President John Muegge’s Message: 

We entered October with fires still being a threat and District calls for resources to assist people who were displaced by the fires. October ended with a series of storms and one last atmospheric river storm that finally ended the fires. We are finally settling down into a routine at the newly christened Albiani Recreation Center (ARC).

We started the month off with a major event. The Great Pumpkin Festival Parking. The event went well after discussions with ARC to reduce the number of staffing hours from 81 to 43. Thank you Lion Taka for assisting with the negotiations with ARC.  Next, we had the return of the Community Pancake Breakfast. Here too, the Lions have negotiated and agreement with ARC which is much more favorable to the Lions.

Along with the breakfast on the second Saturday of the month, we also assisted with parking for the Civil War Days celebration at the Mahon Ranch. It was a busy day.

We finished off a busy month with bar service for the Elk Grove Strauss Showcase event and parking for the Elk Grove Running of the Elk Event were we filled in for the Pride of Laguna Lions Club for on of their pancake breakfasts.

Thanks to the Lions who are always available to support the club and it’s activities. As usual, we supported our friends from the other organizations in our community in October.

Several members of our club attended the Citizen of the Year dinner on November 1st where our own Lion Jack Edwards and his wife Tracey were formally inducted as the 2020 Citizens of the year. It was a great celebration. To top it off, our own Troop 59 were on hand for the posting of the flags ceremony for this event.

The November meetings and the December meetings will be modified. The second Monday in November will be board meeting and the third Monday in November will be dinner meeting. In December, our board meeting will be on the first Monday and the Holiday Dinner will be on the 2nd Monday.

President John Muegge’s Message: 

September came in and left rather quickly as far as I am concerned. In all, it was a fairly uneventful month (pun intended).

We finished August off with the Shortline Lake Spaghetti Dinner and it was followed by the usual
Chicken and Tri-tip Dinner the next week. The events at Shortline are super nice. The lake is absolutely beautiful in the sunset, and you get to watch the slalom ski competition. Kudos to Lions Bill and Jason for cooking the tri-tip and chicken respectively. Bill brought in a monster $11,000 grill which even impressed all of the residents of Shortline Lake. We got quite a few compliments about the chicken and tri-tip. We have never had compliments like that before so that tri-tip and chicken dinner was very special. Thank you, Lion Sharon, for setting up this event and adding over $1200 to our administrative fund. Just don’t drive on anybody’s lawn.

Next, our Sutter Zone Chairman, Jack Edwards, arranged to have the new District 4-C5 Governor, Donna Prince, visit our club during our dinner meeting on September 6 th . We had a very nice visitation and look forward to aligning with the District goals for next year.

Albiani Center Grand opening was held on September 9 th at the Albiani Recreation Center. We were proud to have 7 Elk Grove Lions in attendance. Thank you Lions Taka, Anthony, Rebecca, Marv, Jack, and Warren for representing our club at this event. I was also in attendance.

Our next event was for parking at the Harvest of Hope Fundraising Dinner at the Sheldon Inn. The event proceeded smoothly and the charity auction at the event was a great success from what I heard.

Finally, our last event for the month was the Elk Grove Class of 1981 Reunion held at the Pavilion in Elk Grove Park. The Lions Club ran the bar at the event. Thank you, Lion Bill Kirkland, for arranging this event.

The October dinner meeting will be on the  27th. The board meeting will be on the 18th. We won’t have a 2nd Monday dinner because of the Columbus Day Holiday.

Gov Visitation Meeting by Don

Taka brought up that we can have absolutely no alcohol at the meetings without a license for each meeting.

Bob Husted commented that he has all the liquor, beer and wine at his house that used to be for the dinner meeting. What should he do with it?

John Z has ordered packet for student speaker contest for Pleasant Grove, Elk Grove, and Sheldon High School students.

Anthony wants to chair the student poster contest and bring it to the elementary and middle schools that are feeders to Pleasant Grove, Elk Grove, and Sheldon high schools for their students.

New Business:

 Historical Society Civil War Days: Oct 9 and 10th.

Jim Entricin spoke to the board about the event and its needs. It is at the Mahon Ranch and they need  4 people for  parking for 2 shifts for Saturday and Sunday.  On Saturday the shifts are 4 hours each and on Sunday the shifts are 3.5 hours each.  On Saturday the hours are 8-12 and 12- 4.  On Sunday the shifts are 8 – 11:30 and 11:30 – 3.  A shift gets the parker into the event which is has a cost of $10 for the general public and $8 for seniors, veterans, and students.  They supply vests and flags and the parker collects no money.

A motion was made by Taka and 2nd by Anthony to let any Lion who wants to volunteer for a shift.  The club will not guarantee any number of shifts.  We will give a count of the coverage to Jim on the Tuesday after the dinner meeting. Note we must wear their vests and not ours. Rebecca will send an email to Jim to tell him what is happening.

Great Pumpkin Festival:

Taka spoke about Rebecca asking for clarification of the number of hours and shifts needed by time and parking lot. The needs were stated to be 81 hours over two days in four lots.  (VIP, Staff, Gate 5 and  Bike Valet lots)  Since our needs for the ARC room and the Pavilion have been reduced due to Covid Taka will try to negotiate out two of the lots and reduce the manhours to 48. (He wants to have us not take Gate 5 or the Bike Valet).

Taka reminded the board that the Troop 59 Centennial is coming on Nov 6th and 7th.  The chairperson is Bob Shipley.
