Shifting Gears: The Final Drives of 2016 By Jim Falgout, Region President st Gear – I am writing this shortly after our 1 “Annual Celebration,” formerly known as Founders’ Day. Tracy Robertson and Phyllis Gallegos did a fine job organizing this event. Everyone who attended had an enjoyable evening. Some of us obtained some nice items in the silent auction. The proceeds of the silent auction go to one of our charities, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House. We saw some fine pictures of Porsches that members had entered in the photography contest. At the Annual Celebration, the Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award is often presented. This award is given to a member of the club who has exhibited superior performance and dedication to the Maverick Region. The Selcer Award was presented to John Hamilton this year. John preceded me as president. He is an excellent example of someone who has a great passion for the club and will fill any role to make sure it is successful. Apparently, everyone there agreed because they gave him a standing ovation. 2nd Gear – This coming weekend is the annual club race at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, Texas. Hopefully you were able to attend or participate in this fun event. 3rd Gear – You are reading this in the last month of the year. We do not have many club events in December with all the holiday activities our members already have scheduled. In fact, our next Monthly Social is not scheduled until February. Hope you can make that event. Stephanie Ho always does a great job in arranging those activities. 4th Gear – This is also the last month of my second term as your President. It has been an honor to serve you. This club has the benefit of having great members who contribute their time and talents towards its success. It has been a pleasure working with everyone involved. We have had some challenges, members who suddenly were unable to perform and in every case someone else stepped up to fill the need. 5th Gear – The previous gear leads me into my favorite topic: volunteering. Your Club needs you…… Volunteer: You will be glad you did. 6th Gear – I have often heard the expression “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.” I can attest to that. As many of you know, I was struck with a malady known as Guillean Barre’ Syndrome. Without SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 much warning, I lost the ability to walk. I was hospitalized for three weeks and since then have been going through rehabilitation. The good news is full recovery is the prognosis. During my hospitalization, I received emails, Facebook postings, cards, presents, visits, and phone calls from members of Maverick Region. It was amazing. I will be forever thankful for all those and the prayers that were said for me. My recovery has been exceptionally quick. MAV OF THE MONTH: David Robertson Our Mav of the Month was contributing to our club long before he had an official role. His wife Tracy, was, and still is a committee chairperson and he assisted her in that role. Now he is an officer, our current vice president. When I could not fill my role as president, he stepped in without hesitation and did a great job. Your next president, David Robertson, is Mav of the Month, as we come to the end of 2016. 2 December
