Summer's Almost Here, Anchors!
I
hope you had a productive and wonderful school year. I’m sure you’re excited
about the fun of summer approaching. Please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Jennifer Whitehead, and I am the new Anchor Specialist at Pilot
International Headquarters. I live on a small piece of farmland and enjoy garden-
ing and love animals. I have been happily married for 13 years and have three
children, 11 year-old twins and a 7 year-old. I can’t wait to learn more about you!
I am so excited to be a part of such an amazing group of young people who are
not just sitting around talking, but taking action in their communities. You are
amazing!
A
s the excitement of summer approaches, we are busy preparing for
this year’s Second Annual 2014 Anchor Leadership Summit – JUST FOR
ANCHORS! We hope you can join us for this wonderful experience in Chi-
cago, with guest speaker Jacqueline Cornaby, education and leadership seminars,
fun hands-on service projects, the presentation of 2014 Anchor Awards, Cultural
Exchange, and More! This is a great opportunity for our anchors to spend time
with each other as well as Pilot Clubs from around the globe.
B
ecause we at PIHQ believe this leadership summit, held in conjunction with the PI Conference, is an enriching and
enlightening experience for our bright young anchors, we ask that each club
consider sponsoring at least one anchor, covering their registration fee in or-
der to help them attend this year’s Conference. This is an wonderful opportunity
to help lead and encourage these amazing young people. For more information
about the 2014 Anchor Leadership Summit or for any Anchor questions or con-
cerns, please contact us at [email protected], or email me directly at jennifer@
pilothq.org. We can’t wait to see you AND your anchors in Chicago this July!
Have a wonderful and safe summer!
In Pilot & Anchor Friendship,
Jennifer Whitehead

Anchors are Amazing People!
Anchors give of themselves each and every day and joyfully answer the call to serve, whenever or wherever it comes. In all four corners of the globe, Anchors are hard at work not only doing the good deeds of Anchor Clubs but also lead-
ing outstanding individual lives.
Anchors are Unique Individuals! Each member brings his or her own set of skills and experiences and offers their special talents to the benefit of their club and their community at large. Without a doubt, Anchor club members are out there right now making outstanding and lasting contributions, leading lives of distinction that deserve recognition. Every Anchor is special. And every one of you is vital to our organization.
We want to share their stories!
Outstanding Anchors from around the globe will be honored in quarterly in upcoming editions of The Pilot Log or online monthly on the Pilot International Website. What makes a member “Outstanding?” That is for YOU to decide! Do you have a special member in your club who leads the kind of life you believe would inspire others? Does that person contribute to his or her society outside of the club in a way you feel is especially important? Do you have a member in your club with a unique talent or someone who has made a name for themselves in a singular and positive way outside of their work with Anchor? Then tell us!
To nominate a club member as an Outstanding Anchor, write to us and tell us in 500 words or less why you think your nominee should be honored. To submit your entry (with photographs of your nominee if possible), please visit the I’m An Anchor > Outstanding Anchor page on the Pilot International Website or email Alison Coons, Director of Communications and Editor of the Pilot Log, at [email protected]. If you do not have access to email, please mail your story to Alison Coons at Pilot International Headquarters, 102 Preston Court, Macon, GA 31210 or send via fax to (478) 477-6978. Submis-sions will be reviewed and selections made by the Pilot International Executive Committee. We want to hear from you!

Alexandra Trisan was installed as char-
ter president of the Anchor Club of
St. Joseph Academy. On May 6, 2014,
chartering ceremonies were conduct-
ed at the school by Rene Naughton, a
past governor of the Florida District
of Pilot International and a past presi-
dent of the Pilot Club of St. Augustine, sponsoring organization of the SJA club. Seventeen young women and
men signed the charter during the ceremony. Other officers include Cynthia Hund, vice president; Cornelia
Wielgus, secretary; Kunfang Li, treasurer; and Hannah Pierle, chaplain. Jeri Williar is sponsor. Also attending
the ceremony was Sister Suzan Foster, assistant SJA principal. She was joined by parents of the charter mem-
bers and Pilot Club members Kay Burtin, current president; Sara Hetherington, Anne Heymen, past presidents;
and Lucille Barnhill, board member. Among the first service projects the new St. Joseph Academy Anchors
will be assisting with is the Memorial Weekend Pilot project where American flags are placed in front of the
Lightner Building to honor individuals who have served in our armed forces. Names of the honorees are placed
on flags which will be displayed from May 24 until early May 27. All branches of the service will be included.
Congratulations, St. Joseph Academy Anchors! We are proud of YOU!

The Cultural Exchange is an exciting event held
each year during the Anchor Leadership Summit.
Anchors look forward to the Cultural Exchange
where they are able to share different things about
their District and also learn about the other Dis-
tricts being represented.
Similar to a Science Fair, Anchors are encouraged
to bring a presentation board and items from their
District to share with everyone else. In the past
we have had such items as food, drinks, candy,
fruit, toys, sea shells, beach sand, music, pictures,
dances, clothing and souvenirs of all kinds from ev-
ery district represented. Some displays are elabo-
rate with many things to see and some are not - it
can be whatever the Anchor wants to share.
Each Anchor is given about 10 minutes to share
what they have brought and what information
they may want to explain. We have had history
lessons, food facts, learned about the fun spots
to visit, tasted all kinds of food, watched special
dances, learned about famous (or not so famous)
people and seen different clothing attire - all to
explain the many Districts. After the speeches
are complete, everyone is free to walk around and
look at the displays up close and ask questions.
Many times the Anchors will bring enough items
to share with the other Anchors, so everyone gets
a treat from the different areas to take home.
Anchors, now is the time to make your plans for
what you want to share. What is most special to
you about your District? What places do you feel
are the most fun to visit and why? What items
can you bring with you to share and give away?
Make your display as big or small as you want, just
make sure you have room in your suitcase! The
Cultural Exchange will be open to all Pilots and
Navigators again this year, so we hope to have
many join us for this exciting Annual Event hosted
by the International Anchors.
