On October 16, 1921 the forty Charter Members of Pilot International came together to sign the origional Pilot Charter. From that day on, Pilots aroung the world celebrate & honor this historic day, October 18, as Founders Day, the birthday of Pilot. Pilot International Founder’s Fund was estabilished to support the community-based work of pilot clubs by helping to underwrite the club efforts to serve in the areas of preparing youth for service, encouraging brain safety & health and supporting those who care for others. Pilot International and it’s clubs are able to improve the lives of others through education, volunteerism and financial support and research.
Barbara Watson, Mary Cramer, Mary lou Stewart, Sharon Mauler, Daniel Watson and Rhonda Knudson (not pictured) set up the display for Founder’s Day (October 18th). October is also membership month. It is the second year for the Pilot display at the library for the community to learn about our local Pilot Club and Pilot International and their mission and projects.
One of the tied fleece blankets for the children in foster care is on display at the Great Bend Public Library.
The items on display are the club’s banners, information about pilot club and their story, and a scrapbook of activities and projects. Pilot Club hopes to encourage others to join their club.
