Happy Thanksgiving!

Cindy Williams

Hello Pilots,

November..........It is a great time of the year.  It reminds us to

take time to count our blessings.  After you think about family,

friends and co-workers, think about the blessings you have

received as a result of being a Pilot.  There are experiences I've

had as a member, officer and Lt. Governor that I wouldn't trade

for anything.  There are so many positive aspects to being a Pilot,

such as the joy you received providing emotional & financial help

to others through our many projects; the organizations you have

learned about through our speakers - you never know when this

information can help someone in the future; the generous people

you've encountered through our fund-raisers; the friendships you

have formed within our club, throughout the State, and beyond

it's borders.  Even on the bleakest of days, there is always

something or someone to be thankful for.  One thing more to

consider, you probably are not aware of how many people are

thankful for you.
