President’s Message Happy May to everyone! I thought they were supposed to be April showers bringing May flowers, but the rains haven’t stopped. Sometimes I feel we’re going to float away! But, I guess, as Pilots, we will steer our “true course” through these waters as our founders did. Pilot continues to evolve, just as our club, and just as we, do. Change can be good. I look forward to seeing how the changes we are making within our club help us grow, prosper, and continue to help our community. See you Thursday night for our planning meeting. Please try to get there a little early to make it through the buffet line so we can begin at 6:00 sharp. We will have a full evening of work to get through.
