President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Lion President Sharon Mika

Our club suffered a great loss this month with the passing of Lion John Zehnder Sr. Lion John Sr. joined the Elk Grove Lions Club in 1953 and became a life member in 1983. That’s 65 years of service!!! He was truly an inspiration to us all as he was still serving the community until just recently and always with a smile!

The pancake breakfast on March 10th at the Senior Center started this month’s activities. Also on that day we celebrated Tracey Edwards as our Woman of the Year at the Delta Lions Club Celtic Tea at the Grand Island Mansion.

March 16th is a busy night. We have double duty with the Pleasant Grove Pasta & Bingo night with Lion Taka as chair and Lion Jack & crew will be at the Soroptimist Martini’s & Merriment at the Falls Event Center.

March 17th is our first ever Corn Beef & Cabbage fundraising dinner at the Elk Grove Pavilion with Lion Taka chairing this new event. We are struggling to fill seats so please help get the word out.

We welcome the community to our dinner meeting on March 26th to come and check us out. If you know someone who would be a good fit for the club this is a good opportunity to bring them to the meeting.

Lions Eyes across California day is also on the 17th of March. We will once again partner with Pride of Laguna to collect eye glasses at Colton Insurance from 9:00 to 2:00. You can also bring your recyclables as Lion Andy has been collecting in preparation for supporting our area youth at the Sacramento County Fair.

Day of Giving Reminder! Please check out the website and look for Elk Grove Lions Foundation to make your greatly appreciated donations!

 Old Business / Status Checks / Chairperson’s Report

Lion Sharon wants to know why we are doing the Delta Tea event rather than a tea in EG. Have the Delta Lions supported the EG Lions?

Events run smooth St. Patrick’s had less attendance but create better monies thanks to Lion  Taka and lots of raffle prices.

John Zehnder expressed his gratitude on the help for his father Lion John Sr’s services

Day of Giving is on line for everyone to give donations and spread the word to other thanks to Lion Joe and Lion Jack for their presentation
