Lion President Sharon Mika

May 3rd was the Big Day of Giving; the 3 J’s (Lions Jack, Joe & Jey) worked hard to have our club listed as one of the nonprofit organizations from this area eligible for on line donations this year. And what a success it was! We have almost 5k in donations, which is AWESOME for our first time! What a great fundraiser! Hopefully we can double this next year! Thanks so much for your support!
Also on this date we had double duty for the Elk Grove Spotlight on Scholars at Creekside Church. As in the past we helped with the setup & drinks and also presented scholarships to this year’s recipients. Congratulations to Megan Mawson and Renee’ Johnson-Smith, winners
of the Elk Grove Lions Club Memorial Scholarship in honor of Paul Betschart, Gary Dapelo, Henry Kloss and Ted Schmidt.
May 12th is our monthly pancake breakfast at the Senior Center and also on that day we will be helping with parking at the Heritage Garden Spring Mother/Daughter Tea. Our dinner meetings for the month of May are on the 14th & 28th, with the board meeting on the 21st.
We will be supporting the Elk Grove High School Senior Sunset Dinner on May 17th and Sheldon High School Senior class pancake breakfast on the 21st of May with our cooking crews.
May 26th & 27th we will be at the Sacramento County Fair supporting our area youths. We will also have a couple of bartenders serving drinks for one of our members son’s wedding on the 26th.
Finally to wrap up May on the 30th we will help with the Senior Day in the Park, next to the Senior Center.
Next month I will be handing the gavel over to our incoming president, Lion Brad Dano.
It has been a pleasure (no really!) to serve as your President this past year! Please plan on attending our installation dinner on June 25th and show your support for our new incoming President!
