Florida District vision: to serve by furthering Pilot International’s humanitarian efforts through charitable, educational & research programs
The Pilot Club of Naples was Chartered in 1959 in the
Florida District of Pilot International.
65th Anniversary of the Pilot Club of Naples
65 years ago, a group of enthusiastic women signed the Charter to become The Pilot Club of Naples connecting with Pilot International. The Pilot Club of Fort Myers sponsored this new club. We survived all the years and here we are today. This is something very special and we will celebrate it.
That original Charter will come out; the Pilot Wheel with the brass plates naming the Presidents since 1959. Our storage unit is packed with boxes of documents of history such as minutes from the meetings, programs from conventions attended and financial reports. It will be on display as history for this 65th Anniversary Celebration.
We are working on the plan with so much to do and many decisions to make, such as “will it be a luncheon or a dinner, where will it be held and when will the date be confirmed?” If we could locate every person that had been a member, everyone that supported the club and anyone who touched our club in some way. We are not the oldest club in Florida, but we are one of the oldest. It is a tradition to have a celebration and to invite Pilot Clubs of the Florida District.
It would be wonderful to have current club members help with the plan as soon as we have something to start with. We can make it fun and memorable working together. Suggestions are welcome.

Pilot Club of Naples Membership
Invite one person to a club meeting for them to see what Pilot is. . . .People don’t know about Pilot and what we do. The only way they could know is for you to invite them to a meeting. We will pick up the cost of their dinner. Let’s work on making this a wonderful meeting. We plan to have a speaker and meet at Perkin’s on Pine Ridge Road in the private room at 6 PM. We ask that you confirm with Sue (239.375.0554) on how many to plan on. That is so we can have the room set up without the confusion of moving the tables when they arrive. Make plans to attend and bring someone. . .or two Did you know that it is a fact that people who volunteer and belong to a service organization live longer and are healthier than those who do not. Share the joy of serving the community with our time, our support and care. We support 4 Pilot Scholarship Houses & residents We support the Safe & Healthy Children’s Coalition. We offer Bike Safety Rodeos, Puppet Presentations and provide Bike Helmets to schools, after school programs, churches, day care facilities, parks and recreation programs, etc. We support our Anchors. .
