Dear Pilots!
I love it when I stumble on a quote from
someone I don’t know. And what’s even better
is that there is no Joshua J Marine. He is a made-
up digital character.

Happy Valentine's Day, Pilots!​
You know I love to start my message with a
quote. As I was searching for one this month, I
came across this and it truly made me pause.
One of the many reasons we are Pilots is the joy
of being recognized.

Happy Holidays Pilots!
Tis the season… to be stressed, to be grateful, to
be stretched too thin, to be sharing presents and
time with friends and family, to be stuck in
traffic, and to be in awe. I LOVE everything
about Christmas! I am one of those crazy people
who listen to Christmas music non-stop and this
year THAT has been a welcome change from
“regular” radio and all the bad news.

Happy Thanksgiving Pilots!
With what is happening in our country today this
quote seemed so relevant to me. If someone who
has experienced the heartache that Mr. Wiesel
suffered can have an attitude of gratitude,
anyone enjoying the freedoms in our country
should be overwhelmed with gratitude.

Dear Pilots!
I will be missing the October meeting because I
will be in my hometown in PA celebrating my
50th class reunion! How did that happen? I will
miss all of you, but our President Elect, Georgia,
is well trained (better than me) to hold court.

Dear Pilots!
This statement has never been truer for Pilots
than this month. Our Division Coordinators and
members knocked it out of the park with
aggressive plans for the new year. In true Pilot
fashion they made their plans, engaged the
membership, and immediately got to work.

Good day Pilots!
What is the expression about March? She comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. That does not seem true to me for my fellow Pilots. We
have been rather quiet after our spectacular gathering of goods for UCOM. It is so wonderful to share with such a great organization. Feel free to continue to share with them on your own all year long.

To my Pilot Valentines,
This quote by Emerson could be the quote for Pilots worldwide. This is who we are and what we do for our community and beyond. Humbling; isn’t it. Isn’t it grand that as we live our life with such purpose and integrity, that we get to experience the joy of service and the fun
of working together for a common goal. We celebrate love this month and our love language is service! CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Happy New Year, Pilots!
This is probably one of the reasons Pilots receive so much joy and satisfaction in our work. Our divisions will be reporting this month on how well they are meeting their objectives. Having the benefit of insider
knowledge, I know you will be proud to learn how far we have come this year under their leadership. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
