Over 350 Mavericks registered<br />
for what turned out to be one of<br />
the largest events to date: our first<br />
“Alle Mitglieder,” an All Member<br />
Morning! The Barn at One Preston<br />
Event Center in Gunter was filled<br />
with laughter, conversation, great<br />
food, and bubblies, as the driving<br />
tour groups began pulling in one<br />
by one. New members were treated<br />
extra special with their customized<br />
New Member tag on a Porsche<br />
lanyard and their own Maverick<br />
bag filled with a Porsche flag, pen,<br />
and mouse pad given by Autobahn;<br />
a Maverick logo microfiber towel<br />
and car cleaning product provided<br />
by Griot’s Garage and OCD’tailers;<br />
as well as lots of fun extras inside<br />
given by Haggerty!<br />
When entering the barn, the<br />
Chicken and Biscuit bar with<br />
yummy fresh jams, fruit, and<br />
cheese greeted our Mavs and<br />
was the favorite of the morning,<br />
compliments of Phoenix Insurance<br />
(will be sure to order more next<br />
year!). The food choices continued<br />
with the Southern Breakfast Bar<br />
of warm scrambled eggs, sausage,<br />
bacon, and more, all catered by<br />
the most hospitable team at Low<br />
Country Cuisine. They kept our<br />
glasses full too, with delicious<br />
juices and fruit to add to our<br />
champagne at the Mimosa Bar.<br />
Many thanks to APEX Automotive<br />
for the Bloody Marys, which again<br />
were a Mav favorite!<br />
The Barn was abuzz, with over<br />
320 Mavs attending the brunch,<br />
including two very special guests:<br />
Caren Cooper, PCA National Past<br />
President, and Charles (Chuck)<br />
Bush, our Zone 5 Representative.<br />
They joined Region President David<br />
Robertson as he welcomed our new<br />
members, existing members, and<br />
proudly talked about all the club<br />
had to offer. Then, to great surprise,<br />
Caren Cooper announced that the<br />
Maverick Region was receiving the<br />
Actual Growth Membership Award<br />
for 2018, beating the multi-year<br />
recipients in Canada!<br />
Needless to say, the enthusiasm in<br />
the Barn, great food and friendships,<br />
not to mention the largest gathering<br />
of Porsches in recent club history,<br />
made it a magical morning. Many<br />
thanks to our sponsor, Autobahn<br />
Porsche, for this most successful All<br />
Member Morning!<br />
