President’s Message 
Lion President Brad Dano
Hello Everyone: Thanks to Lion Jey for an outstanding fundraiser with our Annual Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival. The food was great. The decorations were great, and everyone who attended had a great time. Thanks also to all who sold tickets and who assisted with this great event.
We also had a great event with the Senior Center Pancake Breakfast. Thanks again to Lion Jim and Lion Don for their hard work.
No time to take a break though. Lion Jack has already printed tickets for our December Crab and Shrimp Feed. As usual, it will be on the first Saturday in December. Get your tickets from Lion Jack and SELL, SELL, SELL. This will be our last big fundraiser for the year. Special thanks out to Lion Taka for not only handling the raffle prizes for the Carnitas Dinner, he is the chair person for the crab feed.
If we didn’t have such a dedicated group of Lions, I don’t know what I would do for fundraisers.
You are all a great team and very much appreciated.
