President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
January was a fun and busy month. Of course, we had the breakfast at the Senior Center on the 11th, then our first meeting on the 13th. We had a contingent from the foster youth group there to talk about their program. We also presented our check to the firefighters burn institute. You can check out the photos below. To finish off the evening, our friends from the Mother Lode Lions in Diamond Springs captured our bell which led us to schedule a visitation to their club on the February 6th. We expect to have a number of us visit them and have a great time retrieving our bell!
Instead of a regular dinner meeting on the 27th, we had our Annual Lions Club Speaker Contest. The speakers were very good and we are looking forward to seeing our winner at the Zone contest on the 25th of February. Check in with your Sutter Zone Chair, Sheri Retzlaff to see if she needs assistance with the contest. It will be held in the Senior Center. Her contact info is at the bottom of the newsletter. The contest was followed by some great spaghetti thanks to Lion Weaver and his crew.
Some of our members joined the Roseville Host Lions Club at the LEF Soup and Salad event on the last day of the month. As usual, the food and camaraderie were great. We finished the month with a spaghetti feed for over 400 for a Markofer Elementary fundraiser that was very successful.
We are working hard to have a sell out at our March Crab Feed by the middle of February. Tickets can be purchased online on our website at www.ElkGroveLionsFoundation.org. So keep up the great effort to get all those tickets sold! We look forward to seeing you at a meeting in February. We have a few events that we are gearing up for; so make every effort you can to join in.
Join me in bringing in a new member to the club. Ask a friend, who you believe would make a great addition to our club, to join us for dinner! Have a great Valentine’s Day with that special someone and a great month.
One final thought, although I have been your president for only 7 months, it is time to think about the next administration. Begin thinking of Lions or yourself to nominate for next year’s officers. I wish to open nominations by our next general meeting.
