Happy Thanksgiving to each and

everyone receiving this newsletter. We

appreciate our friends of Pilot, our

sponsors and our members as well as

those Pilot members in our Florida

District and International. Together, you

make up who we are and why we do

what we do. Enjoy the Fall weather as

we continue holiday events for a better

community as Pilots. We can Do More,

Care More and Be More.

“If your actions inspire others to dream

more, learn more, do more and become

more, you are a leader.” John Quicy Adams

Our 2015 Pilot Club of Naples

Ambassador was honored at the October

meeting. Paulette Dickerson has served

the membership for many years as

Treasurer and volunteered tirelessly

while holding a full time position at

Wynn’s Family Market. She is a wife,

mother and grandmother. We are proud

Paulette is a Pilot. Her work ethics and

commitment to Pilot in friendship and

service makes her a perfect Ambassador

for our club. We love Paulette.

October 28

th, members of the Pilot Club

of Naples visited Shadowlawn

Elementary School to present Brain

Minders, fit helmets and promote our

Play Safe, Play Smart commitment to the

community.

Our newest member, Rose Prescott,

experienced her first helmet fitting event.

We hope this is the beginning of many

more to come for Rose.

The team consisted of Terri DeBaun,

Elyse DePiro, Ruth Fralick, Joan Hurd,

President Marilyn Lewis and Rose

Prescott. Ruth has accepted the

responsibility of Projects Chairman and

organized this event for 75 kindergarten

students. Trisha Harmon is a

Kindergarten teacher at Shadowlawn.

She competed in our 5K and picked up a

brochure on BrainMinders at the Pilot

requested the Pilot Club of Naples to

present the puppet show to all 5

kindergarten classes at the school.

November 14

th, Alzheimer’s Walk,

Fleischman Park at 9 AM. November is

National Family Caregivers month and

National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness

Month. During November, we recognize

the impact of care giving and honor the

more than 15 million Americans caring for

someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

In an effort to keep you informed:

The Alzheimer’s Association website and

November newsletter article covers

“wandering”. The caregiver does not

expect his/her loved one to wander away

from the house, grocery store, bench or car.

Unfortunately, this is the case with

wandering behavior, it cannot be predicted.

Wandering needs to be anticipated. It isn’t

new news that there are many devices that

can provide tracking abilities but the focus

still needs to be on preventing wandering

incidents from occurring. As a person with

Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia

transitions from early-stage to mid-stage

they also transition to active supervision. It

is good to think of “layers” of protection,

that is supervision plus environmental

support.” “A GPS Wearable Wandering

Assistive Technology” system is available

from a company in California. It is worn in

the shoe and costs $299 per pair plus

shipping, plus a monitoring plan starting at

$25 per month, plus activation fee. It is

powered by a rechargeable battery that

lasts 2 – 3 days on a single charge. With

careful review, it is the opinion of the

writer that Project Lifesaver is a most

efficient and effective system with a track

record to prove it. The Pilot Club of

Naples is proud to continue with

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of

trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and

success achieved.” Helen Keller

Collier County Business Hall of

Schmieding, founder and president of Arthrex Inc., has more than 30 years of experience in the surgical device industry. Schmieding graduated from Michigan State University with a physiology degree in 1977.

Today, Arthrex employs more than 3,000 people in 13 countries and exports its products to more than 100 countries around the globe.

The company created more than 500 jobs in 2014.

This year, Fortune named of Arthrex among the “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

Schmieding said he relished the opportunity to make a difference in young people’s lives.

“At Arthrex, we believe that is important for students to be aware the career opportunities that are available for them right here in Southwest Florida, and understand that through sacrifice and determination they have the potential to turn their passions into a successful career that will help their local community thrive and reach their career goals. I hope that our history from Arthrex’s humble beginning will make a difference in the lives of Junior Achievement students,” he said.

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy.

The organization reaches 4.4 million students a year in 117 markets across the United States, and 5.8 million students in 121 other countries.

Schmieding said he considered his induction into Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida’s Business Hall of Fame a distinct honor. “I feel privileged to receive this recognition from Junior Achievement of Southwest

“Their leadership within the community and professional accomplishments are truly representative of Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida’s three pillars of entrepreneurship, work-readiness and financial literacy.”
