstream - December 2010

Maverick Minutes
Lisa Steele, Secretary
As the Thanksgiving Holiday
approaches, this Secretary is very
thankful that our Board Meetings
are starting and finishing in such a timely
manner. We began the November meeting
promptly at 7:00 PM. Bryan Bell was
running this meeting and he was eager to
“get it started.” Bryan assured the group
that all insurance is covered. He also had information from
Andy Mears about Slipstream. Apparently, the mail service
agency has raised their prices from our current price of
$150/month to $500/month. Andy did some research and
found another company that will do the job for $280/month.
Jim Falgout reports with a smile on his face that “we have
money.” Well…until that hospitality chick buys the pizza
and beer for the next DE.
Pat Friend introduced his friend, Paul Jason, to the group.
Paul was just sitting in on this meeting, but it won’t be
long until we convince him that he needs to volunteer for
something. Pat was also happy to announce that he delivered
his first order of 30 name tags to Chris Christensen for his
Happy Hour folks. Can I hear a Woot Woot? Keep those
8
orders coming in! Pat reported that as of November 15th the
on-line Goodie Store may have a slightly different look to
it the next time you go on there to order something because
there has been a change in management. It should still offer
everything Porsche that your heart desires.
Richard Bradley introduced his friends, Larry and Donnetta
Ramsey. Donnetta has agreed to help with Slipstream Ads
so Richard and Christy Payne (who currently does all of the
ads) can have a little relief. Both Richard and Christy are
doing the Happy Dance! Can’t wait to see your awesome
work, Donnetta!
Michael Pelletier would like for Donnetta to make a special
ad for him that says “WANTED: Registrar for AX/TT.” If
anyone is interested in this job, please contact Michael.
Christy Payne reminded the group to sign up for the AX/
TT End of Season Celebration and Awards Dinner. She also
announced that registration for Founder’s Day will be up on
the website soon. Did we mention that it is at the Gaylord
Texan?!! Anyone who is anyone, will be there so sign up
early!! I have it from an inside source that the dress code is
a nice dress shirt and jeans for the gentlemen and a beautiful
blouse or your best Christmas sweater with a pair of jeans
for the ladies. I already have my outfit picked out…do you?
Robyn Howard was present, but had nothing to report.
Travis Howard had a tear or two running down his face
as he announced that the AX/TT season is over. Travis was
excited to report that he tried a new TT course at the last
event and there were mixed reviews…keep those new ideas
coming! He also announced that the Mineral Wells dates
for next year are all set. Tannia Dobbins is working on the
AX dates.
Wendy Shoffit was present, but had nothing to report.
Carey Spreen attended several SCCA Rallies this year
and he made the comment that “they make you stop and
think too much.”
Madhu Rao was present, but had nothing to report but he is
anxiously awaiting the January Board Meeting when he gets
to put his awesome secretarial skills to work. I personally
cannot wait to read your Maverick Minutes, Madhu!
Clint Blackman announced that the next Sunday Drive is
a Turkey Chase in East Texas. Clint also announced that he
will be stepping down as the Sunday Drive Chair. It will
be hard to fill your shoes Clint…Thank you for all that you
have brought to the ever growing Sunday Drive Group!
Clint introduced John Harvey as the new Sunday Drive
Chairman. Welcome, John!!
Ed Mullenix announced that there will be a Tech Session
at Autobahn on January 15th.
