President’s Message 
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
