Lion President Bob Brewer

     Another month has flown by and we are working to get ready for the December non crab feed. Yes, I am sure that you have heard that the California and Oregon Crab Seasons have been cancelled and we chose to go with a Tri-tip and Shrimp feed. Ticket sales have been terrible. We will be lucky to break 140 seats at our fund raiser. Please keep pushing for a few more 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 fundraiser for the club this winter.      To start of the month, many of us attended the Citizen of the Year on November 2nd where our own Lion Warren Weaver along with his wife, Optimist Pat Weaver, were be honored as the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year. It was a great event and we were all proud to be there for Warren and Pat. Later in the week we cooked for the Elk Grove HS drill team on the 7th. Senior Center pancake breakfast was served on the 14th and several members attended the District meeting on the 21st. Thanks to Lion Don, our members enjoyed a Thanksgiving Dinner.

     As noted above, this month is focused on the annual fundraiser at the SES hall with Tri-tip being substituted for Crab. We will also be doing the pancake breakfast at the senior center, our annual Christmas Dinner for our club and managing traffic control for the Elk Grove Food Bank Christmas Dinner pickup. Another thing to remember is that because of the Christmas Holiday, we will have our Board Meeting on the 7th and our Christmas Dinner on the 14th.

     If I don’t see you at one of the upcoming events or meetings this month, I look forward to seeing all of you at our January 11th meeting. Governor Mike Retzlaff and his Cabinet will be our guests at our first general meeting of the year on the 11th and I would appreciate your attendance.
