President Warren Weaver’s Message: 

After a very busy July, we had a quiet August. We cooked dinner and breakfast for the scouts and other campers at the Campout in the Park for CSD. Of course, we had our regular course of meetings including a meeting to work on our contract with CSD in the coming year. We had a good turnout for our Community Pancake Breakfast on the 2nd Saturday of the month.

Our Lions also cooked for the Troop 59 Court of Honor this month. We ended the month with a pancake breakfast for the FFA and school staff at Elk Grove High School.

Next month we will have another dinner for Shortline Lake as well as the spaghetti feed for Adreani PTA.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

President Warren Weaver’s Message: 

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community. We are looking forward to a busy and exciting year. Thanks again for those of you who voted for me as your president and for those who have stepped up and will continue to step up to help us succeed with our mission, To Serve.

We will be starting the year off with plenty of activities on our calendar. In addition to our meetings, we will be assisting the Elk Grove Food Bank at their annual Run4Hunger by providing parking control and general assistance. We will follow that with hosting our monthly Community Pancake Breakfast on the 2nd Saturday of July.

During the last 4 days of the month, we will handle parking control for the Strauss Festival at Elk Grove Park.

If that is not enough, on the Saturday that we will be handling parking for the Strauss Festival, we will be cooking pancakes and providing the sight van for the annual Child Spree at Kohl’s which is managed by the Optimist Club.

I call that getting the year off to a great start.

Next month we will handle the cooking at the Campout in the Park for the CSD and provide a dinner for the ski group at Shortline Lake.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver

President John Muegge’s Message: 

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community. It was truly an honor to have been given the opportunity to serve as president this past year.

I would like to thank the board officers for their commitment to our club and dedication
to the community during these difficult times. We have suffered from Covid -19, election
strife, and fires that have affected the lives of millions of Californians. We have
persevered through tough times to continue to serve the community of Elk Grove and
beyond.

Club members, thank you for supporting the club as we have supported the community
this year. The Lions Club cannot make it without your service.

It has been an interesting year. We are coming out of the pandemic, or so it would
seem. We are back in a remodeled and newly dedicated Albiani Recreation Center. We
have returned to having regular dinner meetings but have decided to continue with
online Zoom Board Meetings. We have yet to have a Shrimp and Crab Feed but we
compensated by having a tri-tip drive thru dinner which really did well. We are doing the
Community Pancake Breakfasts again but with a more equitable split of costs and
profits with CSD.

I would like to congratulate Lion Jack and his wife Tracy for being chosen as the 2020
Elk Grove Citizen of the Year. I was glad to be able to attend the ceremony which was
delayed by Covid-19. Likewise, I would like to congratulate Lion Warren Weaver who
was one of 7 people inducted into the Elk Grove Hall of Fame.

While the Elk Grove Lions did not have a crab feed, the Theta Tau Theta Crab Feed came back
for 2022.

Finally, to Lion Warren Weaver, the club’s new President, I wish you the best in the
coming year. I am sure that you are embarking on a familiar trail as you have a vast
amount of experience serving the Elk Grove Lions and the Elk Grove community and
will have no problem serving as President. I am looking forward to serving on the Board
under your leadership next year.

Sincerely,
Lion John Muegge
