Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
It definitely enhances the message Pilot Club tries to get out to the public – “Take Care of Your Brain For Life”. Our signature events throughout the year are puppet shows for preschoolers and children in the first and second grade which teach such things as always wear your bike helmet, look before you go into the street, wear a life jacket when in a boat, and play on a safe surface.
