March was a busy month, as we get back into the swing of things.
We voted to support Canine Companions as well as the Deaf Campers with donations to their respective organizations. We also supported the Meet Me on the Red Carpet for Pleasant Grove High School with a dinner BBQ on March 11th.
We are booked for upcoming events in April and May as we move forward this year in support of the EG Historical Society events.
As we moved forward with our Student Speaker Contest at the Zone level and at the Region level, the student from the Delta Lions Club won and has moved forward to the District level contest
Thanks to Lion Warren we had a great fundraiser at the end of March so that we are able to support the FFA & 4-H students at the county fair.

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.

Adjourn Club Meeting & Open Foundation Meeting Elk Grove Lions Foundation at 6:20pm
Old Business / Status Checks / Chairperson’s Report
Time to start thinking about club officers. 1st VP will need people to step up. We will need a club secretary as Lion Jack already has too many jobs and someone else needs to Jason said he would continue as treasurer. PDG Andy suggested that the 1st VP call all officers to see who will continue. Also, to ask for people to step up as 1st and 2nd VP as well as Secretary. Also, the 2-year directors move up to the one-year director position and she needs two volunteers for the two-year director positions. Good positions for new members to be a part of the club and to get to know the membership.
