President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
As usual, we had a great December. Starting off with our Annual December Crab Feed on December 7th. Not quite a sell out, but pretty close. Everyone I talked with had a great time and really enjoyed the food. We also had a great Christmas Dinner for our members and their families. Not very many kids this year though. We collected hundreds of dollars and canned goods for the food bank; so thanks to all who attended and donated.
In January, we already have a busy schedule in place. Of course, we have the breakfast at the Senior Center on the 11th, then our first meeting on the 13th. This meeting promises to be very busy. We have a speaker from foster youth scheduled to talk and we will do a presentation of our check to the firefighters burn institute. There maybe some guest Lions as well! Look for the agenda for the next general meeting in the next few days! Our board meeting is set for the 20th followed by the Stockton Crab Feed and a Spaghetti feed for a local elementary school on the 24th.
Instead of a regular dinner meeting on the 27th, plan on joining us for our Annual Lions Club Speaker Contest. Be there to cheer for our local high school students as they compete for recognition and contest winnings to support their college career. Hopefully one of our local speakers will make it to the State finals.
As we say goodbye to 2013, I know that we will move forward in 2014 with more support for our local community in the new year. We will be looking to add a few new members as well. Let’s start the year off right by selling out our March Crab Feed by the middle of February. Tickets an be purchased online on our website at www.ElkGroveLionsFoundation.org. So I hope that you all had a great holiday and look forward, as I do, to a prosperous New Year!!
