Hello Everyone, Thank you to all the Pilots that have been working over-time, writing letters, sending email, and using other methods of raising funds for the "End Alzheimer's" Walk. This is a worthwhile project that deserves our time and efforts. Thank you also, to the Pilots spending time gathering ideas and materials for our Day of Caring; and those meeting and planning our upcoming fund-raising events. While we have been working on Service, for the past few weeks, I would like to suggest that for the next 30 dyas that we focus on the friendship of our "Friendship and Service" motto. Let's take time to call, or drop a card in the mail to a Pilot you haven't seen for awhile; invite a friend to Day of Caring or to a meeting. Day of Caring is a great time to see Pilots and Anchors in action - giving our time and energy to make a small gift for 700 home-bound seniors.
