President’s Message  UpArrowPurple

Lion President John Zehnder, Jr.

We had a great November. Not only was it a time to give thanks, but it was also a great month for the club because we were able to thank our members with a great thanksgiving dinner.

Our club hosted a Spaghetti dinner for the Elk Grove High School Drill Team. We also supported the annual Veteran’s Day Parade in Elk Grove. Not only one of the largest in Elk Grove history, but it was probably the largest parade in the county. Several of our members who are Veterans also enjoyed a free meal at Applebee’s on Veteran’s Day. On the 12th of November, our club partnered with Applebee’s to hosted a fundraiser for the Lion’s Club deaf camp.

Several of our members paid a visit to the Fair Oaks Lions Club and invited them to come to one of our future meetings. According to the 8 members that were there, it was a great club meeting and they really enjoyed creating new friendships with fellow Lions.   District Governor Lion Andy Anderson and part of his cabinet participated in their meeting. It was great to be able to do a visitation with our District Governor.

We put together a Drive-UpTri-Tip Dinner fundraiser this month, which brought in some much needed funds to allow us to continue to support our community. A special thanks to Lion Lorene for putting it together and for Lion Weaver and his cooking crew for all their hard work. 

Also this month, our own District Governor, Lion Andy Anderson hosted a district meeting with the Woodland Host Lions Club.

November is behind us, but we are not slowing down for the holidays. We are currently working on our Annual December Crab Feed Fundraiser as well as our annual Christmas Dinner for our members and their families. We have a few other holiday projects as well. We are doing traffic control for the food bank and receiving a lot of requests for projects in the coming months of the new year. I hope to see more of our fellow Lions at these events. 

So, not only do we give thanks because of Thanksgiving, but for being a part of a great organization, the Lions Club, that lives up to their motto, “We Serve”.

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”.

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.

We have a busy month planned for October: We will be supporting the CSD by managing the parking for their Annual Harvest Festival on October 5th and 6th. We have two events on the 12th. Our monthly pancake breakfast at the Elk Grove Senior Center and the PGHS Aggie Dinner that evening. On the 19th we will co-host the Dinner Dance at the Laguna Town Hall with the Strauss Festival organization. We look forward to this joint effort to raise funds for both of our organizations.

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
