President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

It was very exciting to be part of the selection committee for this year’s Citizen of the Year. The big winner was Elk Grove Lion Jason Springer and Elk Grove Soroptimist and head of the Strauss Festival, Raelynn Springer. Congratulations to the Springers. The dinner to celebrate will be the second Monday in November.
In addition to our monthly meetings and our community Pancake Breakfast, we will be very busy this month with the Great Pumpkin Festival where we will assist with VIP parking followed with the Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival and the PGHS BBQ and supporting CSD Fire by cooking for their training event.
Next month, the hilight will be attending the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year Dinner honoring Lion Jason Springer and Soroptimist Raelynn Springer. As usual, we will only have one dinner meeting and one board meeting so that everyone is free to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

As usual, we had a great time this past month helping our community starting with our monthly pancake breakfast.

We joined together to support Lion Taka Blackburn with the Celebration of Life for his wife, Valerie.
We also supported CSD with their annual campout at Elk Grove Regional Park.
We managed the bar for the Historical Society’s Raise the Barn event. And the FFA students and staff pancake breakfast.
Coming up this month we will supporting EGHS FFA with their spaghetti feed. We will also be part of the selection committee for this year’s Citizen of the Year.
Next month will start out busy with the Great Pumpkin Festival where we will assist with VIP parking followed with the Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival and the PGHS BBQ and supporting CSD Fire by cooking for their training event.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

As usual, we had a great time this past month helping our community starting with our monthly pancake breakfast.

We supported our scouts at their annual BBQ and awards ceremony.

We assisted with the Delta Lions Club’s annual pear bread baking. I think we baked over 600 loaves of bread for their annual fundraiser.

We also supported our friends at the Strauss Festival with parking for their annual event and we provided pancakes and vision testing at the Child Spree at Kohl’s.

Coming up this month we will join together to support Lion Taka Blackburn with the Celebration of Life for his wife, Valerie.
That same day we will be working with CSD for their annual campout in the park. Later in the month we will help the Historical Society with their Raise the Barn event and later at EGHS for the FFA and Staff we will be cooking a pancake breakfast.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver
