Lion President Sharon Mika

Happy New Year 2018!

Another fresh new year is here! Another year to live! To vanish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give!

With that in mind, your Elk Grove Lions Club Members are here to serve!

BIG DAY OF GIVING – Check out this website and budget now to support the Elk Grove Lions Foundation! You can donate at ANYTIME!

Wrapping up December, please thank Lion Joe and his crew for handling the traffic control for the Elk Grove Food Bank’s Christmas Box Drive.

Also thank you to Lion Brad,” aka Santa for the kids” at our Family Christmas Dinner, as well as the lead on our annual December Crab and Shrimp Feed. A big thank you to all Lions who helped to make one of our major fundraisers a big success! And thank you to the people who attend this event year after year. We appreciate your continued support!

January 8th and January 22nd we will get back on schedule with our dinner meetings. The monthly pancake breakfast is on January 13th and our board meeting is on January 15th, all at the Senior Center.

We will be helping out at Pleasant Grove Lacrosse Club’s 4th Annual tri tip dinner on January 26th.

Lion John Jr. has confirmed our Chili’s fundraiser for next month. It’s on February 7th and a portion of the proceeds will go to us from that day. Tell all your family and friends! Coupons you can print out are attached here to the website.

Looking for somewhere to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? We will be hosting our very first Corned Beef with Cabbage Dinner at the Elk Grove Pavilion with Lion Taka as head Chair. We hope to make this an annual tradition, so please come support our efforts to provide a delicious and entertaining night!

Recyclables – Keep saving them please! With our combined donations, we can make a difference!

Lion President Sharon Mika
We just wrapped up our annual Crab & Shrimp feed held at the SES Hall on December 2nd; Lion Brad took lead and with plenty of Lions to assist we provided another successful dinner.
Our Thanksgiving Dinner with friends & family was a delicious as usual! Our November board meeting was cancelled due to a conflict with the Zone Meeting held on the same night. We change things up a bit for December with our board meeting on the 11th and our Christmas dinner for family on December 18th; Lion Jim will take charge along with assistance from fellow Lions to provide our feast. Following tradition we will make a donation to the Elk Grove Food Bank for our December meal. Please bring cash or a check payable to the Elk Grove Food Bank Services for $10.00 or more.
The monthly pancake breakfast held at the Senior Center will be on December 9th, along with biscuits and gravy, a popular addition to the breakfast.
For our next big fundraiser, we will be trying something new to replace the Crab & Shrimp feed held in March. A corned beef & cabbage dinner will be held on March 17th, 2018 at the Pavilion in Elk Grove Park. We are still working out the details but we are excited for this new idea!
Lion John Jr. is working with Chili’s to set up a day for a percentage of your meal to go to the Elk Grove Lions Club. Tentative date is January 24th.
Don’t forget to save your recyclables for funds to go towards supporting our youth in the area at the Sacramento County Fair. A big thank you to Lion Andy for handling the collections.
To each and all a very Merry Christmas!

Lion President Sharon Mika

Thank you to all who helped make our 2nd annual Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival Dinner a great success! Special thanks to the chair, Lion Jey, and Lion Pancho & crew who cooked. Delicious as usual!
November 6th some of us will be attending the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year dinner to honor our very own Lion Pancho Sanchez. Once again Congratulations for a well-deserved honor!
Next up is our monthly pancake breakfast at the Senior Center on November 11th. After many years as a co- chair with Lion Jim, Lion Don Thompson will be stepping down as pancake flipper L. Lion Don has been turning out beautiful fluffy golden brown pancakes every month for years and we will surely miss him and his expertise. He will still be helping out with the shopping for the breakfast. Thank you for your continued service Lion Don, you will be greatly missed!
On November 13th we will have our annual Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. Our board meeting will be on November 20th.
Lion Tony Santos of the Citrus Heights Lions who requested our help with labor and equipment for a tri tip dinner to aid the victims of Puerto Rico will be on November 18th. Check with Lion Brad to see what help he needs.
We will also once again help the Elk Grove High School drill team with their spaghetti dinner fundraiser, with Lion Pancho as the head cook.
Next month coming up quick is our annual Crab Feed & Shrimp fundraiser at the SES Hall on December 2nd. Tickets are $50.00 and available now. Please bring in a raffle prize donation for this event. It’s one of the many ways you can help support your club and is much appreciated, along with selling tickets! Sell! Sell! Sell!
You can still participate in the Toys for Troops with a donation, just bring in an unwrapped toy and Lion Andy will make sure it gets to the right place.
Coming up our December Family Christmas Dinner will be on December 11th. We will most likely collect a check or cash for the Elk Grove Food Bank in place of paying the club for dinner. Our board meeting will be on December 18th.
MONTHLY REMINDERS:
Save your recyclables!
Tell your friends and family to donate to the Big Day of Giving web site for Elk Grove Lions Foundation!
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
