John Hamilton announced the Mav of the Month as<br />
. . . well, you’ll have to read his column to find out!<br />
For those reading these minutes, please note that<br />
the article title for this month is fitting in two respects.<br />
First, I am flying over West Texas as I write<br />
this now. Even though it is pitch black down there, I<br />
always marvel at the mystical nature and vast beauty<br />
of our state. I am sure many of you share my fondness<br />
for the Hill Country and West Texas roads.<br />
Secondly, this marks my last secretarial report to the<br />
Maverick Region. I have enjoyed the past two years<br />
and am proud of the growth and awards received<br />
by our region. I expect more of the same with the<br />
returning board members and new Executive Council.<br />
And of course let’s not forgot those great cars<br />
from Zuffenhausen - they really do fly, don’t they?<br />
So in homage to the band known as REO Speedwagon,<br />
perhaps I should rename my 911 as the<br />
“RAO Speedwagen”? Sounds better than “RAO<br />
Schnellwagen,” right? What do you think?<br />
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 pm.<br />
