We had a great November. Not only was it a time to give thanks, but it was also a great month for the club because we were able to thank our members with a great thanksgiving dinner.
Our club hosted a Spaghetti dinner for the Elk Grove High School Drill Team. We also supported the annual Veteran’s Day Parade in Elk Grove. Not only one of the largest in Elk Grove history, but it was probably the largest parade in the county. Several of our members who are Veterans also enjoyed a free meal at Applebee’s on Veteran’s Day. On the 12th of November, our club partnered with Applebee’s to hosted a fundraiser for the Lion’s Club deaf camp.
Several of our members paid a visit to the Fair Oaks Lions Club and invited them to come to one of our future meetings. According to the 8 members that were there, it was a great club meeting and they really enjoyed creating new friendships with fellow Lions. District Governor Lion Andy Anderson and part of his cabinet participated in their meeting. It was great to be able to do a visitation with our District Governor.
We put together a Drive-UpTri-Tip Dinner fundraiser this month, which brought in some much needed funds to allow us to continue to support our community. A special thanks to Lion Lorene for putting it together and for Lion Weaver and his cooking crew for all their hard work.
Also this month, our own District Governor, Lion Andy Anderson hosted a district meeting with the Woodland Host Lions Club.
November is behind us, but we are not slowing down for the holidays. We are currently working on our Annual December Crab Feed Fundraiser as well as our annual Christmas Dinner for our members and their families. We have a few other holiday projects as well. We are doing traffic control for the food bank and receiving a lot of requests for projects in the coming months of the new year. I hope to see more of our fellow Lions at these events.
So, not only do we give thanks because of Thanksgiving, but for being a part of a great organization, the Lions Club, that lives up to their motto, “We Serve”.
