A detailed listing of all new Anchor Awards can be found on the next page.

Anchors are Amazing People!

Anchors give of themselves each and every day and joyfully answer the call to serve, whenever or wher-ever 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 leading 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!
