Pilot Club Supports Acres of Hope & Aspirations

On Saturday, September 15, 2012, Pilot Club of
Milwaukee members, including Bruno and Maureen Wolff of Shorewood, toured the grounds of Acres of Hope & Aspirations, a rehab home/farm that provides hope and healing to patients and families affected by brain injury, in Muskego,Wisconsin.  While there the Pilot Club members eagerly donated to the cause by purchasing raffle tickets for prizes that will be drawn on Sunday, September 23, during Acres of Hope & Aspirations' Open House from noon to 6 p.m.     Pictured are members of the Pilot Club of Milwaukee (http://www.facebook.com/PilotMilwaukee)   at the Waterfall of Hope with Winlom Woods, a veteran of Iraq recovering from a bullet in his brain, as well as R.N., Lisa Alberte, Director.  They are with a couple of the Creatures of Rehab, a miniature horse and a talking parrot who free roam in the Gardens of Hope at Acres of Hope and Aspirations.  For more information visit www.acresofhopeandaspirations.org,

Now in its 91st year, Pilot International is a volunteer service organization with more than 400 Pilot Clubs in five countries. Pilot's service focus is brain disorders/diseases, and each year Pilot Clubs conduct programs and projects that assist those in their community who are affected by illnesses such as Autism, Alzheimer's Disease, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), schizophrenia,depression and similar disorders.  During the last ten years the Pilot Club of Milwaukee Fund has donated over $28,000 to local community organizations.
