See you soon,

Cindy WilliamsPresident

This being a new year, I would like to encourage each one of

you to face this new year with excitement and enthusiasm,

with your focus on Pilot's mission, to make a difference in the

lives of others. We have several opportunities to do this in

the next few months: Anchor/Pilot Joint Meeting, Bowl-a-

Thon fundraiser and Special Olympics.

Happy New Year Pilots,

I hope everyon had a wonderful Christams. Now that the

holidays are past us, it's time to roll up our sleeves and move

ahead into the second half of our Pilot year. I want to thank

everyone for the great job you did on selling our Pecans.

Also, due to your efforts, December was our best month so

far, in selling our Gift Cards.

Lastly, but very importantly, we need nominations for Club

Officers for the 2013-2014 year. Each of you have great

ideas and talents that benefit our Club, so please give

consideration to taking one of these positions. If you are

interested in being on the Board, but perhaps lack

confidence, be assured we have many resources for training.

I'm Sure you will find it a good experience.
