All Member Party: A Record-Breaking Event!

Over 350 Mavericks drove at least 40 miles to get to an
amazing venue in Gunter: One Preston Event Venues. That
broke all records for a Social Event; thank you, Debi! But then
that’s just one more thing that is great about this club . . . we all
LOVE to drive! Unless your GPS isn’t updated and can’t find
the place! (But that’s another story!)
Alan and I have been coming to these “Member” gatherings
since the late 80s when the Board (maybe 10 people) just focused
on inviting New Members (maybe 20 people) and served them
chili at each other’s homes! The idea was to encourage the new
folks to try out some of our other competitive events, and to
meet the wives and encourage them to drive, too! I still try to
do that at the Extravaganzas that have been happening the past
decade or so.
I love coming to these All Member Parties. I get to see so
many of my old friends, look at the old scrapbooks (thank you
Carey for taking care of them!) and then schmooze with all
kinds of newbies about my crazy “vest” with the fancy sequined
Porsche crest that I made for a Parade in ’93. OH! Parade! Ya
gotta come to Parade, folks! (But that’s another other story!)
