President’s Message 
Lion President Taka Blackburn
As noted last month, we were scheduled to have a busy July and we did, all the way up to the end of the month.
We, as a club have already hit the month of July running with the monthly Senior Center Breakfast, the “Community Campout” in partnership with the Cosumnes Community Service District, the Strauss Festival, and the Kohl’s Child Spree. This should make all of us smile with pride as Lions! This in part is what “Lionism” is all about.
My fellow Elk Grove Lions, with your help, I know that we will continue to do our best to serve our community, upholding the Lions Club International’s motto “We Serve.”
Respectfully,
Taka Blackburn |
