After a very busy July, we had a quiet August. We cooked dinner and breakfast for the scouts and other campers at the Campout in the Park for CSD. Of course, we had our regular course of meetings including a meeting to work on our contract with CSD in the coming year. We had a good turnout for our Community Pancake Breakfast on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
Our Lions also cooked for the Troop 59 Court of Honor this month. We ended the month with a pancake breakfast for the FFA and school staff at Elk Grove High School.
Next month we will have another dinner for Shortline Lake as well as the spaghetti feed for Adreani PTA.
Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

Lions are in 200 countries and geographic areas. We have 45,000 clubs with over 1.3 million members world wide. We have a dynamic history. We are best known for fighting blindness — it’s part of our history as well as our work today. But we also volunteer for many different kinds of projects including disaster relief — across many borders. We serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools with new programs and resources. Internationally, we offer many programs.
We hope you will consider joining our club.
To become a Lion, you must be of good moral character and good reputation in our community.
Membership is by invitation.
