We ended September with a flurry of activity, as usual. This month we assisted the CSD with their Great Pumpkin Festival on October 1 & 2. We provided lunch on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday to their staff and volunteers as part of our obligation to CSD for the use of their facilities for our meetings. On the second Saturday, we will again held our monthly Community Pancake Breakfast at the Albiani Recreational Center. Just two weeks later, we hosted our annual Day of the Day Carnitas Festival which we have not held for the past couple of years because of Covid.
Coming up in November we will be assisting the Food Bank with their annual Turkey Box give-away by providing traffic control for them on the 19th. We will follow that in December with the return of our annual Shrimp and Spaghetti Feed. Because of the Illumination Festival on the 2nd Saturday of December, we will have our event on the 10th of December. This year we will be partnering with the Elk Grove Optimist Club for this event.
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.
