Friendship & Service Through Pilot

The Pilot Club of South Brevard was chartered July 17, 1961, as a local organization under the umbrella of Pilot International, a classified civic and service organization with headquarters in Macon Georgia

It is a service organization of executive, business and professional leaders working together to improve the quality of life in our communities.

Pilot International Theme for 2011 - 2012

Be Inspired

Plot International was founded and chartered in 1921 as an international service organization. The river boat pilots of the early 1900's are the inspiration for the name. These pilots were admired for their ability to steer a "true course" through challenging conditions and obstacles.

Today, Pilot International has approximately 400 clubs and more than 25,000 adult and youth members.

Pilot International has had ninety exciting years of history-making service programs and projects.

Florida District Theme for 2011 - 2012

Harmony

The Florida District is home to 32 Pilot clubs.

Our rich heritage of Pilot Friendship and Service began in 1928 when the Pilot Club of Pensacola, Florida was chartered. We have grown from the Gulf shores of the Florida Panhandle to the Atlantic shores from Jacksonville to Miami, which was charterd in 1934.

In 1962, the Pilot Scholarship House Foundation, unique to Florida, was chartered. This Foundation answered the need for a Statewide project that all Florida Pilots support.

Scholarship houses at Florida State University in Tallahassee, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and the Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft Meyers are available to women with high academic achievement, motivation, and financial need. These homes partner with the Southern Scholarship Foundation in overseeing the home.

Pilots sponsor Anchor Clubs in elementary, middle and high schools throughout the District. Anchor members volunteer hours to improve their communities while learning leadership skills that will last a lifetime.

The Membership

The Pilot Club of South Brevard meets for a dinner meeting on the third Wednesday of each month.

We have a Program Meeting, followed by a business meeting. In addition, the club is divided into three divisions that meet monthly.

These divisions are the working nucleus of the club. Plans are formulated and put into action through the work of the divisions:

Projects Division determines projects and charities for the year.
Fund Raising Division plans fund raisers to make the money Projects donates to charity
Membership Division plans parties and special meetings for the club.

Service

One of the objectives of our local club is to reach out in the community and help those suffering from brain disorders. Some projects toward that end have been:

Visit local schools and educate children about “BrainMinders,” a safety program which highlights injury prevention.
Participate in annual bell ringing for the Salvation Army.
Support a family at Christmas for Candle Lighters of Brevard.
Donations to local assisted living facility Southland Suites of Melbourne.
Support to local chapter of the Special Olympics.

In addition to the above, we make significant contributions to local charitable organizations that are selected annually by our membership, such as:

Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind (BABB). .

Education

We award annual scholarships to deserving adults who wish to further their education and return to school. We also contribute toward the operation of three scholarship houses:

at the University of Florida.
at Florida State University.
at Florida Gulf Coast University.

These scholarship houses provide housing to students who might not otherwise be financially able to afford housing away from home.
