President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President Bob Brewer

     Thanks, for all of your support during the transition to the new year. We had several events that we supported in July, sometimes 3 events on a single day.  As usual, several members vacationed in July and it was great to see other members step up to fill in, especially for the pancake breakfast at the Senior Center. The past president’s BBQ was a success as well. Towards the end of the month, our members assisted at the Strauss Festival on the evenings of July 23-26 and we cooked pancakes on the morning of the 27th at the Child Spree and that same afternoon our members cooked hot dogs at the Elk Fest. Thanks to Lion Dave and his crew at the Strauss Festival and to Lion Jim for his crew at the Child Spree & Lion Warren and his crew at the Elk Fest. A special thanks to Lion Dan and Lion Jack for working all three events on the 27th.

     As we look forward to August, we have the Senior Center pancake breakfast, the Short Line Lake Dinner, Jr. Eagles sit-down Tri-tip Dinner, Troop 59 BBQ,and the EG FFA Tri-tip Drive Thru dinner.

     One final thing to keep in mind this month is that dues were due on the first of July. We have to pay the first half of our insurance for the year. The dues are still $80.

Dues: If you have not yet paid your dues, you are now late. As you remember, they are $80 per year. Just so you know, $25 goes to MD4, $43 goes to LCIF and $12 is kept by the club. That $12 per member goes into the admin fund. It is not enough to pay our annual insurance bill, which is why we are always looking for a way to bring in admin funds.
We should probably discuss dues at an upcoming board meeting.

Let’s reach out to our fellow members:  

Please keep Lion Heinz in your prayers. He started radiation treatment in December. Give him a call and lend him your support.  He can be reached at (540) 888-3936.

As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. He would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip. He is at Emeritus of Laguna Creek, 6727 Laguna Park Drive, EG, CA. 95758 916-683-1881

——————————————————————–

As usual, we want to send out a special thank you to Dr. John J. Eliopulos, O.D.  for all of his support with our efforts to continue to provide support to people with visual impairments. You can find Dr. Eliopulos’ office at 9074 Elk Grove Blvd., Elk Grove, CA 95624.  

We also send our thanks out to Dr. Diana Holcomb, O.D. for her support of our mission to support people with visual impairments. You can find Crystal View Optometry at 8347 Elk Grove-Florin Road, Suite 123, just north of Calvine Road.

President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Outgoing Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     Well my friends and fellow Lions, I want to thank you for all of your support over the past year. I am very proud that we were again the recipients of the best club of the year in the District for the third straight year. It happened because of all of your hard work. I am looking forward to assisting the incoming president, Lion Bob Brewer this year. Please give him all of the same support that you gave me over the past year.

Incoming Lion President Bob Brewer

     Thanks, I think, for selecting me as your Lion President for 2015-2016. I am looking forward to a busy and productive year. As many of you know, there are a few things that I really want to deal with so that we are all more comfortable with where we are going, and that is the issue of having and managing a budget so that we really know what we can afford to do and so that we are ready for our major fundraisers, our annual crab feeds. Thanks to all of you and Past President Pancho, we had a great 2014-2015 and I am looking forward to more of the same this year.

     We had a busy June and have a busy summer to look forward to as well. A few of our members supported the Pride of Laguna’s annual Brewfest on the 5th at the Laguna Town Hall. Also, as usual, our cooking crew did a great job at our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center.  We were busy all that same day with the Spotlight at the Ranch. We assisted with parking and we also cooked ribs, burgers and dogs for them. With our help, I think this was the most successful Spotlight in years. Thanks to all of you you assisted and especially to Lion Joe for being the lead.

      We also had a lot of fun at our recent installation dinner. Lion Dave Johnson handled the installation of officers and Lion Pancho & Lion Warren and crew did a great job with the Prime Rib with all the fixings

     One final thing to keep in mind this month is that dues are due by the end of the month. If you can pay at the June 22nd meeting that would be great so that we can pay the first half of our insurance for the year. The dues are still $80.

    That is all for now. See you on the 22nd.

President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     Well my friends and fellow Lions, we are at the end of our year and I am ready to step down as your president and welcome Lion Bob Brewer as your new president next month.

     It has been a great year and I am very proud of all of the hard work you have done for your community and Lionism. We again excelled as a club and all of the thanks goes to you, the members, who put in the time and effort to live the motto, “We Serve.”

     We had a busy May and have a busy June to look forward to as well.  As usual, our cooking crew did a great job at our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center.  We assisted with drinks and clean up at the Spotlight on Scholars event at the 1st Babtist Church on May 7th. Our delegates were at the District Convention from May 8-10.  We assisted Relay for Life at Franklin High on May 16th, cooked breakfast for the Sheldon High Seniors on the 21st, and a pancake breakfast for Adriana Elementary School on May 27th.  If that wasn’t enough, during this year’s county fair, May 21-24, we provided breakfast on the 23rd for the FFA & 4H students from Elk Grove and then we cooked breakfast for about 9,000 students and buyers on the 24th.

