Maverick Region Holiday Party: By Michael Vatter Photos by Charlie Davis and Linda Bambina Lee and Linda Wilkins graciously opened up their home for our 2013 Holiday Party 16 <strong>February</strong> Christmas time, party time. And here goes another one. “Honey, whose Christmas Party is this Saturday? Oh, Maverick Club!” It’s at Lee and Linda Wilkins’ house. The weeks leading up to Christmas feel like a part time job with all the parties going on everywhere, and depending on what line of work you are in, it can become quite challenging not to offend people by not going to their events. But as a committed member of the Maverick Club, you go to the Christmas party (unless you only joined for the car stickers and the magazines). So off to North Dallas we go. Crestway Court? No idea where that is, but we’ll find it. But what a pleasant surprise -- once we got there, somebody had directed us straight to the parking lot by putting up signs. Outstanding, much appreciated. A short walk and we arrive at the house. Is this really the Maverick Club or are we in the wrong spot? No, we are right here, there is a face I have seen before. It’s amazing how big this club is. Every time we go somewhere we feel like it’s our first time. Sometimes I think the whole of Dallas is a member of the Porsche Club with all the new people you constantly meet. Wow! We are not surprised that the club chose this location. What a beautiful house. Thank you again, Lee and Linda, for inviting us into your home. I think everybody appreciated the effort you put in. Everything was beautifully decorated and prepared. David Robertson and Social Chair Tracy Robertson Ok, the tour begins. Holy Moly, I found my favorite room: the garage. I have to convince my wife that we need a garage exactly like this one. I could have just spent the entire evening there. Except for the food of course. Maggiano’s Little Italy catered the buffet, and it was phenomenal. I especially liked the cheese pile on the dining room table. For a moment I wondered if I should just take it home with me, but there were just too many witnesses. Yummy. As always, tons of really really nice people. Maybe it’s just Don Sebert, 2013 Secretary Renee Farinella, and Doug Koeppen a subjective impression, but it appears that Porsche people are just a special breed. Down to earth, open, and always friendly. I remember attending another car club’s event. Very different crowd. I’m not going to say who it was, but it rhymes with “Maguar.” The hosts were even considerate enough to supply us with outside heating in form of gas burners so our cigar-smoking friends could enjoy their goodies without freezing. I could write much more about this wonderful event but space is limited and I don’t want to bore the readers. One thing is for sure: whoever plans and organizes next year’s Christmas party has some pretty big shoes to fill, and I think I speak for every member in attendance when I say: “Linda and Lee, job well done. You can be proud of yourselves.” Former Parade Chair Jan Michel with Monda Hanna
