Lion President Bob Brewer

     Now it is time to get tickets sold for our March Crab Feed. The Crab season is open along the west coast, so I am looking forward to a successful fundraiser.  Make sure to contact your friends and neighbors and sell some tickets so that we can have a successful fundraiser for the club this spring. The tickets are available NOW!!!

     We have a busy schedule as we move into February.  To start off the month, Lion Weaver will be working the Markoffer Spaghetti Dinner. Give Lion Weaver a call to see if he needs any help. We have our Club’s speech contest on Monday the 8th. Please show up to support our contestants. We will need tellers & timers, etc… Of course, our pancake breakfast for the Senior Center of Elk Grove on the 13th.    We also have the Blue/Gold Dinner on the 18th, the PGHS Lacrosse Tri-Tip Dinner on the 19th and the PGHS Aggie Boosters Dinner on the 27th. Call Lions Brummer, Sanchez, King or Schriver to see if you can give some assistance.

     Also coming up in February is the District Cabinet Meeting. If you have never attended, you may want to plan for February 27th in Woodland and the Pioneer High School campus.

     Finally, for those who like to plan ahead, the Lions MD-4 Convention in Modesto from February 5 – February 7, and the District Convention is in Reno, April 28- May 1.

Lion President Bob Brewer

     Half way through my term as your President. I appreciate all of the assistance I have received over the past 6 months and look forward to a productive 2016. Although we had challenges with our December “non” Crab Feed, we did have a successful fundraising dinner. We raised a little over $2,000 at our TriTip and Shrimp dinner. Now it is time to get started on our March Crab Feed. The Crab season is open along the west coast, so I am looking forward to a successful fundraiser.  Make sure to contact your friends and neighbors and sell some tickets so that we can have a successful fundraiser for the club this spring. The tickets will be available by the middle of January.

     We had a great turnout for our Christmas Dinner in December, so thanks to Lion Dave & Lion Pancho for a great dinner. We also had a great time assisting the Elk Grove Food Bank at their Christmas Dinner Box event at the Baptist Church on the 21st. Thanks to all who were out in the cold and windy day to assist.

     We have a busy schedule as we move into the new year.  Of course, our pancake breakfast for the Senior Center of Elk Grove on the 9th. Also, I am looking forward to having all of you at our January 11th meeting. District Governor Mike Retzlaff and his Cabinet will be our guests at our first general meeting of the year. Also in January, our friends at the Galt Lions Club will be hosting their Crab Feed on the 16th. So, if missed having crab in December, maybe you need to buy tickets from the Galt Club. I expect one of their members at the January 11th meeting to be selling tickets if it has not already sold out by then. You can contact them at the above link if you want to be sure to get a ticket.

     The Sheldon HS Band Spaghetti dinner is set for the 23rd. Finally, maybe you want to go to the LEF Soup and Salad event on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at the Lincoln Veteran’s Memeorial Hall, 541 5th Street, Lincoln, CA.  I have attended in past years and it is a great time to enjoy great food and to visit with fellow Lions throughout the district. For more info on the Soup and Salad event, contact PDG Andy Anderson.  We have three events already scheduled for February, so you will have plenty of opportunities to volunteer next month.

     Finally, for those who like to plan ahead, the Lions MD-4 Convention in Modesto from February 5 – February 7, and the District Convention is in Reno, April 28- May 1.

Lion President Bob Brewer

     Another month has flown by and we are working to get ready for the December non crab feed. Yes, I am sure that you have heard that the California and Oregon Crab Seasons have been cancelled and we chose to go with a Tri-tip and Shrimp feed. Ticket sales have been terrible. We will be lucky to break 140 seats at our fund raiser. Please keep pushing for a few more ticket sales. Tickets are available on our website and it has been announced is on the District website as well. Check out our website, on the right side of the menu at www.ElkGroveLionsFoundation.org.  Make sure to contact your friends and neighbors so that we can have a successful fundraiser for the club this winter.      To start of the month, many of us attended the Citizen of the Year on November 2nd where our own Lion Warren Weaver along with his wife, Optimist Pat Weaver, were be honored as the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year. It was a great event and we were all proud to be there for Warren and Pat. Later in the week we cooked for the Elk Grove HS drill team on the 7th. Senior Center pancake breakfast was served on the 14th and several members attended the District meeting on the 21st. Thanks to Lion Don, our members enjoyed a Thanksgiving Dinner.

     As noted above, this month is focused on the annual fundraiser at the SES hall with Tri-tip being substituted for Crab. We will also be doing the pancake breakfast at the senior center, our annual Christmas Dinner for our club and managing traffic control for the Elk Grove Food Bank Christmas Dinner pickup. Another thing to remember is that because of the Christmas Holiday, we will have our Board Meeting on the 7th and our Christmas Dinner on the 14th.

     If I don’t see you at one of the upcoming events or meetings this month, I look forward to seeing all of you at our January 11th meeting. Governor Mike Retzlaff and his Cabinet will be our guests at our first general meeting of the year on the 11th and I would appreciate your attendance.
