Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
In addition to our usual activities, we had the announcement of nominations for our officers at the meeting on the 13th of February and the first reading of nominees on the 27th of February. The second reading is scheduled for the 13th of March with the vote on the 27th of March.
We started the month of January with plans for our monthly pancake breakfast on the second Saturday of the month. We expect Post 55, American Legion Elk Grove, to join us again as they have made this a regular part of their calendar. They made arrangements with CSD to have access to a separate room for their social hour and breakfast.
As usual, we have plans for our regular monthly meetings and our board meeting.
Some of our members attended the District Meeting on February 4th and will be in attendance at the Delta Lions Club Celtic Tea on the 11th of March.
We hosted our annual Student Speaker Contest on the 13th of February. We had only one speaker, and is going on to the Zone contest on March 17th.
Our District Convention is set for April 21-23 here in Sacramento. We are doing the bar for the Soroptimist at their Martinis and Merriment event on the 25th of March.
We will also have our regular March Tri-Tip Drive Thru to support the 4-H and FFA students at the County Fair in May.
Don’t forget that we are hosting a fun get-together for our club on April 1st. It will be a shrimp feed fundraiser to support our Admin Account.
All together, February was a great month. Our plan to have a visit from our District Governor and his Cabinet at our February 27th dinner meeting was moved to March 27th because the District Governor was snowed in.
We have had a couple of potential new members attend our meetings. David Myrick and Teresa Anderson. We are looking forward to them becoming new members soon.
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.
