President’s Message 
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!
