President’s Message 
Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
As usual, we had a great time this past month helping our community starting with our monthly pancake breakfast.
We supported our scouts at their annual BBQ and awards ceremony.
We assisted with the Delta Lions Club’s annual pear bread baking. I think we baked over 600 loaves of bread for their annual fundraiser.
We also supported our friends at the Strauss Festival with parking for their annual event and we provided pancakes and vision testing at the Child Spree at Kohl’s.
Coming up this month we will join together to support Lion Taka Blackburn with the Celebration of Life for his wife, Valerie.
That same day we will be working with CSD for their annual campout in the park. Later in the month we will help the Historical Society with their Raise the Barn event and later at EGHS for the FFA and Staff we will be cooking a pancake breakfast.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts. I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.
Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver
