Submissions will be reviewed and selections chosen by the PI Executive Council.

Yellow Rose Project Postcards are also available for sale in sets of 5. These will make wonderful birthday gifts, thank-you notes or tokens of appreciation for members of your clubs or local partners.

Brain Safety & Fitness Pilot International has launched our global partnership with Safe Kids Worldwide!

Many Pilots are already familiar with Safe Kids. Safe Kids Worldwide is a global organization dedicated to preventing injuries in children, the number one killer of kids in the United States. Around the world, a child dies from an unintentional injury every 30 seconds. And millions of children are injured in ways that can affect them for a lifetime. - See more at: http://bit.ly/pilot_SKWhoWeAre. Given our shared commitment to protecting children and educating kids about preventable injuries, Safe Kids and Pilot have forged a national partnership where we are encouraging our local Pilot and Anchor Clubs to work together with local Safe Kids Coalitions to plan and promote events and awareness campaigns on CPS, bike safety, pedestrian safety, and sports safety. In addition, Pilot clubs are being invited to get involved in planning and fundraising for Safe Kids Day in April 2014.

We know that many of our Pilot Clubs already have relationships with their local Safe Kids Coalitions, and we are very excited about the potential for this partnership. PIHQ and Safe Kids Worldwide have both sent out information necessary to connect our clubs and their coalitions. Clubs Presidents, if you did not receive the directory of the various Safe Kids Coalitions and information on first steps to partnering with your local Safe Kids Coalition, please contact Megan Milton at megan@pilothq.org!

If you do already have experience working with your local Safe Kids Coalition, we’d love to hear about it! For more information or to share details of your club’s current partnership with Safe Kids, please contact Megan Milton at megan@pilothq.org or by phone at (478) 477-1208 x 300. Also please visit the Safe Kids Worldwide website at http://www.safekids.org/ and view their recent YouTube video announcing their excitement about partnering with Pilot! http://bit.ly/pilot_SKKCVideo.

Caring for Families in Times of Need

International

Care & Kindness Week

International Care & Kindness Week November 10 - 16, 2013 Take Time to Care and Be Kind!

Thanks to the efforts of Pilots everywhere, the second week in November has been named INTERNATIONAL CARE & KINDNESS WEEK! International Care and Kindness Week was created to bring awareness to how simple acts can change a day, a life or the world by simply showing someone you care.

Imagined & Created By Pilot International

During this special week, Pilots and Anchors are urged to engage in numerous activities to emphasize and encourage kindness, caring and general good will to all! There are so many ways you and your clubs can get involved!

• Post International Care & Kindness Week posters and flyers in your community!

• Give “Little Pick Me Ups” to strangers, family and friends!

• Encourage families (including your own!) to “Get Real!” and put electronic devices down during mealtimes.

• Execute a special Pick Me Up for a deserving Family Caregiver.

Help spread the news that caring for one another means really engaging with one another. Show You Care. Take time to Care and Be Kind. Resources for ALL International Care & Kindness Week initiatives are available on the Pilot International website. Go to www.internationalcareandkindnessweek.org to find out more! (International Care & Kindness Week as an original and unique endeavor of Pilot International and is not affiliated with Care International.)

Kind Acts For Those Who Care

gi

The Pilot Club of Catoosa County presented their first Caregiver Pick Me Ups award to Roni May at a recent club gathering. Roni’s husband, Sam, was the victim of an automobile accident in February of 2010 which left him with a traumatic brain injury. “The hospital didn’t think he would live,” said Roni. “They were wrong. Thank God he did live but with injuries so severe that he was classified as a quadriplegic and also unable to speak. I tell anyone who asks that we have done what we have had to do by the grace of God and the prayers of our P friends and family. We continue to wait for the rest of the story.” (continued on page 8)

Pilot International News • September/October2013 Rene Koss, PC of Catoosa County member presented Roni with the club’s first caregiver Pick Me Ups gift, a “Box of Sunshine.” Rene said, “Roni is such a ‘Box of Sunshine’ to everyone she meets that a gift signifying her radiant spirit seemed the thing to do.”

