Lion President Jack Edwards

     Thanks for all your help in a very busy February and getting ready for our March Crab Feed.  We started out the month helping Lion Joe review several hundred scholarship applications. On Friday the 10th as we hosted the bar for the memorial service for Mary Lewis. Of course, Lion Jim & Lion Don handled the Senior Center Breakfast on Saturday the 11th. At our 2nd Monday meeting we will be hosted the Student Speaker Contest at 6:00 at the Senior Center. Our winner from last year returned, but lost to Prentice Hitt from Elk Grove High School. The Zone contest is set for March 6th. On the 16th, Lion Taka and crew worked the Blue & Gold Event for Pack 179. Lion Pancho and crew worked the Markofer Spaghetti Feed on the 17th and Lion Weaver and crew  worked the Pleasant Grove High School Burgers and Brew event at the Pavilion at Elk Grove Park. And finally, at our 4th Monday meeting we announced the start of the election of officers for 2017-2018 year.

     Coming up in March we will be almost as busy. We start the month with our Crab Feed on March 4th, followed by the Zone Student Speaker Contest on March 6th. On March 10th we will be hosting the bar for the Soroptimist Martinis and Merriment event. Lions Don & Jim and crew will be handling the Senior Center Breakfast on the 11th followed by our 2nd Monday meeting on the 13th. We will continue with the nominations for officers at that meeting and I expect a visit from Ed Smith to talk about a Student Speaker Fundraising event. We will also be joining the Pride of Laguna at Colton Insurance for the 3rd Annual Eyes across California for a statewide eyeglass collection event. After the board meeting on the 20th, we will move forward with another busy week. I will attend a CSD Master Planning Meeting on the afternoon of the 21st followed by the Chamber of Commerce mixer that evening. The theme of the night will be Elk Grove’s non-profit organizations. I have signed up to staff a booth and hope for a few members to assist. Friday the 24th is also double booked. We have a Regional Student Speaker Contest, if our winner moves forward, and the Spaghetti Feed at Pleasant Grove Elementary. On Saturday the 25th, we have the Mel Oneto Memorial Pasta Feud and the Delta Lions Club Celtic Irish Tea. We end the month at our 4th Monday meeting with more nominations for officers from the floor. Keep in mind that we will be voting for our board on April 10th.

     I hope to see all of you at our upcoming activities.
