Thanks, for all of your support during the transition to the new year. We had several events that we supported in July, sometimes 3 events on a single day. As usual, several members vacationed in July and it was great to see other members step up to fill in, especially for the pancake breakfast at the Senior Center. The past president’s BBQ was a success as well. Towards the end of the month, our members assisted at the Strauss Festival on the evenings of July 23-26 and we cooked pancakes on the morning of the 27th at the Child Spree and that same afternoon our members cooked hot dogs at the Elk Fest. Thanks to Lion Dave and his crew at the Strauss Festival and to Lion Jim for his crew at the Child Spree & Lion Warren and his crew at the Elk Fest. A special thanks to Lion Dan and Lion Jack for working all three events on the 27th.
As we look forward to August, we have the Senior Center pancake breakfast, the Short Line Lake Dinner, Jr. Eagles sit-down Tri-tip Dinner, Troop 59 BBQ,and the EG FFA Tri-tip Drive Thru dinner.
One final thing to keep in mind this month is that dues were due on the first of July. We have to pay the first half of our insurance for the year. The dues are still $80.

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.

Announcements
Dues: If you have not yet paid your dues, you are now late. As you remember, they are $80 per year. Just so you know, $25 goes to MD4, $43 goes to LCIF and $12 is kept by the club. That $12 per member goes into the admin fund. It is not enough to pay our annual insurance bill, which is why we are always looking for a way to bring in admin funds.
We should probably discuss dues at an upcoming board meeting.
Let’s reach out to our fellow members:
Please keep Lion Heinz in your prayers. He started radiation treatment in December. Give him a call and lend him your support. He can be reached at (540) 888-3936.
As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. He would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip. He is atEmeritus of Laguna Creek, 6727 Laguna Park Drive, EG, CA. 95758 916-683-1881
