Welcome to the Texas District of Pilot International

We are the second largest District of 20 in Pilot International, with 44 clubs and approximately 1225 members. Pilot Club International (now referred to as “Pilot International”) was chartered on October 18, 1921 in Macon, Georgia, USA. Forty local businesswomen had envisioned not only just a local club but an international organization from the beginning, and the name “Pilot” was inspired by the mighty riverboat pilots of the day who represented leadership and guidance. Pilot Principles are Friendship and Service, our Motto is “True Course Ever”, our colors are Green (life and vigor) and Gold (sincerity of purpose) and our Emblem is a riverboat pilot’s wheel with eight spokes.

In 1990-1991 Pilot adopted a service focus of “Brain Related Disorders”. The Texas Pilots support that focus through the Projects in our communities. The Signature Project for the Texas District is Traumatic Brain Injury Camps. Pilots support 3 weekend camps and one day camp for Adult traumatic brain injury survivors. Texas Pilots have created the TBI Camp Foundation to help support these camps.

BrainMinders is the signature project of Pilot International – Protecting your brain for life is an ongoing program teaching children, youth and seniors about protecting their brains. The program consists of a puppet show, story, activity/coloring book and song to promote safety. Texas Pilots actively present BrainMinders to thousands of children throughout the District. Alzheimer’s Awareness is another focus that assists Pilots in learning about Alzheimer’s Disease. The awareness and understanding of this disease will enable us to assist our population with education and services that are available for caregivers and those affected by this disease. Pilot International is a partner with Project Lifesaver. There are many clubs in the Texas District that work hand in hand with their local law enforcement agencies to promote and fund this wonderful project that helps protect our citizens that wander. Please visit the direct link to the Project Lifesaver website.

Texas Pilots will join together for training during the 2011-2012 Pilot year. West Fall Council will be September 17, 2011 in Lubbock, North Fall Council will be in Longview on September 24, 2011.  South Fall Council will be in Brenham on a date TBD. District Anchor Convention will be in Addison, February 17-18, 2012 and the District Pilot Convention will also be in Addison, TX, April 13-15, 2012. See the Fall Council and Convention links on the website for further information.
