As noted last month, we were scheduled to have a busy July and we did, all the way up to the end of the month.
We, as a club have already hit the month of July running with the monthly Senior Center Breakfast, the “Community Campout” in partnership with the Cosumnes Community Service District, the Strauss Festival, and the Kohl’s Child Spree. This should make all of us smile with pride as Lions! This in part is what “Lionism” is all about.
My fellow Elk Grove Lions, with your help, I know that we will continue to do our best to serve our community, upholding the Lions Club International’s motto “We Serve.”
Respectfully,
Taka Blackburn

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.
