President John Muegge’s Message: 

Fellow Lions, Friends of the Elk Grove Lions Club and our Community. It was truly an honor to have been given the opportunity to serve as president this past year.

I would like to thank the board officers for their commitment to our club and dedication
to the community during these difficult times. We have suffered from Covid -19, election
strife, and fires that have affected the lives of millions of Californians. We have
persevered through tough times to continue to serve the community of Elk Grove and
beyond.

Club members, thank you for supporting the club as we have supported the community
this year. The Lions Club cannot make it without your service.

It has been an interesting year. We are coming out of the pandemic, or so it would
seem. We are back in a remodeled and newly dedicated Albiani Recreation Center. We
have returned to having regular dinner meetings but have decided to continue with
online Zoom Board Meetings. We have yet to have a Shrimp and Crab Feed but we
compensated by having a tri-tip drive thru dinner which really did well. We are doing the
Community Pancake Breakfasts again but with a more equitable split of costs and
profits with CSD.

I would like to congratulate Lion Jack and his wife Tracy for being chosen as the 2020
Elk Grove Citizen of the Year. I was glad to be able to attend the ceremony which was
delayed by Covid-19. Likewise, I would like to congratulate Lion Warren Weaver who
was one of 7 people inducted into the Elk Grove Hall of Fame.

While the Elk Grove Lions did not have a crab feed, the Theta Tau Theta Crab Feed came back
for 2022.

Finally, to Lion Warren Weaver, the club’s new President, I wish you the best in the
coming year. I am sure that you are embarking on a familiar trail as you have a vast
amount of experience serving the Elk Grove Lions and the Elk Grove community and
will have no problem serving as President. I am looking forward to serving on the Board
under your leadership next year.

Sincerely,
Lion John Muegge

President John Muegge’s Message: 

We are almost at the end of my year as President of the Elk Grove Lions Club and I must say that I very much appreciate your support over the past several months.

We accomplished a lot this year even though we were still working part of the time under the Covid-19 rules.

Thanks to the support at the events this past month. We assisted the Elk Grove Historical Society on two of their events this past month.

We also gathered a strong showing at the County Fair for the Buyer’s Breakfast and the support of the FFA & 4-H who were selling their livestock at the annual sale. Thanks again to Lion Warren for the great fundraiser at the end of March so that we are able to support the FFA & 4-H students at the county fair.

As we finish this month, I have only one month left to serve. Looking forward to assisting incoming Lion President Warren Weaver as he steps up in July.

President John Muegge’s Message: 

March was a busy month, as we get back into the swing of things.

We voted to support Canine Companions as well as the Deaf Campers with donations to their respective organizations. We also supported the Meet Me on the Red Carpet for Pleasant Grove High School with a dinner BBQ on March 11th.

We are booked for upcoming events in April and May as we move forward this year in support of the EG Historical Society events.

As we moved forward with our Student Speaker Contest at the Zone level and at the Region level, the student from the Delta Lions Club won and has moved forward to the District level contest

Thanks to Lion Warren we had a great fundraiser at the end of March so that we are able to support the FFA & 4-H students at the county fair.

  • Time to start thinking about club officers. 1st VP will need people to step up. We will need a club secretary as Lion Jack already has too many jobs and someone else needs to Jason said he would continue as treasurer.
