President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

As a reminder to all, we voted at a prior board meeting to drop our 2nd Monday Meeting and will be having our board meetings on the 3rd Monday and our general meetings on the 4th Monday of each month except for November and December. The board meetings will be held at Lion Warren’s house through June and starting in July we will have our board meetings at the Albiani Recreation Center.
We are continuing our work on building a standard operating manual that describes the duties of each of the board positions as well as the step-by-step process of managing each function. Our hope is that it will be much easier to bring new members onboard and to have a better mentoring program where new members can step up to run one of our events. This is a task that is much easier with the info in place combined with a mentor to bring you through the process of learning how to manage an event. If you have not yet forwarded your info to Lorene, please do so before our board meeting on the 3rd Monday in January.
We had a great Parade of Lights which works out to be a great fundraiser for our club. According to Lion Jack, we could have used a few additional lions to walk the parade.
The following weekend, we had a great turnout for our Annual Crab and Shrimp Feed. Thanks to all who showed up to support the event, especially since it is on the same day as our Community Pancake Breakfast.
And finally, thanks to our great cooks, we had a wonderful Christmas Dinner event as usual.
A special thanks  to Santa for stopping by to pass out gifts to our kids.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

As usual, we had a great November and are looking forward to a great December.
We had a productive board meeting on the 2nd of December where we discussed our ongoing efforts to put together a standard operating manual that describes the duties of each of the board positions as well as the step-by-step process of managing each function. Our hope is that it will be much easier to bring new members onboard and to have a better mentoring program where new members can step up to run one of our events. This is a task that is much easier with the info in place combined with a mentor to bring you through the process of learning how to manage an event.
Thanks to our great cooks, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner event as usual. We had quite a turnout and are looking forward to a similar turnout for our Christmas Dinner next month.
Don’t you agree that Lorene out did herself with the great decorations. It was a feast fit for a Lion?
Also a special thank you to Lion Brad and his crew who assisted with traffic control for the Food Bank’s turkey dinner box distrubition.
Also in December we are gearing up for the Parade of Lights, our annual Crab Feed and
the move of our Conex to the old Sunset Sky Ranch airport on Grantline Road.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver
