As unusual, we have been holding our meetings online using Zoom. All members who have email addresses listed with the club have been sent these meeting notices. At this time, I know of only one member who chooses to not use email and, of course, who has not received these email notices.
Remember that we are only doing two meetings per month during the Covid-19 situation. We have our board meeting on the 3rd Monday Board Meeting and our regular 4th Monday meeting so that we can advise members who did not attend our board meeting what transpired during the board meeting. All members are welcome to our board meetings.
The February board meeting will be on the 15th and we will have our regular 4th Monday meeting on the 22nd.
We are processing the application for a new member who will be voted on at our February 15th board meeting. Dan Quiggle.
I have been working closely with CSD to get our annual contract in place. We are waiting for the signed agreement to be returned to us. I will provide an update at the next meeting.
I continue to be so very proud to be a part of such a great community minded organization, the Elk Grove Lions Club.

It is difficult to realize that I have only one more issue of the Stag to tell you what we are doing and to say thanks to our members for their support.
Over the past month, we have been busy as usual. We went through the process of selecting our new board of directors for the coming year. Congratulations on all of our members who volunteered or accepted the nominations to serve the club in the coming year.
We also sent out renewal notices for our members so that we would start the new fiscal year with all our dues paid up before the start of the year.
As usual, there are several activities that our members are working on had have worked on since the last Stag. Of course, there was the Senior Center Breakfast on the second Saturday of April and we are getting ready for the one in May. Several Lions have volunteered to help the Senior Center with their Butterfly Tea on April 20th. Lion Jey and crew worked the Jesse Baker Games on the 25th and 26th of April and the kids loved the hotdogs and burgers.
As we moved into May, we had our Big Day of Giving fundraiser thanks to Lion Jack and his crew. We received a little over $3,000 in donations. That same day, May 2nd, Lion Warren and his crew are scheduled to work at the Spotlight on Scholars event for the Elk Grove Regional Scholarship Foundation. There are several more events scheduled in May, like the county fair, and I know you will all step up to help the lead Lion as needed.
To finish the month of April off in style, I along with some of the new board members, attended the annual 4C5 conference. Thanks for being there to support our club.
Thanks again for all you have done this past year to make my term as your President so successful.
