The Pilot Club of Fort Myers recently presented a support check to the Children’s Network of Southwest Florida. Accepting the check was Nadereh Salem, executive director, on the left.  Club members presenting the check were Jody Van Cooney, Fran D’Alessandro and Diane Jensen. The focus of the Pilot Club of Fort Myers is helping organizations seeking to improve the quality of life for individuals with brain-related disorders through volunteer activities, education and financial support. The club name came from a riverboat pilot who could steer safely through troubled waters. The Pilot Club of Fort Myers was chartered in 1954 and has been in continuous operation since then. The club’s motto is “Do More, Care More, and Be More.”  For information about the Pilot Club, contact Fran D’Alessandro at 239-332-1140.
