Pilot Club of Palatka
President, Diane Wolfe

Hello Pilots,

It is hard to believe that it is the last month of the year! You members have worked hard this last year to make our Pilot Club one of the best in Florida. I am honored to serve as your president.
I want to give a couple of special thanks to those that have helped me out this year. Barbara Cooke for serving as my printer and Carol White coming over to fix my printer. She got it working just fine, then my computer went down and I had to buy a new one and my printer didn’t transfer over. I have a call into my computer guy but once again I am without a printer! Hopefully I can get it re-installed again soon.
Our breakfast for Brooks Rehab was great, thanks Jane for organizing this. I know they really appreciated it. Nice to reward them for all they do for our community. Our donation to Mellon Learning Center was very much appreciated as that will help the teachers with the students Christmas.
I know you will all have a wonderful time at the Pilot Christmas Party. I will miss you all. I’ll be arriving in Lisbon Portugal the day of your party.
January brings us our next Bunco, I know Marilyn and Traci have a great party planned again for this Bunco. Our next meeting will be January 8 and I know we will kick off the new year to be the best we can be for our community.
My prayers and thoughts are with each of you this holiday season, especially those of you and your loved ones experiencing health issues.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

Diane Wolfe

Spotlight on Pilot

Brenda Lockhart

Submitted by ~ Jane Hafner

Spotlight on Pilot!

It is an honor and privilege to highlight this Pilot who has prayed us up for a number of years. Brenda Lockhart begins our meetings with a powerful prayer and pledge to our flag. She is so heartfelt in her prayer and we all feel blessed, knowing that she has a “direct line” to our Lord.

Brenda is a realtor by profession, was our Pilot club president (immediately following the death of her beloved husband) and did an amazing job. She currently is the chairperson of our “Pick me Up” committee and has personally acquired monetary donations to be used on these projects.

I’ll never forget the Palatka City Commission meeting some years ago where she personally took our mayor to task about the Handicapped accessible playground equipment at the Hank Bryan Park. He was duly chastised and it wasn’t long after that the swings were placed in the park.

Brenda is steadfast in her moral code and beliefs and always lets others know that she cannot be swayed to stray.

When I began my presidency two years ago, she gave me a framed prayer, “I Said a Prayer for You”, which sits in my bedroom and that I look at every day and thank her for being a prayer warrior in my corner.

Thank you, Brenda, for your powerful beliefs and the courage to share them in these times. It is an honor and privilege to have served with you. Congratulations and God bless!!!!!
