President's Message

Adele Pumphries

The 2011-2012 year is just beginning, and what a way to begin! We had the first Business Meeting the night before leaving for the Pilot International Meeting and Leadership Conference held in Dallas, TX. Andrea Arnold, Barbara Carpenter, and myself joined Anita Westermann and Joyce Cox there. The conference was very informative, the speakers interesting, and the entertainment great!

I feel very honored to have been elected President of the 2011-2012 year. I am looking forward to working with all Club Members. Each of us is unique with different talents and skills. Let us blend these talents and skills together to make a difference in our lives, the Club, and our community. When this is done we will have become true, loyal, and strong Pilots in both word and deed.

Pilot love and friendship
