Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community. We are looking forward to a busy and exciting year. Thanks again for those of you who voted for me as your president and for those who have stepped up and will continue to step up to help us succeed with our mission, To Serve.
We will be starting the year off with plenty of activities on our calendar. In addition to our meetings, we will be assisting the Elk Grove Food Bank at their annual Run4Hunger by providing parking control and general assistance. We will follow that with hosting our monthly Community Pancake Breakfast on the 2nd Saturday of July.
During the last 4 days of the month, we will handle parking control for the Strauss Festival at Elk Grove Park.
If that is not enough, on the Saturday that we will be handling parking for the Strauss Festival, we will be cooking pancakes and providing the sight van for the annual Child Spree at Kohl’s which is managed by the Optimist Club.
I call that getting the year off to a great start.
Next month we will handle the cooking at the Campout in the Park for the CSD and provide a dinner for the ski group at Shortline Lake.
Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

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.
Membership is by invitation.
