President’s Message 
Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.
The new year is off and running and the Elk Grove Lions Club is happy to be supporting activities for the district as well as for the people in our community. During the past month, we had the pleasure of hosting the lunch for the District Cabinet meeting on August 18th. Lion Warren Weaver did us proud with the great lunch he and his crew provided. Our members not only provided lunch, but we also provided training sessions for the District. Lion Jim Switzgable provided the Club Secretary Training and Lion Fred Handley provided the Club Treasurer Training.
Locally, our club hosted the Scout Troop 59 Court of Honor, enjoyed our Past President’s Dinner and cooked a great dinner for the Shortline Lake Water Ski Banquet. As usual, we also hosted the monthly pancake breakfast fund raiser for the Elk Grove Senior Center.
We have several activities schedule for this month, including our support of the Elk Grove Community Scholarship Foundation for their major annual fundraiser, Spotlight Elk Grove.
We also managed visitations to the Pride of Laguna, and to the District Meeting in Galt. I hope we can additional visitations every month. I have received requests for more help from our club that should keep us busy as one of the most prolific clubs in 4C-5. I also hope to see us add more new faces to the Elk Grove Lions Club so keep your eyes and ears open for potential new candidates out there. Looking forward to a great September. |
