President’s Message UpArrowPurple

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

As you know, my term as your president is coming to an end, but I must say that it has been a great experience. I have fully enjoyed leading our club over the past 12 months.  Our community outreach has been at times very hectic and time consuming for many of our board.  That said, we have fulfilled our mission “to Serve” our community.  I feel enourmous pride and gratitude for all that my fellow lions have achieved in the past year.  I’d like to send a heartfelt thanks to my board for supporting me and delivering on our mission. Thanks for all you do.

As we look back on the month of May, we started strong with two big events on the 2nd. First of all was the Big Day of Giving. Thanks to Lion Jack, we were able to receive over $4,000 in donations to allow us to continue to serve our community. Also a special Thank You to Lions Sharon and Brian for hosting a booth for the Big Day of Giving at the Elk Grove Food Bank while Lion Jack and were at another function.

That same evening I was happy to join Lion Jack and two students to give each of them a $1,500 scholarship at the Elk Grove Regional Scholarship Foundation event, Spotlight on Scholarships. A big congratulations to Vatsana Khammanivong from Florin High School who received the Scholarship in Memory of Paul Betschart & Gary Dapelo and to Joy Stewart from Pleasant Grove High School who received the scholarship in Memory of Ted Schmidt & Henry Kloss. Thanks again to Lion Jack who sits on that subcommittee for our club and who had the task of reviewing almost 300 scholarship applications to come up with these two winners. Check out the photos of our scholarship winners in the Activities and Photos Section Below

Our monthly pancake breakfast went smoothly. We were double booked as we also had our club members at the Elk Grove Historical Society Victorian Era Courtship Tea serving as well as handling the parking/traffic control too. The following week, another group of Lions were at Elk Grove High School along with Lion Warren and Lion Lorene to handle their senior graduation rehearsal breakfast, serving over 400 students and teachers. The following week, we were at Barbara Comstock Elementary School preparing breakfast burritos for their recognition of school volunteers. Again, Lion Lorene was there to keep us on task.

Of course, it would not be May without a dozen Lions showing up at the County Fair for our FFA and 4-H students to prepare breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. As usual, we served hundreds of kids and buyers at that event with the assistance of the Pride of Laguna Creek Lions. We had great crews on both days. As always, I know that I can rely on our great group of Lions to be there when we need them. Thanks to all who participated.

Coming up next month will be the Installation Dinner for our incoming officers.
District convention was at the beginning of the month.  Our club received several awards.  We won the “Humanitarian Award” for our Rise Against Hunger event that benefitted that organization and our local EG Food Bank. We also won the “Community Service Award” for our work with Uplift Elk Grove.  The third award our club garnered was the “Community Leadership Award” which acknowledges both the quantity and quality of our community outreach.  Finally, yours truly was awarded the Lion of the Year for the Sacramento district. This honor is a only a reflection of the support I have received from our club.
Thank you to our club members who have contributed by showing up to provide the support for all of our community events and fundraising efforts.  I am proud to call myself an Elk Grove Lion.

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

Spotlight on Scholarship
After reviewing and scoring almost 300 applications, we were able to select and present a scholarship in the amount of $1,500 to each of the following students. It was especially interesting to note that the top 20 students who’s applications I reviewed, also received a scholarship from one of the other supporters since the students apply for multiple scholarships.

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

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

We had a great April. To start off the month, we had our inaugral Burgers and Brews fundraiser. It was a great event. We learned a lot and will probably have to double the lines for both the tater tot bar and the burger line. It went a little slower getting everyone fed than we want.

Our monthly pancake breakfast went well too. The CSD Volunteer BBQ worked out well. Not as many volunteers showed up as expected, but we had a great plan and a great crew to carry it out.

Our big effort for the month was assisting Post 55, American Legion, with their inaugral fundraising dinner. We prepared food and served about 240 people. It was a great success for the Post and a great time was had by all. I know that they really appreciated our support as well as the support of the Pride of Laguna Creek Lions who handled the bar.

To finish off the month, Lion Jack and his crew prepared dinner for Uplift People of Elk Grove on the 30th. It was of little cost to the club because our friends at Post 55 donated the remainder of their sliced tritip and rolls for that dinner. Our only costs were for the salad and dessert. As usual, the folks at Uplift People of Elk Grove were very appreciative.

Finally, Lion Jack has been posting info on our Facebook Page and our Instagram Page for the annual Big Day of Giving which is set for the first Thursday in May. Lion Jack said that he has set a goal of receiving over $4,000 in donations to the club.

Also coming up next month will be our assistance to the Elk Grove Historical Society for their annual spring tea. We are also gearing up for assisting Irene B West with their fundraiser, the EGHS Senior Graduation breakfast, the Barbara Comstock Morse tea and of course, supporting the FFA and 4-H students at the county fair at the end of May.

Remember that we won’t have a dinner meeting on the 27th because the facility will be closed for Memorial Day.

Finally, check out our district awards in the Activities and Photos Section Below

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

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

We had a great March. As usual, most of our efforts revolved around helping our fellow nonprofit organization.

We had our meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday and the board meeting on the 3rd Monday as usual. We also had a great pancake breakfast on the 2nd Saturday.

Here is a list of the events that we worked in March.

  • March 2nd: Senior Center Breakfast Fundraiser
  • March 2nd: Bar for Seth Smith fundraiser at the SES Hall.
  • March 6th: Zone Student Speaker Contest at the Laguna Town Hall
  • March 6th: TriTip Drive Thru Fundraiser for FFA & 4-H
  • March 16th: Bar for Martinis and Merriment
  • March 22nd: Oodles of Noodles Bingo Night at Pleasant Grove Elementary

Thanks for all of your support last month and I know that I can count on you for the coming month where we will prepare and serve dinner for the Red Carpet Dance, Burgers and Brews and the Running of the Elk Breakfast.

Of course the big news is the election of our 2024-25 board of directors. See the info below

Sincerely,
Lion Bob Shipley

We have partnered with Be Local and will have a 1/4 page advertisement in Be Local every month in 2024 so that we can push for new members as well as to highlight what we are doing in the community. Go here to see what we already have planned, in the way of public events, for 2024.
