Well, we are now almost half way through my presidency. We had a great November thanks to all of you. We hosted the pancake breakfast for the Senior Center on the 12th of November. We also had a great Thanksgiving Dinner Family Night on the 14th.
I was unable to be at the board meeting on the 21st, but 1st VP Lion Sharon handled it well.
Of course, the big event of the upcoming month is the Crab and Shrimp Feed on December 3rd. Hopefully all of you have sold plenty of tickets so that we have a successful fundraiser.
We have a Senior Center Pancake Breakfast on the 10th, followed by our December Family Christmas Dinner on the 12th with Lion Don and his cooking crew on the job. Rather than paying the club for the dinner, we will be collecting a check or cash for the Elk Grove Food Bank. Please plan to bring cash or a check made payable to the Elk Grove Food Bank Services in the amount of $10 or more.
Lion Joe Tallerico and his crew will be handling the traffic at the Elk Grove Food Bank’s Christmas Food Box event at the Creekside Church on the morning of the 19th. We will also have a board meeting on the 19th at the Senior Center.
I hope to see all of you at our upcoming activities.

Lions are in 200 countries and geographic areas. We have 45,000 clubs with over 1.3 million members world wide. We have a dynamic history. We are best known for fighting blindness — it’s part of our history as well as our work today. But we also volunteer for many different kinds of projects including disaster relief — across many borders. We serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools with new programs and resources. Internationally, we offer many programs.
We hope you will consider joining our club.
To become a Lion, you must be of good moral character and good reputation in our community.
