President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
We had a very busy April. We assisted the Franklin Elementary PTA with a pancake breakfast at Franklin Elementary School. Our club also supported the Running of the Elk half marathon. We also hosted several drive thru tri-tip dinners for our community. We also had our annual golf tournament to support the FFA & 4H in Elk Grove and closed off the month with a Sober Grad night spaghetti dinner for Sheldon High School.
As we gear up for the month of May, we will start with setup and breakdown for the Elk Grove Scholarship Foundation on May 1st, followed by our participation at Western Festival Beer Booth starting on May 2nd and running through the weekend. Make sure to volunteer to lend a hand at these events as we need all the help our members can provide. We won’t slow down because we plan on a visitation to the Galt Lions Club on the 8th. Our monthly pancake breakfast comes up on the Second Saturday in May. We are also in the final planning stage for a wine tasting at McConnell Winery in the middle of the month. That will be followed by the Diabetes Camp, a Cancer Survivors Softball tournament and a couple of pasta dinners and pancake breakfasts for our local high schools. I am sure that I missed something, or at the minimum, we will add a couple more activities before the month ends. So as you can see we have a couple of very busy weekends that will require as many Lions as possible to help. 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!
The year has flown by and it is hard to believe that I just have a few meetings left in my term. It has been great up to now and I hope we can end the year with great turnouts at all our remaining events.

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.
