Fundraising - Carole Vitale
Sumter County Pilot Club had to make the heartbreaking decision
Anchor - Missy Ridgway Chaplain - Susan Graggs Parliamentarian - DJ Ferguson PIF Representative - Carole Vitale
to turn in their Charter, due to reduction of members, mainly because of health reasons. The silver lining is, that our club will be the recipient of 5 very sweet and dedicated Pilots; one of which was a Past Florida District Governor. Let's give them a warm welcome!

In April several of the Ocala Anchors from Trinity Catholic, North Marion, Bellview High and St John Lutheran came and reported on the successes of their past year and plans for the new year…WOW they are busy working hard to change our community one project at a time and an inspiration to us all.....if only we had their energy!!!
As you know by now, our very own Nancy Bierema is the 2013-2014 FL District Governor Elect. She will be installed as the 2014-2015 Governor at the April 2014 FL District Convention in Jacksonville. Our goal as a club is to have as many members present for this Ceremony as possible. Precious will be collecting your loose change or bills each month to help with this expense.
We will resume this project at our May Business Meeting!
