Pilot club of the halifax area newsletter the breeze oct 2013

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 can’t 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. “It’s Close

and it’s 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 aren’t they just wonderful. I’m 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 don’t

have to. My costume is ready and you’ll have to come to see what I’m

wearing because I’m not telling. See you there!!!

At the September 24th Pilot Program meeting DSC Dean of Alternative

Student Service and Adult Education Dr. Katrina Bell and Associate

Director Veronica A. Oxford were presented with a check for student

scholarships for the DSC Foundation Scholarship fund. The $1500

scholarship check was presented by President JoEllen Salce Rogers to

Dr. Bell and Ms. Oxford as they presented a

brief overview of the Daytona State College

Center for Women and Men programs;

Fresh Start for Women, Fresh Start for Men,

CCAMPIS, New Directions.

October is “International” month with Pilot International Founders Day and our

very special International Student’s 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 today’s incredi-

ble world. Guests are welcome for this

interesting and compelling program.

Pilot Scholarship House News (and a bit more)

News from our girls,

The semester is well underway and our three girls are doing just great. Niece, Julia Schap is hard at work with very demanding classes in our Pilot House and Katie (now a senior) and sister Pam Inglett are loving life in their respective houses. Pam has friends in the dormitories and her word to mom Holly is that at the “house” everyone cares and supports and in the dormitories, this isn’t the case.

We are so lucky to have Pilots who generations ago felt the need to start the Pilot Scholarship House Foundation to be part of the Southern Scholarship Foundation and to build the houses. Our girls in our houses and the other residents of the other Scholarship Houses and having the college experience that books are written about. The quality of their college experience cannot be measured.

Fall Council is our opportunity to show our girls in the Pilot Scholarship Houses that we care and support – even from miles away.

Very Proud Aunt, Diane Welch

WOW!!! Time surely flies when you are having fun. It has been three months as treasurer and I have gained an enormous amount of knowledge. However, I am still attempting to

fill at least one of Diane Welch's shoes.

A great big thanks to Libby for assisting me with getting the online banking set up with Gateway. We had a software compatibility issue. What an awesome time I had at the yard sale that went

really well. Everyone chipped in and worked very hard. The Welch's where great host and hostess. The diapers and baby wipes collected at our last meeting have been delivered to Shar. On the next financial report you will see that we have a head start on the pecan fundraiser, the good hearted Diane has purchased all of the remaining pecans from last year. Pilot brothers and sisters you all are so awesome and I want you to know that

when I count my blessings, I count each of you twice.

Proud to be a Pilot!!! Alonia Gainous, Treasurer

September is ending with four new members for our Club! It has been a wonderful and productive first quarter. Our yearbook is a testimony to the efforts of Diane Welch, Pat Masse, and the tireless committee, and an edition that surpasses all others. We are happy to have chosen Pat

Masse as our PIF Sweetheart, as she truly exemplifies all that a Pilot should be. The money should be accumulating

after our garage sale and pecan sales.

I will have much to share after the Third World Parkinson Congress in Montreal from October 1-6. You know it is a cause that I keep close to my heart. Hopefully, treatment

options will look more promising.

Thank you all for making my first three months as Presi-dent so positive. However, I believe the best is yet to come!
