President’s Message 
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
By the way, did you get a chance to read this article about our Service Clubs article written by our own public affairs officer, Lion Jack Edwards, published by BeLocal in June? This month, July, the companion article about several of our local non-profit organizations will be published. Thanks Jack for getting the word out about the Lions and the other great organizations in our community. You can read it here, starting on page 71. |
