Lion President Sharon Mika

Our next big fundraiser is coming up next month on March 17th, 2018. Keep selling those tickets so that we may have a great turnout for this dinner. Also plan on donating a raffle item for the silent auction. About half of our fundraising income is from the auction and by your donation we won’t have to purchase any items. On February 7th, we have the Chili’s fundraiser night; dine in or take out, a portion of your meal will be donated to our club.
Our monthly pancake breakfast is on February 10th at the Senior Center.
Following that we have the student speech contest on February 12 at the Senior Center at 6:00 with a spaghetti dinner following around 7:00. Please show your support by attending this contest.
February 15th, Lion Taka and crew will handle the Cub Scout Pack 179’s Blue and Gold Dinner. February 17th is the District Cabinet Meeting which we will help host with the Sutter Zone Clubs.
On February 24th, we have the annual Burger & Brews Dinner for PGHS with Lion Dan and crew handling the cooking.
We now have work T-shirts available to purchase. These are a royal blue with the Lions logo on the front and Elk Grove Lions Club on the back. Lion Taka has graciously offered to order these for us; please see him if you would like to order a couple.
And to wrap up February, our dinner meeting on the 26th will be “Swiss dinner” night; the Lions John Sr. and now John Jr. Zehnder along with friends help prepare the sausage each year. We hope to see you at our next meeting!
