Volume X, Issue 10 October 2013
October is a decidedly significant month for all of us as
members of Pilot International. Not only do we seek to
encourage others to join us during Share Pilot which is
an all-stops-out membership endeavor; we also cele-
brate the creation of our organization every October 18.
The first official Pilot Club meeting was held on October
18, 1921, and from that date on, Pilots around the world
gather to celebrate and honor this historic date as
Founders Day. After much deliberation, the name PI-
LOT was chosen, evoking the imagery of the riverboat
captain navigating his way down the waterway, just as
the organizers hoped the new organization would help
those in need navigate their way through life. Since
those early founding days, the projects undertaken by
the organization have made a decided mark on the
world stage. Early contributions as the purchase of a
Red Cross ambulance during World War II and furnish-
ing a children’s ward on the medical hospital ship, the
S.S. Hope, to recent contributions such as playgrounds
that are accessible for the handicapped and furnishings
for St. Jude Children’s Hospital are the sorts of things
Pilots have accomplished over the years. Today, Pilots
are dedicated to numerous Brain Safety and Fitness
initiatives, including BrainMinders, which is Pilot’s own
educational program.
On a local level, LPCC members have bestowed many
scholarships to graduating high school seniors, spent
many hours at the Chesapeake Care Free Clinic, played
numerous rounds of Bingo at the Coastal Clubhouse, and
tutored and encouraged many students at Thurgood
Marshall Elementary School, to name a few. We sponsor
Anchor Clubs, through the Youth Leadership and Devel-
opment initiatives, at Grassfield High School, Great
Bridge High School, Hickory High School, and Hickory
Middle School. We have contributed heavily to the Pilot
International Founders Fund, and recently we were the
recipients of a PI grant to benefit Coastal Clubhouse.
How we as Luncheon Pilot Club of Chesapeake members
“grow” and develop our potential is inherently more im-
portant than celebrating history and more vital than invit-
ing prospective members to a Share Pilot event. Current
members who are dedicated, active, and motivated insure
our effectiveness and determine our longevity. I encour-
age each of you to take our new motto seriously: Do
Keeping Pilot Members and Others in Our Thoughts and Prayers
An Irish Blessing
May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel,
so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.

Fall fun!! The LPCC will be sponsoring a fall bingo party at the Coastal Clubhouse in Chesa-peake for adults with developmental disabilities. The date is OCTOBER 29th from 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon. Please put the date on your cal-endars. Sign-up opportunities will be available at the October 8th LPCC meeting.

If you can’t join in the fun on October 29th, you can still participate by donating prizes. Items to donate need to be gender neutral (meaning something that could be used and enjoyed by either a male or a female). Examples of need-ed items include water bottles, wallets, tooth-paste, socks, baseball caps, kit beanies, winter scarves, playing cards, soaps, board games, combs, microwaveable foods (popcorn, oodles of noodles, etc). Donated items will need to be collected at the next LPCC meeting on OCTO-BER 8th.

SILENT AUCTION
One of the highlights of the November meeting will be our Silent Auction. It's a great opportunity to give up some of your treasures & bring home other's treasures. Please remember to bring new or slightly used items to donate to the October meeting. Argie Lamb & Peggy Waddell will be eager to receive them. If you cannot attend October's meeting, but have items to donate,
please call Stephanie
Rayfield, Argie Lamb,
or Diane Bakaysa.
BRAINMINDERS
The primary goal of BrainMinders is to dramatically decrease the number of brain injuries. The Brain-Minder Buddies program structures injury prevention by teaching how to “Play Safe, Play Smart” through the story “ Wise Old Owl and his Fuzzy, Funny, Smart and Sunny BrainMinder Buddies”.
Pat Wright, Brenda Barrett, and Ceil Rochevot, of the Luncheon Pilot Club of Chesapeake will present the Brain Minders puppet program to children at the Great Bridge Child Care Center on October 7th at 9:00 am to learn how to protect their heads from harm. If you would like to participate, contact Pat Wright.
More sessions are to be scheduled. Look for oppor-tunities to participate in the near future.
