As unusual, we have been holding our meetings online using Zoom. All members who have email addresses listed with the club have been sent these meeting notices. At this time, I know of only one member who chooses to not use email and, of course, who has not received these email notices.
Remember that we are only doing two meetings per month during the Covid-19 situation. We have our board meeting on the 3rd Monday Board Meeting and our regular 4th Monday meeting so that we can advise members who did not attend our board meeting what transpired during the board meeting. All members are welcome to our board meetings.
The January board meeting will be on the 18th and we will have our regular 4th Monday meeting on the 25th.
It has been pretty quiet during the holidays since we did not have our annual Crab Feed on the 1st Saturday in December. Other than our board meeting in December, the only other meeting was a Zoom meet and greet with the new CSD Fire Chief, Felipe Rodriguez. After the meeting, Dan Quiggle, who coordinated the meeting, told me that he wanted to sign up as a Lion. So, it looks like we will start the new year with a new Lion in our club.
Apparently we have a new Administrator of Parks and Recreationat CSD. His name is Phillip Lewis and we are in the process of scheduling a Zoom meet and greet with him as well.
I have been working closely with CSD to get our annual contract in place. I will provide an update at the next meeting.
I continue to be so very proud to be a part of such a great community minded organization, the Elk Grove Lions Club.

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.
