ELK GROVE LION SELECTED AS CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
The Elk Grove Citizen of the Year is truly a community award. The recipient of the Elk Grove Cit-
izen of the Year award is honored at a banquet held on the first Monday in November each year. The award and banquet are co-sponsored by several local service organizations. Some of the co-
sponsors include the Elk Grove Lions Club, Elk Grove Optimist Club, Pride of Laguna Creek Lions
Club, Rotary Club of Elk Grove, Rotary Club of Laguna Sunrise and the Soroptimist International of Elk Grove.
Over the years, several members of the Elk Grove Lions Club have been selected to
receive this honor. Proceeds from this event benefit the Elk Grove Citizen of the Year scholarship which is given to a qualifying high school senior.

Every year, the people of Elk Grove honors an Elk Grove citizen who has contributed greatly to
our community and is an example of the meaning of giving. Since 1955, representatives from dif-ferent Elk Grove community service organizations have presented this annual award honoring an
area resident who has rendered outstanding services directly to the Elk Grove community. For 2017-2018, the committee has selected another Elk Grove Lion to be honored as the citizen
of the year at the awards banquet in November. Please join us in congratulating Lion Pancho
Sanchez and the Elk Grove Citizen of the year.
LIONS EDUCATION FOUNDATION (LEF) GOLF CLASSIC
On September 16, 2017, the Lions Education Foun-
dation (LEF) held their first annual fundraising event
of the Lion Year 2017-2018 – the LEF and UCDA-
VIS Eye Center Golf Classic at the Rancho Murietta Country Club Golf Course, Rancho Murietta, CA.
This year, LEF and UC Davis Eye Center Pediatric
Eye Care Service decided to team up and sponsor
the golf tournament since the Eye Center was one of the recipients of the proceeds of the Tourna-
ment. As expected, it was a rousing success!
This was the first time that the Annual LEF Golf
Tournament was held at the prestigious Rancho
Murietta Country Club course. The North Course, which premiered in 1971 and later redesigned in
1968 by Arnold Palmer, has proven to be a chal-
lenge for amateurs and professionals alike. The
third and fourth holes on the North Course have been called the two most challenging holes back to
There was a total of 26 teams for a total 104 golf-
ers. One team was from the Shiba Lions Club of
Japan. Their golfers were sponsored by the Sena-tor Lions Club and their team members were: Sa-
dao Furukawa, Miwako Furukawa, and Keiko Mi-
zushima along with Lion Ron Sanui from Senator
Lions Club. The LEF tournament was strongly sup-ported by Districts 4-C5; the UC Davis Eye Center;
and Lions from throughout MD-4.
We extend our congratulations to the following
golf tournament winners: 1st Place: Team Taste
of Tuscany #13 (with a 59 total score) led by Bob
Cale along with Ramon Fonseca; Aaron Toto; and David Neal; 2nd Place: Team Pinkerton #7 (2nd
Place tied with a 60-total score and tie was broken
by the Rancho Murietta Pro Shop) led by Lion Mike
Pinkerton along with Lions Hap Carel; John Van Doren; and John Bennett; Highest Score: Team
Gold Country Lions Club; Longest Ladies
Drive: Ladies - Clarissa Tendero - Schermer
Eye Associates; Longest Drive: Men - Ramon
Fonseca - Taste of Tuscany; Closest to the Pin: Men - Gary Gall from the Cameron Park Swing-
ers; and the Putting Contest Winner: Lion
Sheri Retzlaff from Pride of Laguna Creek Lions
Club.
During dinner, trophies were presented and op-
portunity drawings were held at the Rancho Muri-
etta Country Club. This year’s LEF Golf Tourna-ment beneficiary is LEF and the UC Davis Eye Cen-
ter Pediatric Eye Care Service.
On behalf of Past District Governor Andy Ander-
son, Golf Tournament Chair; his Committee and
Holland Adams-Lattin, UC Davis Eye Center and
Staff; and the LEF Board members, we would like
to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to
all our loyal golf players; sponsors; raffle donors;
and volunteers who in any way made this event a
success! A special thanks to the Rancho Murietta
Country Club and their staff for hosting the LEF
and UC Davis Eye Center Golf Classic Dinner.
We look forward to seeing everyone next year.
Congratulations for a job well done!

PCC DEREK LEDDA FUNDRAISER
Dear District 4-C5 Lions,
Thank you for all your support helping PCC Derek Ledda win the endorsement of MD-4 for Inter-national Director. As all of us are keenly aware, we will need to renew our efforts in support of
Derek to get him elected July 2018. The committee has agreed to a fundraiser (see below) to help offset necessary expenses for the success of his campaign! Tickets are available for an opportunity
drawing for the Las Vegas International Convention package. Thank you for all your support. MD-4 Lion of the Year, Bernie Milmoe

LCI CENTENNIAL SERVICE CHALLENGE REPORT
LCI Centennial Report for September 2017
Today, we have 42 clubs that have taken part in at least one project for
the LCI Centennial Service Challenge. LCI records show us as having
34 clubs completing two or more projects for a 63%. LCI has finally added a fifth area for the service challenge and that is Diabetes.
So to all of our Club Secretaries, Excellent job on reporting your clubs
service hours for the LCI Centennial Service Challenge. Please keep up the great work and reporting. If your club has completed a project that would be in the Diabetes
area, you can re-report this project on your Monthly Activity Report.
I have visited several clubs in the past month explaining what a Legacy Project is. If your club
would like me to visit your club, please let me know.
A Legacy Project is an opportunity to showcase your project, your service and your club to the
community. There are 3 levels that your club can be involved with:
Level 1 – Raise Your Community Visibility by posting a new Lions Logo Sign, donate a park
bench, dedicate a statue or sponsor a fountain in a local park.
Level 2 – Provide a community Gift by refurbishing a park or playground, build a footbridge over a busy road, fund resources for the visually impaired or donate a vehicle to a community organi-
zation.
Level 3 – Make a Community Impact by building a clinic, expanding a library or school, developing
a training center or equip an area hospital.
Which level your club choses to take part in, should be identified with a sign or plaque indicating the project was donated by the local Lions Club. Note: Your Legacy Project can be completed in
a community other than your own.
Last, your club needs to showcase your project. Dedication ceremony, write-up in the local community paper or a report on your local TV/radio station are some of the way to promote
your Legacy Project.
