President’s Message 
Lion President Jack Edwards
Well, we are now almost half way through my presidency. We had a great November thanks to all of you. We hosted the pancake breakfast for the Senior Center on the 12th of November. We also had a great Thanksgiving Dinner Family Night on the 14th.
I was unable to be at the board meeting on the 21st, but 1st VP Lion Sharon handled it well.
Of course, the big event of the upcoming month is the Crab and Shrimp Feed on December 3rd. Hopefully all of you have sold plenty of tickets so that we have a successful fundraiser.
We have a Senior Center Pancake Breakfast on the 10th, followed by our December Family Christmas Dinner on the 12th with Lion Don and his cooking crew on the job. Rather than paying the club for the dinner, we will be collecting a check or cash for the Elk Grove Food Bank. Please plan to bring cash or a check made payable to the Elk Grove Food Bank Services in the amount of $10 or more.
Lion Joe Tallerico and his crew will be handling the traffic at the Elk Grove Food Bank’s Christmas Food Box event at the Creekside Church on the morning of the 19th. We will also have a board meeting on the 19th at the Senior Center.
I hope to see all of you at our upcoming activities.