“What an awesome surprise,” Roni remarked. “My ‘Box of Sunshine’ is just wonderful...it contained all things yellow, bright, and cheery, including a yellow paper sunflower to make me smile. Each member of this Pilot club has been a constant source of encouragement to Sam and I and this award has inspired us to keep on keeping on!”

Pictured at left: Pilot Club of Catoosa County member Rene Koss (l) with Roni May (r) and her “Box of Sunshine”

Why can’t we woo the Baby Boomer Generation to our volunteer in our clubs?

What’s the problem? Even putting the year-to-year figures aside, why is it that fewer than a third of my fellow boomers — who often think of themselves as the original giving-back generation — volunteer?

Spotlight on Membership

There’s no simple explanation, of course. We’re busy. We need to focus on hanging onto our jobs. We have obligations to our kids and parents. All true. But I think a key reason is that many boomers haven’t found ways they can volunteer the way they want to, by putting their talents and skills to use, rather than by stuffing envelopes, answering phones and donating food.

I recently asked a new member of our club what her take was on

this trend as a baby boomer? She shared, “It seemed to us that we needed to create something fulfilling and rewarding that would build on the skills and unique talents of boomers, They want to know that they’re making a difference. The thing I love about boomer volunteers is that they offer seasoned experience and lifelong lessons they’ve learned. Young people have great skills in technology and social media, but they don’t have the lessons to share that boomers and seniors do.” Without realizing it, she hit the nail on the head.

Clubs are increasingly tapping into that strength. They are starting to tell their story and doing a better job of recruiting older volunteers. This age group is responding to those cries for help. By midlife, you probably have some sense of what issues matter to you. So what skills sets you need in your club and look around.

Who do you admire in your own backyard that you think could give your club some help?”

A couple of selling points that are two potential bonuses to volunteering: 1. It can sometimes lead to a paying job, either at a nonprofit or elsewhere. That’s because club members likely acquire new skills, make new contacts and demonstrate their value to the club they are assisting.

P

2. It can be good for your health. Studies have shown that volunteering (especially among boomers and older people) can increase your energy, decrease depression, lessen isolation and lower your mortality rate. A person can literally live longer if you volunteer.

Happy Club Building!!!!

Pilot International News • September/October2013 Do you know an “Outstanding” Pilot or Anchor? Tell Us!

Outstanding

Pilots and Anchors are Amazing People!

Our club members give of themselves each and every day and joyfully answer the call to serve, whenever or wherever it comes. In all four corners of the globe, Pilots are hard at work not only doing the good deeds of Pilot and Anchor Clubs but also leading outstanding individual lives.

Pilots and Anchors are Unique Individuals!

Each member brings his or her own set of skills and experiences and offers their special talents to the benefit of their club and their community at large. Without a doubt, our club members are out in the world right now making outstanding and lasting contributions, leading lives of distinction that deserve recognition. Every Pilot is special. Every Anchor is special. And every one of you is vital to our organization.

We want to share their stories!

Outstanding Pilots and Outstanding Anchors from around the globe will be honored in quarterly in upcoming editions of The Pilot Log or online monthly on the Pilot International Website. What makes a member “Outstanding?” That is for YOU to decide! Do you have a special member in your club who leads the kind of life you believe would inspire others? Does that person contribute to his or her society outside of the club in a way you feel is especially important? Do you have a member in your club with a unique career or someone who has made a name for themselves in a singular and positive way outside of their work with Pilot or Anchor? Then tell us!

Outstanding

To nominate a club member as an Outstanding Pilot or Outstanding Anchor, write to us and tell us in 500 words or less why you think your nominee should be honored. To submit your entry (with photographs of your nominee if possible), please visit the I’m A Pilot > Outstanding Pilot page on the Pilot International Website or email Alison Coons, Director of Communications and Editor of the Pilot Log, at alison@pilothq. org.
