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 />