      Heads up for June as we enjoy the Pride of Laguna Lions Club’s Brewfest on June 5th at the Laguna Town Hall. We also have the Spotlight at the Ranch: BBQ & Country Bands on the 13th of June. Lion Joe is the chair of the event. We will be handling parking as well as cooking for this year’s event. Make sure to sign up and give Joe a hand. We are also doing our monthly breakfast at the Senior Center. Several of the members will be cooking breakfast before heading over to the Mosher Ranch to assist Lion Joe. We are still planning a visitation to Rio Vista on June 2nd and to Fair Oaks on June 11th. We still need a couple more Lions for those events.

     Don’t forget that we will be installing the new president and board of directors at the Installation Dinner at the Senior Center on June 15th. The installation dinner will cost $30 per person. The menu will be Prime Rib with all the fixings, but for those of you who don’t want beef, we will also have chicken and the fixings.You can buy your tickets online, or you can mail your check to the PO Box, or you can bring a check to the board meeting on June 8th. If you are ordering by mail or bringing a check to the board meeting, please identify which dinner you want, Beef or Chicken, and how many of each. If mailing your check, send it to:

  • The Elk Grove Lions Club Foundation
  • P.O. Box 465
  • Elk Grove, Ca 95759
It is our PayPal ordering system. Don’t worry, you don’t have to have a PayPal account to use it. It will accept your credit card. Quick and Easy.
     One final note; as we welcome in the new president and board of directors, we still need a Lion to step forward to fill the 2nd VP slot.
Thanks again for supporting me as your president. I am looking forward to assisting incoming President Bob Brewer as he takes over the responsibilities as our new president.

Announcements UpArrowPurple

June 8th: Board Meeting (enter through the front door, not the kitchen) The Senior Center Board meeting will be using the large room on June 8th in order to meet their requirement to accommodate large public access once a year.  They start their meeting at 3:15 or so.  We hold our board meeting at 7 pm which leaves a chance for our meetings to overlap.

To avoid interfering with their meeting, we will use the Senior Center Library for our Board meeting.  We will need to enter through the front door of the Senior Center so as not to disturb their meeting in the big room.

June 15th: Installation Dinner at the Senior Center. The installation dinner will cost $30 per person. The menu will be Prime Rib with all the fixings, but for those of you who don’t want beef, we will also have chicken and the fixings.You can buy your tickets online, or you can mail your check to the PO Box, or you can bring a check to the board meeting on June 8th. If you are ordering by mail or bringing a check to the board meeting, please identify which dinner you want, Beef or Chicken, and how many of each. If mailing your check, send it to:

  • The Elk Grove Lions Club Foundation
  • P.O. Box 465
  • Elk Grove, Ca 95759
It is our PayPal ordering system. Don’t worry, you don’t have to have a PayPal account to use it. It will accept your credit card. Quick and Easy.

Dues: Time is coming for our annual dues. As you remember, they are $80 per year. Just so you know, $25 goes to MD4, $43 goes to LCIF and $12 is kept by the club. That $12 per member goes into the admin fund. It is not enough to pay our annual insurance bill, which is why we are always looking for a way to bring in admin funds. We should probably discuss dues at an upcoming board meeting.

Don’t wait until June 30th to pay your dues. You can pay them at the end of this month or you can send your dues check in with your installation dinner check.
The best option is to bring 2 checks to the Board Meeting. Mark the memo field as “Dues” for your dues check and mark the memo field “Installation Dinner/Chicken” or “Installation Dinner/Beef” or “Installation Dinner/1 Chicken-1 Beef” for your dinner tickets. We will know if you want to 1 or 2 beef or chicken dinners because the amount would be $30 or $60.

Let’s reach out to our fellow members:  

Please keep Lion Heinz in your prayers. He started radiation treatment in December. Give him a call and lend him your support.  He can be reached at (540) 888-3936.

As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. He would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip. He is at Emeritus of Laguna Creek, 6727 Laguna Park Drive, EG, CA. 95758 916-683-1881

——————————————————————–

As usual, we want to send out a special thank you to Dr. John J. Eliopulos, O.D.  for all of his support with our efforts to continue to provide support to people with visual impairments. You can find Dr. Eliopulos’ office at 9074 Elk Grove Blvd., Elk Grove, CA 95624.  

We also send our thanks out to Dr. Diana Holcomb, O.D. for her support of our mission to support people with visual impairments. You can find Crystal View Optometry at 8347 Elk Grove-Florin Road, Suite 123, just north of Calvine Road.
