October promises to be another busy month. At our next meeting we will
be installing another new member, Maryann Baner sponsored by Shar
Barron. Keep it up Pilots we are on a roll. I cant wait to go to Fall Council
and brag about our Club and all of our new members. Speaking about Fall
Council, come on everyone let our club have a great turn out. Its Close
and its Fun. We have 5 rooms reserved and I personally would like to see
some of our new members go and get a taste of what Pilot is all about.
Our year books are out and arent they just wonderful. Im extending a big
thank you to all who have worked so hard on this project, especially
Diane Welch and Pat Masse.
Another thank you goes out to all the Pilots that worked on our fabulous
garage sale. It is always a lot of work but also one of our events that is
so much fun. Diane Welch will be giving us a report on it at the
next meeting.
This month we also have two more exciting events. The first one is the
International Dinner at Central Baptist Church on October 22nd at 5 pm.
Last year was fabulous, so I am really looking forward to this year.
Father Lopez has a large group again of foreign exchange students who will
be coming with their sponsors. Plan to come, work and have a great time.
October is also when we have the Halloween Party at Central Manor. This
year it will be on October 26th at 1pm. Its fun if you dress up, but you dont
have to. My costume is ready and youll have to come to see what Im
wearing because Im not telling. See you there!!!

October is International month with Pilot International Founders Day and our
very special International Students Dinner on October 22. There are 31
International Students at Father Lopez High School this year. Can you imagine
sending your High School Freshman 5,000 miles away from home for school?
These children are courageous and determined to get the very best possible
education. Our treat is to host the students and their host families for
dinner. We will have about 100 guests with faculty and staff from Father
Lopez High School.
We will be setting up the hall in the afternoon on October 22 and have our guests
arriving between 5:30 and 6:00. We need all hands on deck for set up, food
preparation, hospitality, and clean up. If you have international items from
your travels that you would like to share, we will have tables set up around the
room. The children really enjoyed looking at the various things we had last year.
Since the International Relations Area is in charge of the Program on
October 22 we will give you a teaser. One of our members will be sharing her
experience as an international
professional woman in todays incredi-
ble world. Guests are welcome for this
interesting and compelling program.
