President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

Another month has come and gone, and we seem to have been as busy as ever.

As usual we had our regular Monday night dinner meetings and our monthly board meeting. We also had a great time on the 2nd Saturday of the month hosting our Community Pancake Breakfast.
On the 2nd of September we worked a special fundraising event at Short Line lake. Thank you Lion Rebecca for your leadership and Lion Jason for the off site prep work on the dinner meal.
We were scheduled to host our first annual Burgers and Brews Dinner on the 9th of September but pushed it off to next spring because of a lack of ticket sale. It was up against 3 other major fundraisers that were scheduled for that day.
We were asked to support the CSD Pajama Party, breakfast for dinner, at the Laguna Town Hall on the 14th of September. It was a special recognition event for their part time staff and was a great success.
On the 21st of September, we worked a pasta dinner for the Elliot Ranch Elementary School. The attendance was a bit low but it was still a great evening supporting our community.
We held a special event at Uplift Elk Grove on the 26th of September where we prepared dinner for their group and for the public invited to their open house. It was a great event and we are proud of all of the Lions that were in attendance that evening.
We were scheduled to assist Christy Cares at her pasta dinner, but it was cancelled because of a lack of ticket sales. She will try again next spring.
What is coming up for October:
We are in the planning stages for the Great Pumpkin Festival where we will be cooking for the employees and volunteers for CSD. It will be a great break from doing the parking at the event.
One of our very special events on our schedule for the month of October will be the “Fight Hunger, Locally and Globally.”  We have invited members of every service club in Elk Grove along with employees of the City of Elk Grove and CSD. We plan to fill over 10,000 meal packets and to collect at least 50 cases of canned goods for the Elk Grove Food Bank.
We are also scheduled to host an Elk Grove High Pasta Dinner and the Bradshaw Christian High School Fall Festival.
Finally, coming up in October will be our annual Day of the Dead Carnitas Festival on the 28th.
I’m proud of our club and all that we do for our community.  Our schedule is the busiest it has been in years, and that means we are meeting our mission to serve.

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

By the way, did you get a chance to read this article about our Service Clubs written by our own public affairs officer, Lion Jack Edwards, published by BeLocal in June? In July, the companion article about several of our local non-profit organizations was published. Thanks Jack for getting the word out about the Lions and the other great organizations in our community. You can read it here. Below the picture of the monthly magazine you will find the article about the non-profits and the interview with Jack & Tracey.

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

Another month has come and gone, and we seem to have been as busy as ever.

We started off the month with the park dedication for the CSD Dr. Adreani park dedication. We grilled burgers and dogs for the family, guests and community.  The Camp out in the Park was more grilling and griddling with burgers Saturday night and breakfast on Sunday morning.  Additionally we provided a coffee and tea bar for the CSD kick off meeting of the Giant Pumpkin Festival. Lots of time with Elizabeth from CSD.
We were not done.  We cooked for two consecutive weekends for water skiing championships at Shortline Lake.  Shout out to Lion Jason Springer who cooked all of the meat for the events and the sides for the first weekend.  He made it easy on us.  This was a good fundraiser for our club.  Additionally we had our annual pancake and sausage feed for Elk Grove HS FFA youth and staff.
Of course, he had our monthly community breakfast as well as our general and board meetings. Additionally Lion Warren and his crew prepared about 40 gallons of red sauce concentrate for our future events.
Don’t forget that on October 12th, we will host a “Rise Against Hunger” event at the Albiani Recreation Center. We are inviting teams from each of the service clubs to join us.
I’m proud of our club and all that we do for our community.  Our schedule is the busiest it has been in years, and that means we are meeting our mission to serve.

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community.

Another month has come and gone, and we seem to have been as busy as ever. Of course, he had our monthly community breakfast as well as our general and board meetings.

For special events for the month of July, we cooked for the Court of Honor for Troop 59.  We also helped the Delta Lions Club with their annual Pear Bread Making event because the school kitchen they normally use was closed for a much needed remodel.

Of course, at the end of the month, we supported our friends at the Strauss Festival by managing parking for them.

Finally, on the last weekend of the month we cooked pancakes for the annual Kohls Child Spree.

Coming up are several events in August including the Annual Campout in the Park and two dinners for the water ski championships at Short Line Lake on August 26th and then on September 2nd. We will also be doing the Elk Grove High School FFA and Staff pancake breakfast.

Don’t forget that on October 12th, we will host a “Rise Against Hunger” event at the Albiani Recreation Center. We are inviting teams from each of the service clubs to join us.

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

Application for Membership

Lions are in 200 countries and geographic areas. We have 45,000 clubs with over 1.3 million members world wide. We have a dynamic history. We are best known for fighting blindness — it’s part of our history as well as our work today. But we also volunteer for many different kinds of projects including disaster relief — across many borders. We serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools with new programs and resources. Internationally, we offer many programs.

    • We hope you will consider joining our club.
    • To become a Lion, you must be of good moral character and good reputation in our community.
    • Membership is by invitation.
    • If you’re interested in being invited to join Lions Club of Elk Grove, you may want to consider some of the following facts about Lionism:
      • Lions are active.
      • Our motto is “We Serve.”
