We have some very exciting news to share in this month’s Stag. First of all, we inducted two new members in October. Please make sure to welcome Isaac White and Agustin Palacios when you see them.
The month of October was quite busy as usual. We started out with our assistance to the Pumpkin Festival for parking on the 3rd & 4th. Thanks to Lion President Bob Brewer for leading the charge. Lion Chris represented us at the Troop 59 Court of Honor on the 3rd. On October 10th, we prepared and served breakfast for the Senior Center and later that evening we supported the End of Watch Brews at the Lent Ranch. Thanks Lion Tom McDaniel for being the lead on this one. The big event of the month was assisting the Strauss Festival with their Masquerade Ball on October 24th.
We are looking forward to a busy November, especially with our December Crab Feed ticket sales. Tickets are available on our website and it has been announced is on the District website as well. Check out our website, on the right side of the menu at www.ElkGroveLionsFoundation.org. Make sure to contact your friends and neighbors so that we can have a successful crab feed as it is the major fundraiser for the club this winter. To start of the month, many of us will attend the Citizen of the Year on November 2nd where our own Lion Warren Weaver along with his wife, Optimist Pat Weaver, will be honored as the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year. Later in the week we will be cooking for the Elk Grove HS drill team on the 7th. Senior Center pancake breakfast will be served on the 14th and several members will attend the District meeting on the 21st. If you are getting hungry for Thanksgiving Dinner, Lion Don is already working on this year’s feast.
One last reminder about dues. They were due on the first of July. We have to pay the first half of our insurance for the year so please contact the treasurer and get your check in. The dues are still $80. If you have not paid, you will be dropped from our roster.

Announcements
Dues: If you have not yet paid your dues, you are now late. As you remember, they are $80 per year. Just so you know, $25 goes to MD4, $43 goes to LCIF and $12 is kept by the club. That $12 per member goes into the admin fund. It is not enough to pay our annual insurance bill, which is why we are always looking for a way to bring in admin funds.
Let’s reach out to our fellow members:
Please keep Lion Heinz in your prayers. He started radiation treatment in December. Give him a call and lend him your support. He can be reached at (540) 888-3936.
As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. He would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip. He is atEmeritus of Laguna Creek, 6727 Laguna Park Drive, EG, CA. 95758 916-683-1881
