President’s Message 
President Warren Weaver’s Message:
Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.
In addition to our usual activities, we had another great pancake breakfast on the 11th, although several of our members were in force at the Delta Lions Club’s annual Celtic Tea that morning.
When it comes to membership, you will see below that we are working on two new members for next month, but for this month we have a new member transfer from another club in our area. Welcome to Eva Zhou. She is currently serving as the Zone Chair for the Crocker Zone. She will continue to serve in this capacity until the end of June. She may also bring a new member with her and we are looking forward to having her as a part of our club.
Several members attended the Zone Student Speaker Contest on the 17th. Our contestant did very well but unfortunately did not win and move forward to the Region contest. The candidate from the Delta Lions Club will be moving on to the next level.
On the morning of the 18th, Lion Jack & PDG Andy assisted the Pride of Laguna Lions with the Eyes Across California event at the CSD parking lot on Elk Grove Blvd. Later that day, PDG Andy and our crew did a great job running the bar at the SES Hall. It was the Inaugural Crab Feed – in the memory of Kim Collier, a former student at Cosumnes High School who was killed in Berkeley. One week later the same crew assisted the Soroptimist at their Martinis and Merriment event on the 25th. The following morning, some of our members assisted with the Running of The Elk at District 56 where our crew prepared hundreds of pancakes for the runners and their families. By the time the run ended, there wasn’t a pancake in sight as the hungry crowd of runners consumed them all.
On the 27th, we had a visitation by the District Governor, Tim Luckinbill and members of his board. We also held the election of our officers for next year. As you will see, most of our board was willing to stay on another year as we welcome in our new president, Bob Shipley.

We kept busy the following week with our Drive-thru Tri-Tip dinner where we served over 300 families on the 29th to end a very busy month.
We are looking forward to a very busy April as well starting with our Shrimp Dinner at the Albiani Recreation Center. We are very pleased to announce that we received a donation of wine from the Peirano Estate Vineyards in Lodi for that dinner.
Also coming up in April we will have our 1st vice president running his first regular meeting and his first board meeting. We will be bringing on two new members at our meeting on April 10th, but we will talk more about them next month.
Finally, several of our members will be attending the District Convention in Sacramento on the 21st-23rd of April.
Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver |
