Update on the contest: We are one month into the contest and one team is 11 points ahead of the other. Which team is ahead? You'll find out at the August meeting!

Hello Pilots,

See you soon!

Cindy Williams

We are off to a good start this new Pilot year with Plan of Works discussed and voted on at the July meeting. Attached is a copy of the approved Plan of Works. As you can see, we will have a busy, but fun and productive year. We are going to try some new fund-raisers - they have been very successful for other Pilot clubs, and those clubs have shared their ideas and tips for success. The members that were out of town or that couldn't make the revised July meeting date, I placed you on a committee, based on previous years or how I thought your talents best fit the committee. Of course, if you would prefer a different committee, it can be easily changable.

I hope all of you can attend the August meeting. You won't want to miss our guest speaker, Jim Samuelson from Alzheimers Association. We will also be voting on our 2012-2013 Budget and Programs. Crystal has lined up some fun and educational programs for us!

Greetings, Florida Pilots!

I am both trhilled and privileged to serve as your Executive

Committee Representative for this year.

As I look forward to getting to know each of you, please

allow me to share a little about myself. I grew up in a

nurtuting family from which I developed a true love for

service. Valuable experiences were also gained as a Girl

Scout and Anchor Club member. Grwoing up with a friend

whose brother had a mental diability, I was drawn to the field

of Special Education. It has been my privilege to teach

students with a wide range of disabilities and to direct a

couple of summer day camps for special needs children.

Each child was unique and "gifted" in his/her own way, and I

learned as much from them as they did from me. Most

recently, I served as a Parent Coordinator and a literacy

instructor. I continue to enhance literacy skills in adults so

that they can be more effective in reading with their children.

For me, PI is an outlet for service and

friendship that I shall always treasure.

It is always amazing to discover the

varied ways that Pilots carry out our

mission to communtities around the

world!
