President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.

I thought September was busy, but nothing compared to October. Again this year, the Lions staffed the harvest Festival Parking for two days early in the month, followed by our cooking for the Franklin Elementary School’s Harvest Festival on the 11th. On Saturday the 12th, we had our monthly pancake breakfast for the Senior Center, followed that evening by cooking a dinner for the Pleasant Grove High School Aggies.

The following Saturday, the Lions cooked a fabulous dinner for the Strauss Festival Dinner and Dance. No only did we cook, but one of our members bought a table to support the event, inviting several friends to a special dinner event. I think he even sold a couple of crab feed dinner tickets for our December Crab Feed while visiting with fellow dinner guests.


If that was not enough, we were recogized at three separate venues for our volunteer work in our community. On October 1st, we were recognized by the School District for our support of two major events to support our local schools earlier in the summer; our Carnitas Festival and our work on the Kohl’s Child Spree. On the 22nd, we attended a thank you event for our assistance and participation at this year’s Elk Fest. Finally, we received the Mayor’s Volunteer Award at a ceremony at the City Council Meeting on the 23rd.

If that was not enough, there were several other events in the District that were available to our members such as the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Of course, in addition to the usual NCLSA meeting, and the LEF meeting, there was a Zone meeting in Elk Grove this month. If you were hungry, there were other events in the district involving food and we didn’t have to cook. The LEF 49’r Tail Gater Lunch and the NCLSA Chili Cook off were held in October. Finally, let’s not forget the Marharlika Lions 1950’s Dance Party on the 12th.

So, we head into November and the beginning of the holiday season with more events on our club plate. We have a fundraiser that I hope all lions will help make a success by selling those ‘tri-tip’ dinner tickets. We are also preparing for the big crab feed fundraiser as well. I am hoping to get a couple of visitations in so we can see what other clubs are doing in the way of service. I invite all of our members to get involved anyway they can as the success of our club rests on all of us. I pray you all have a great thanksgiving a holidays with family and friends.

Again we lived up to our motto, “We Serve”.

Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.

As usual, we had a very busy September and it looks like our schedule for October will keep us busy as well. If you thought we would be resting on our laurels after winning club of the year, you just don’t know the Elk Grove Lions Club. During the past 30 days, we had our regular two dinner meetings, with outstanding dinners I must say, our board meeting as well as 5/6 additional public service activities. We started the month with our support of the Elk Grove Spotlight event by handling the parking and the intake of vendors on the 12th. On the 14th we cooked for the Senior Center Breakfast, serving in excess of 100 hungry pancake lovers. On the 21st we did triple duty. During the day, one member staffed an information booth and several other members cooked hot dogs and burgers at the annual Elk Fest Family BBQ. We got rained out but that did not slow us down. Other members attended the Wellspring Open House that evening. We weren’t done yet. the following weekend our members provided a Spaghetti Dinner at the Andriani Elementary School.

We are not really slowing down in October either. We already have 4 events scheduled, in addition to our regular meetings. As things ramp up this month it is my hope that more lions will get involved. It would be great to see some new faces at some of the upcoming events. It is also my hope that we get a visitation or two in this month. If there are any suggestions out there please don’t hesitate to voice them.  This is a great club and I am really honored to be the president and leading such a great group of people dedicated to our motto, “We Serve”.

President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.

The new year is off and running and the Elk Grove Lions Club is happy to be supporting activities for the district as well as for the people in our community. During the past month, we had the pleasure of hosting the lunch for the District Cabinet meeting on August 18th. Lion Warren Weaver did us proud with the great lunch he and his crew provided. Our members not only provided lunch, but we also provided training sessions for the District. Lion Jim Switzgable provided the Club Secretary Training and Lion Fred Handley provided the Club Treasurer Training.

Locally, our club hosted the Scout Troop 59 Court of Honor, enjoyed our Past President’s Dinner and cooked a great dinner for the Shortline Lake Water Ski Banquet. As usual, we also hosted the monthly pancake breakfast fund raiser for the Elk Grove Senior Center.

We have several activities schedule for this month, including our support of the Elk Grove Community Scholarship Foundation for their major annual fundraiser, Spotlight Elk Grove.

We also managed visitations to the Pride of Laguna, and to the District Meeting in Galt. I hope we can additional visitations every month. I have received requests for more help from our club that should keep us busy as one of the most prolific clubs in 4C-5. I also hope to see us add more new faces to  the Elk Grove Lions Club so keep your eyes and ears open for potential new candidates out there. Looking forward to a great September.
