President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     I am just into my second month as the president of our club, and I missed the board meeting but knew that I had it covered. Unfortunately, too many other board members were gone in July, and we did not have a quorum for the meeting. As you will see below, there are no board meeting minutes for July.

     That did not keep us from having a busy month of July. We had our monthly pancake breakfast at the Senior Center. We also assisted the Strauss Festival with their parking control and still had enough members to cook pancakes for the Kohl’s Child Spree that same weekend. There are times that our members make it easy to be the President because they always step up to the plate to provide assistance to our projects.

     In the coming month, we are looking forward to roasting our own Past District Governor Andy Anderson on the 15th of August at the Roseville Lions Clubhouse. That will be followed by the Annual International Food Fair on the 17th. You will find links to flyers for both of these events below.

     Please join me in continuing the tradition set by our past club presidents in keeping the Elk Grove Lions Club at the top of the list of service clubs in Elk Grove.

President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President Pancho Sanchez

     Before I jump into my message to the membership, I want to first take a moment in silent prayer over the loss of one of our own, Lion Gary Dapelo. Lion Gary will be missed by all of us in Elk Grove as well as throughout the world of Lions. Our prayers to out to his family and especially to his wife, Lion Laurie Dapelo, during this time of loss.

     As I take over as the new President of the Elk Grove Lions Club, I am thankful that I will have Past President John Zehnder, Jr., there to assist me. He did a great job this past year, leading us to our second year as the best club in the district. I also want to congratulate our Lion of the Year, Lion Taka Blackburn and our most recent Melvin Jones Fellow, Lion Warren Weaver. Both of these Lions are on my new board and I know that they, along with the rest of my board, will help me lead the club to a great year.

     We ended the year at our annual installation dinner were several Lions were recognized for their assistance to the club over the past year. The following Lions received awards and let me congratulate each of them as you enjoy the photos below: Lions Dan Pearson, Bill Hibbard, Bill Kirkland, Jack Edwards, The Muggees, Bob Brewer, Rick Schriver and of course Lion Taka Blackburn and Lion Warren Weaver.

     We will start off the month with a pancake breakfast on July 4th at the Elk Grove Pavillion, followed by many more events over the coming months. We will also enjoy roasting our own Past District Governor Andy Anderson on the 15th of August at the Roseville Lions Clubhouse.

     Please join me in continuing the tradition set by our past club presidents in keeping the Elk Grove Lions Club at the top of the list of service clubs in Elk Grove.

Let’s remember PDG Gary Dapelo. A long time member of our Elk Grove Lions Club, Gary lost is battle with cancer.

GaryDapelo

No matter what I write about Gary, it will always be inadequate to tell the story of how much he gave to his community and how much he was loved by his family.I think it is best to share the piece written by his live long partner and wife, Lion Laurie Dapelo in the District Newsletter, The Pride.

Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.

     As usual, we had a busy May,closing it out with a visit to the Pride of Laguna Lions Club. It looks like we will have a busy June as well, starting with a visit to the Mahalarika Lions Club on June 3rd. On June 4 we are helping with “Seniors in the Park”. Many of our members will be supporting the Pride of Laguna Lions Club at their beer fest; either working or as paying participants on Friday the 13th. On the 14th we will have our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center. Later that evening is the Melvin Jones/New Member dinner at the Cert Center (the old Army Depot). I hope some of our new members will be able to attend along with any of our Melvin Jones award winners from the past.

     Our installation dinner is set for June 16th.  We will also be working the parking for the Elk Grove Scholarship Foundation’s Spotlight at the Ranch on June 21st. On June 27th, our members will be supporting the community at the Elk Grove Charity Bowling Event. So come out and help wherever you can as the chairpersons will really need us all!  As always, we do need to bring in some new members to help us with our efforts to serve our community. So, please join me in bringing in a new member to the club. Ask a friend, who you believe would make a great addition to our club, to join us for dinner!

     We have had a great year. We earned the Top Club award at the District convention in addition to some other awards. I was honored to be serving during the same year as our District Governor Andy and saw our club participate in a huge number of activities for our community. My term as president is coming to a close and we will be installing the new president and his board later this month. I have thoroughly enjoyed my term as president of your club. Thanks for trusting me to lead the club over the past year.

Announcements UpArrowPurple

Let’s reach out to our fellow member, Lion Sterling. As many of you know, Lion Sterling has been in a care facility since his stroke. His wife sent a little note along with his dues payment stating that he would love to have some visits from his Lion friends. Call ahead to make sure he is not out on a field trip.
