Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
It was very exciting to be part of the selection committee for this year’s Citizen of the Year. The big winner was Elk Grove Lion Jason Springer and Elk Grove Soroptimist and head of the Strauss Festival, Raelynn Springer. Congratulations to the Springers. The dinner to celebrate will be the second Monday in November.
In addition to our monthly meetings and our community Pancake Breakfast, we will be very busy this month with the Great Pumpkin Festival where we will assist with VIP parking followed with the Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival and the PGHS BBQ and supporting CSD Fire by cooking for their training event.
Next month, the hilight will be attending the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year Dinner honoring Lion Jason Springer and Soroptimist Raelynn Springer. As usual, we will only have one dinner meeting and one board meeting so that everyone is free to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts. I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.
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.
