President’s Message

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

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

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

President Warren Weaver’s Message:

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

It has been a very busy year as we prepare to install our new president, Bob Shipley, into office this month. I want to thank you for entrusting me to lead our club over the past year. I have thoroughly enjoyed being your president and all of the great things we were able to accomplish.

I want to thank my board for their support. Together we had a great year.

As we move forward next month, I know that Lion Bob Shipley will take the reigns of our club and that we will continue to serve our community.

Sincerely,
Lion Warren Weaver
