President’s Message 
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.
