Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
Well, I have returned as your president for another term. Thanks again for believing in me and asking me to step up one more time. I am looking forward to a great year, as usual.
This month, as we transition, we will be buys with our regular meetings and our community pancake breakfast.
I am looking forward to the Past President’s BBQ as well as the Boy Scout Award Banquet, the Delta Lions Club pear bread baking, the Strauss Festival and of course, the Kohl’s Child Spree.
Next month we have the camp out n the park, the EG Historical Society Raising the Barn event and the FFA and Staff breakfast at Elk Grove High School.
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

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.
