President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
We had a very busy March. We served almost 350 guests the best crab dinner available in Elk Grove. It was another successful fundraiser. Thanks to the chairperson, Lion Bob Brewer, the main cook, Lion Gary Dapelo, and all of the other Lions who worked hard to make this event a success.
Of course, there were several spaghetti feeds, the monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center, and several Tri-tip Drive Thru Dinner functions to raise funds for local groups. I am sure that EG High School, PATH/Interact Club, EG High School Track Team, and the Wilton 4-H clubs really appreciate our efforts on their behalf.
The other big event of the month was the Delta Lions Celtic Irish Tea at the wonderful Grand Island Mansion. Our club was proud to honor a long time supporter, Mary Lewis from the Elk Grove Citizen. She was our special guest for the tea. It was an outstanding event. You should plan on going next year if it works in your schedule. Check out the pictures in this issue of the Stag.
It was also busy with the time for the annual announcements for officers for our club. The elections were completed in March and our new board of directors is ready to take charge in July. Thanks to your fellow lions who volunteered or did not opt out of being nominated to lead our club through the next year.
We are gearing up for April, with a pancake breakfast at Franklin Elementary School, the Running of the Elk half marathon as well as the Western Festival Beer Booth at the beginning of May.Make sure to volunteer to lend a hand at these events.
As always, we do need to bring in some new members to help us with our efforts to serve our community. So, please join me in bringing in a new member to the club. Ask a friend, who you believe would make a great addition to our club, to join us for dinner! My term is flying by but I am sure the club will fill the remaining time with lots of events that will make our community the great place it is to serve!!
