We are almost at the end of my year as President of the Elk Grove Lions Club and I must say that I very much appreciate your support over the past several months.
We accomplished a lot this year even though we were still working part of the time under the Covid-19 rules.
Thanks to the support at the events this past month. We assisted the Elk Grove Historical Society on two of their events this past month.
We also gathered a strong showing at the County Fair for the Buyer’s Breakfast and the support of the FFA & 4-H who were selling their livestock at the annual sale. Thanks again to Lion Warren for the great fundraiser at the end of March so that we are able to support the FFA & 4-H students at the county fair.
As we finish this month, I have only one month left to serve. Looking forward to assisting incoming Lion President Warren Weaver as he steps up in July.

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.

New Business:
Request From Running of the Elk for traffic control volunteers on May 15th.
Request from American Legion to assist with Armed Forces Day BBQ on May 21st.
No one stepped forward to volunteer for either of the two new business activities, so no motions were made. I will report back to the people who asked for them to be added to the agenda.
