President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
As usual, we had a busy May,closing it out with a visit to the Pride of Laguna Lions Club. It looks like we will have a busy June as well, starting with a visit to the Mahalarika Lions Club on June 3rd. On June 4 we are helping with “Seniors in the Park”. Many of our members will be supporting the Pride of Laguna Lions Club at their beer fest; either working or as paying participants on Friday the 13th. On the 14th we will have our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center. Later that evening is the Melvin Jones/New Member dinner at the Cert Center (the old Army Depot). I hope some of our new members will be able to attend along with any of our Melvin Jones award winners from the past.
Our installation dinner is set for June 16th. We will also be working the parking for the Elk Grove Scholarship Foundation’s Spotlight at the Ranch on June 21st. On June 27th, our members will be supporting the community at the Elk Grove Charity Bowling Event. So come out and help wherever you can as the chairpersons will really need us all! As always, we do need to bring in some new members to help us with our efforts to serve our community. So, please 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!
We have had a great year. We earned the Top Club award at the District convention in addition to some other awards. I was honored to be serving during the same year as our District Governor Andy and saw our club participate in a huge number of activities for our community. My term as president is coming to a close and we will be installing the new president and his board later this month. I have thoroughly enjoyed my term as president of your club. Thanks for trusting me to lead the club over the past year.

Let’s reach out to our fellow member, Lion Sterling. As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. His wife sent a little note along with his dues payment stating that he would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip.
