Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
As you know, we were busy as usual for the month of October. We started out the month with the Great Pumpkin Festival where we had a new job. Instead of parking cars, we got back to our roots and prepared meals for the CSD staff and volunteers. On Saturday, we prepared Tri-Tip sandwiches, which were very well received. Thank You to Lion Jason Springer for doing a great job on smoking the Tri-tip. On Sunday morning, we prepared breakfast and later we prepared lunch.
We had our monthly pancake breakfast for the community on the 2nd Saturday of October.
Our big event was our Carnitas Feed on the 29th. Lion Jey Strong did a great job of putting it together. Past members, Pancho Sanchez and Agustin Palacios, teamed up with the rest of our Lion cooks to prepare the Carnitas. Of course, Lion Dave King and his wife did a great job with putting the raffle together and Lion Lorene did an outstanding job with the dessert silent auction.
Several Lions will be assisting Lion Lyndon King with the Veterans Day Parade on November 11th. We also got started with the planning process of stepping up to be the Service Club Sponsor of the Holiday Lighting Parade scheduled on the first Saturday in December. Lion Jack Edwards is heading up this project with the assistance of Lion Lyndon King.
All together, it was a great month.
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.
