With the arrival<br />
of <strong>November</strong>,<br />
even though we<br />
still have more<br />
activities coming<br />
up before <strong>2013</strong><br />
is out, we look<br />
back at the past<br />
year at our annual Founders’ Day<br />
banquet. This year’s Founders’<br />
Day, scheduled for <strong>November</strong><br />
2, has probably already taken<br />
place by the time you read this.<br />
In contrast to last year’s extravaganza<br />
celebrating Maverick<br />
Region’s 50th Anniversary, I expect<br />
that this year’s Founders’ Day will<br />
be a return to the more typical<br />
evening of member recognitions,<br />
Board elections, and annual awards,<br />
including our prestigious Richard<br />
Selcer Memorial Award. Oh, yeah,<br />
and a chance to dress up and have<br />
a nice dinner among friends old<br />
and new. I hope that you were able<br />
to make it, and if not, I hope you’ll<br />
consider attending next year.<br />
But as I mentioned, there are still<br />
more events to come before the<br />
year-end holidays arrive. There is<br />
one more Drivers’ Ed event this<br />
year -- the popular one-day event<br />
at MotorSport Ranch, For those<br />
who don’t or can’t commit to<br />
the normal two-day events, this<br />
one is an attractive alternative.<br />
There re three more Time Trials<br />
left, so if you have wondered<br />
about what either type of event are<br />
about, you can still come out to<br />
Mineral Wells to check them out<br />
and avoid the heat that the MineralRing<br />
is sometimes known for.<br />
Perhaps you prefer our Sunday<br />
Drives. There are two more of those<br />
coming up: one to Fort Richardson<br />
State Park in <strong>November</strong>, and a Toy<br />
Run for our perennial charity, the<br />
Huffaker-Hughes Hope House.<br />
You may also like our social events,<br />
and of course we will continue<br />
those no matter what time of year<br />
it is. Note that we have renamed<br />
our Happy Hour get-togethers to<br />
“Maverick Monthly Socials” so as<br />
to widen the focus and let folks<br />
know that we are not just getting<br />
together for drinks -- there is always<br />
a group that stays for dinner.<br />
And don’t forget about our Holiday<br />
Party on Saturday, December<br />
14 at the home of Linda and Lee<br />
Wilkins. See the ad in this issue or<br />
visit mav.pca.org for more details.<br />
