President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Thanks to all of the members of our club, we had a great November as we served the Elk Grove Community. We started off the month with our service to the Senior Center of Elk Grove with our monthly Pancake Breakfast.

We supported our local veterans by providing 1000 hotdogs and buns. Our friends at the Rotary did the cooking and the Optimist club donated additional food as well.

We spent a large part of the month getting ready for our annual Shrimp and crab feed.

One of the best parts of working with our local partners was that we were able to garner additional support from our Strauss partners for our December Crab and Shrimp Feed. The ultimately purchased in person or online a total of 24 tickets. Thank you very much to Jackie Lewis for all you do to support the Lions Club.

As usual, the club had a great Thanksgiving Dinner thanks to Lion Jim Switzgable. We are looking forward to Lion Don Thompson preparing our Christmas Dinner next month.

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Thanks to all of the members of our club, we had a productive October as we served the Elk Grove Community. We started off the month with our service to the CSD at the Great Pumpkin Festival on October 5th & 6th.

The following weekend, we cooked and served breakfast for the Elk Grove Senior Center. On Friday the 18th, we supported the Elk Grove Elementary School by cooking a spaghetti dinner for their Harvest Festival.

The following night, we staffed the bar for our friends at the Strauss Festival for their annual October Gala. This year it was a 1950’s theme, and it was great fun.

One of the best parts of working with our local partners was that during the evening, we were able to garner additional support from our Strauss partners for our December Crab and Shrimp Feed. They had already committed to 16 tickets. At the Gala, that was increased to 36 tickets. Thank you very much to Jackie Lewis for all you do to support the Lions Club.

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

September was another busy month for the Elk Grove Lions Club. Of course, we cooked and served the monthly breakfast for the Elk Grove Senior Center on the morning of September 14. Later that afternoon, several Lions provided parking support for the Elk Grove Food Bank at their Harvest of Hope event at the Sheldon Inn.

On the 20th, several Lions joined up to provide a Spaghetti Feed for the Arnold Adriani Elementary School PTA.

We had planned on supplying tables and chairs for the American Legion’s PIO-MIA Day to Remember on September 21st, but they were able to obtain chairs from CSD so we helped with their setup and takedown. It was a very moving event.

We also supported the Historical Society’s Pinkerton Picnic in the Park on the 22nd of September by providing one of our BBQs for them. Thanks Lion Warren Weaver for getting it done.

On the 26th, several Lions joined up with our own Warren Weaver to cook for the Map The Future event at Elk Grove Park for the local high school career day event.
