In celebration of Pilot International’s motto Do More Care More Be More; the Evening Pilot Club of Sumter will create a year round project of Making a Difference. During the year our club will raise public awareness about Pilot International efforts while providing respite to individuals and by supporting specific groups of caregivers for their meaningful deeds. Each month a specific group of caregivers will be chosen by our club to be supported or recognized. All activities will be documented to include description of Pick Me Up, recipient, date, feedback and photographs in our Making a Difference 2019-2020 scrapbook.
In October, members began distributing 100 Pilot Pals to the coroner’s office, Department of Social Services Protective Services, and YWCA women’s shelter. The teddy bears have bibs which state Pilot Pal Cares for You, compliments of the Evening Pilot Club of Sumter. Each bear has a red heart under their bib. The purpose of the bears is to help comfort children who are separated from a parent or undergo traumatic experiences such as fire, separation and death. Children are seriously psychologically harmed when they are separated from their parents or experience trauma. By comforting and providing empathy during time of stress, children were more disposed to develop coping skills. The organizations receiving the bears will have open invitation to request additional bears during the year, thus Making a Difference to the children.
We believe children who are separated from the family experience loss and often need a little something to help them cope. If it is successful, we hope to continue annually and make this our clubs signature project!

Macon, Georgia – On Friday, August 23, 2019, Pilot International Headquarters staff and the Executive Committee participated in a service project sorting and boxing books donated at Pilot International’s recent convention in Chicago. The books were given to Book ‘Em, a Macon/Bibb County based non-profit that provides at-risk children of all ages with new and gently used books.
The books are distributed by the Macon-Bibb Sheriff’s Office at school-wide book giveaways in an effort to prevent summer learning loss, also known as “Summer Slide,” during The Sheriff’s Office’s summer CHAMPS camps; during various community events, many held at our local recreation centers; at back-to-school kick-off events; and by patrol officers who keep books in their cars to give to children they encounter through their patrol duties.
Why is this so important?
The literacy rate really determines the success or failure of a community, as demonstrated by the fact that many municipalities use the reading achievement test scores of 3rd graders in their schools to project the number of jail cells needed in 20 years. Additionally, the Macon-Bibb Sheriff’s Office hope is that this gift of books will help the children of Macon-Bibb see law-enforcement officers as friends and allies whom they can trust.
