The world, our nation and Pilot International are facing many challenges today. Our District will meet these “opportunities” with determination, courage and commitment as we have for the past 82 years. We must prepare ourselves to accept change and move into the future not forgetting the past but learning from it.
The Florida District is home to 32 Pilot clubs stretching from Pensacola, the first club chartered in 1928, to Miami chartered in 1934. In 2012, Pilot International will install the sixth International President from Florida, Winnie Brewer from Titusville.
In 1962, the Pilot Scholarship House Foundation, unique to Florida, was chartered. This Foundation answered the need for a Statewide project that all Florida Pilots support. Scholarship houses at Florida State University in Tallahassee, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and the Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft Meyers are available to women with high academic achievement, motivation, and financial need. These homes partner with the Southern Scholarship Foundation in overseeing the home.
Pilots sponsor Anchor Clubs in elementary, middle and high schools throughout the District. Anchor members volunteer hours to improve their communities while learning leadership skills that will last a lifetime. We are on the way to becoming the District with the largest Anchor membership in Pilot International.
Are you looking for a place to volunteer in your community? Are you looking for others to join with in helping to improve the quality of life in the community and the world? For 10 years, Pilot International signature focus has been “Brain Minders – Protecting your Brain for Life”. That is the Florida focus. Won’t you please consider joining us?
