President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Lion President Jack Edwards

     Thanks to all of you who have been supporting our activities this fall. We had a busy October and are looking forward to our Thanksgiving Dinner in November.

     Here is a quick review of what we did since the last newsletter. We supported the Elk Grove Pumpkin Festival on the 1st & 2nd of October. Lion Dano and his crew handled the parking as part of our agreement with the Elk Grove CSD which provides space for our equipment storage. I had a great time visiting with fellow Lions as well as the people who visited the park for the Pumpkin Festival. At our 2nd Monday of the month meeting at the Senior Center we hosted the District Governor and part of his staff. We had a great time.

     We hosted the Senior Center Breakfast on the 8th.  The big event of the month was at the Pavilion at Elk Grove Park. We had our Day of The Dead, Carnitas Festival on October 28th. Lions Lorene and Jay put together a great event. Almost a complete sell out. It was a fun time for all of us who worked or attended the event.

     In November we have our annual Family Thanksgiving Dinner on the 14th and then our board meeting on the 21st. 1st VP Lion Sharon will be handling the board meeting.

     Coming up in December is one of our major fund raising events, the December Crab and Shrimp Feed at the SES Hall.  Please keep selling tickets so that we have a successful fundraiser. Lion Sharon still needs raffle prizes so touch bases with her if you have a raffle prize for the Crab Feed.

     After the Crab Feed, we have a Senior Center Pancake Breakfast on the 10th, our December Family Christmas Dinner on the 12th. 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. We will have a board meeting on the 19th. We also have the traffic control for the Elk Grove Food Bank’s food boxes on the 19th. Check with Lion Jim Switzgable to see if he needs any help on the 10th and Lion Joe Tallerico to see if he needs any help on the 19th.

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

We have dropped Howard Stoll and Donald Veninga.

  1. 1,000 dogs and buns for Veteran’s Day Event.  We are looking into getting buns and hot dogs donated.
