Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     If you were expecting a slow down in our activity, you must be thinking about some other Lions club. We had another busy month here in Elk Grove.  We started out the month helping at the harvest festival by handling the parking control on the 4th and 5th. Thanks Lion Dave King for coordinating. On the 10th Lions Bill Kirkland, Rick Schriver and Charlie Bremmer cooked at Franklin Elementary School for their fundraiser.  As usual, on the second Saturday, we provide the food and labor for the pancake breakfast at the Senior Center.  We were invited to participate at the Zone meeting on the 21st as well as the Visions in Motion fundraiser on the 25th. Lion Andy Anderson handled our support of the fundraiser.

     We already have a full schedule for November, starting with selling tickets for our December 6th Annual Crab Feed Dinner. Contact Lion Jack Edwards for tickets. We will also be assisting IPCC Derek Ledda at a fundraiser, two spaghetti dinners on the 8th followed by the pancake breakfast on the 11th. Several of our members plan to attend the District Cabinet meeting and as usual we will be handling traffic control and assisting the Elk Grove Food Bank with their distribution of food for Thanksgiving.

     Please join me in continuing the tradition set by our past club presidents in keeping the Elk Grove Lions Club at the top of the list of service clubs in Elk Grove as we get ready for a busy November.  Please check the board minutes to see who is the chairperson for the above events and volunteer to assist them with our commitments to our community this month.

     Finally, don’t forget that we are celebrating Thanksgiving at our club with a family night on November 24th. Please bring a check made payable to the Elk Grove Food Bank for at least $10 as we will be donating the proceeds of our dinner meeting to them again this year.

Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     As expected, we had another busy month here in Elk Grove.  We started out the month cooking a Tri Tip dinner for St. Peters Church. Thanks to Lion Chris, one of our new members. That was quickly followed by the first dinner meeting of the month, then the Spotlight Elk Grove to assist the major fundraiser for scholarships for Elk Grove seniors getting ready to move on to college. The following weekend, we had our regular pancake breakfast to support the Elk Grove Senior Center on the 2nd Saturday of the month. The major difference was the almost the whole crew was new to the job as our regular cooks were on vacation. We still managed to feed about 130 pancake eaters which put about $650 in the bank for the Senior Center. As usual, we provide the food and labor and the Senior Center gets the proceeds as our donation to their operation for the use of their facilities for our meetings and cooking projects.

After a short break of about a week, we were on the job again with our first major fund raising effort for this fiscal year, a Tri Tip Dinner Pick-Up on September 22nd at the Senior Center. We prepared and packaged up about 150 dinners, including the cooked tri tip, 4 baked potatoes, salad, bread and dessert. Great effort by well over a dozen dedicated lions. hope to be cooking several hunderd tri tip roasts as well as 4 times as many baked potatoes. Of course, there will be beans, salad, bread and cookies to round out the meal. Thanks to Lion Taka for taking the lead on this project.

    Of course, weren’t done yet. On the 26th we did a spaghetti dinner for Andreani Elementary School, and to close out the month, we made a visitation to the Galt Lions Club on September 25th.

     Please join me in continuing the tradition set by our past club presidents in keeping the Elk Grove Lions Club at the top of the list of service clubs in Elk Grove as we get ready for a busy October.  We will be assisting with traffic control for the Pumpkin Festival during the first weekend in October, followed by all of our regular activities.

President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     Another month as your president, and everything is going well. Thanks to the board and to the members of our club for your support. As you would expect, we had a busy August and are looking toward a busy September.

    Of course, we had our regular pancake breakfast to support the Elk Grove Senior Center on the 2nd Saturday of the month. We also had a great time at the roasting our own Past District Governor Andy Anderson on the 15th of August at the Roseville Lions Clubhouse. We had 10 members and guests travel to Roseville in support of Lion Andy. The food was great too.  If you did not get enough to eat on the 15th, it was quickly followed by the Annual International Food Fair on the 17th. More great food and a wonderful time for Lions to get together and visit.

     If that wasn’t enough, there was the dinner at Short Line Lake on August 30th which is a regular fundraiser for our club.  Speaking of fund raisers, we have one coming up in September and we will need the support of every member to make this a successful event.  We will have a Tri Tip Dinner Pick-Up on September 22nd at the Senior Center. We hope to be cooking several hunderd tri tip roasts as well as 4 times as many baked potatoes. Of course, there will be beans, salad, bread and cookies to round out the meal. Click Here for more info. Please pick up a book of tickets at the next meeting and get them sold. If you are not going to make the next meeting, tickets are available online so tell your friends to go online to buy tickets. The link for tickets is near the top on the right side of the page.  www.ElkGroveLionsFoundation.org Thanks to Lion Taka for taking the lead on this project.

     In addition to the tri tip dinner noted above, we have a couple of other events scheduled for September. We are cooking tri tip and chicken for a dinner at St. Peter’s Church on the 5th, we will be cooking our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center on the 13th and we will be doing a spaghetti dinner for Andreani Elementary School on the 26th. Don’t forget that we have scheduled a visitation to the Galt Lions Club on September 25th. If you have time in your busy schedule, please plan to assist with some of these events.

     Please join me in continuing the tradition set by our past club presidents in keeping the Elk Grove Lions Club at the top of the list of service clubs in Elk Grove.

Let’s reach out to our fellow member, Lion Sterling. As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. His wife sent a little note along with his dues payment stating that he would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip.
