Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
Another month has come and gone, and we seem to have been as busy as ever. Of course, he had our monthly community breakfast as well as our general and board meetings.
For special events for the month of July, we cooked for the Court of Honor for Troop 59. We also helped the Delta Lions Club with their annual Pear Bread Making event because the school kitchen they normally use was closed for a much needed remodel.
Of course, at the end of the month, we supported our friends at the Strauss Festival by managing parking for them.
Finally, on the last weekend of the month we cooked pancakes for the annual Kohls Child Spree.
Coming up are several events in August including the Annual Campout in the Park and two dinners for the water ski championships at Short Line Lake on August 26th and then on September 2nd. We will also be doing the Elk Grove High School FFA and Staff pancake breakfast.
Don’t forget that on October 12th, we will host a “Rise Against Hunger” event at the Albiani Recreation Center. We are inviting teams from each of the service clubs to join us.
Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley
By the way, did you get a chance to read this article about our Service Clubs written by our own public affairs officer, Lion Jack Edwards, published by BeLocal in June? In July, the companion article about several of our local non-profit organizations was published. Thanks Jack for getting the word out about the Lions and the other great organizations in our community. You can read it here. Below the picture of the monthly magazine you will find the article about the non-profits and the interview with Jack & Tracey.

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.
