President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Lion President Sharon Mika

On June 26, 2017 Captain Megan Couto made history as she became the first female to command the Queen’s Guard at Buckingham Palace in London, England. And on this same date the Elk Grove Lions Club installed their first female president, making history right here in our small corner of the world!  Thank you for this honor and opportunity!

 

As usual for July we were pretty busy.  We started off the month with the pancake breakfast at the Senior Center on July 8th with Lion Don & Lion Jim leading the cooking crew.  We also cooked hamburgers and hotdogs Saturday night that same day and pancakes and sausages the next morning for the CSD Community Campout in Elk Grove Park. Lion Brad and myself lead the crews for our commitment to CSD.  On July 22nd, Lion Jack and Lion Jey covered the Elk Fest with help from Lion John Z Jr, and Lion Taka, distributing info on the Elk Grove Lions Club at Morse Park on a hot day!

 

July 27th thru July 30th, Lion Dave and his crews covered the parking for the annual Strauss Festival in Elk Grove Park.  July 29th was the Kohl’s Child Spree where we cooked pancakes and sausages and also had the Sight Van in residence.  Over 65 kids had their eyesight checked and 12 VSP vouchers were issued.  Great Job to Lion Dave and Lion Andy and their small crew for taking care of the kids.

 

We slow down a bit in August with dinner meetings on the 14th and 28th and our board meeting on August 21st..  We will once again be cooking for the Senior Center Pancake Breakfast on the 12th.

 

Thanks so much to Lion Jack, past president, whose help has been immeasurable in assisting the transition to the new board! Thanks to all Lions for helping serve our community!

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Immediate Past President Lion Jack A Edwards

     Thanks for all your help in a very busy year. It has been a pleasure to serve as your President for the past year.

     For those who were able to attend our installation dinner, thanks for being there. Also thanks to our special guests District Governor Kumar Kalagara, District Governor Dr. Venkatachalam Annavajjhala from the Hyderabad Lions in India, Cora Ramirez, PDG Mike Retzlaff and Lion Sheri Retzlaff and David & Debra Herberger from the EG Citizen. Thanks to Lion Agustin for cooking.
I want to acknowledge the Lions who were recognized at our installation dinner. The following lions were recognized for 100% participation last year: Lions Anderson, Brewer, Dano, Edwards, Fuhs, Heston, Jauregui, King, Kirkland, John Muegge, Rebecca Muegge, Neil, Pearson, Sanchez, Strong, Jim Switzgable, Tallerico, Thompson, Turner, Weaver and Zehnder.

     My selection for the Lion of the year for 2016-2017 was Lion Don Thompson and my selection for the Melvin Jones Fellow Award for 2016-2017 was presented to Lion Brad Dano.
Special recognition for their support to me through the year went to Lions Pancho, Warren, Dan, Brad & Joe who each received a personalized Lions apron.

     I plan to be an active past president, providing assistance to incoming President Sharon Mika. Please join me and offer your support of our new President.

     Thanks again for another productive month serving our community.

Lion President Sharon Mika

President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Lion President Jack Edwards

     My final month was busy, just as all of the other months of my tenure as your president. We started off the month on the 4th at the Spotlight on Scholars at Creekside Church. We had lions there for the setup, preparation of water and tea and for the breakdown. Additionally, we presented scholarships to this year’s recipients. Congratulations to Susan Zhang and Faith Meeker this year’s recipients of our scholarships. You can see the photos below. We selected May 10th as our Chili’s Give Back event and we are waiting to see how much we earned for the day. Our Senior Center Pancake Breakfast was on the 13th. On the 18th was the EGHS Senior Class Sunset Breakfast and on the 20th, our crew worked the bar at the Musical Mayhem Event.

     Thanks for all your help in a very busy year. It has been a pleasure to serve as your President for the past year. I plan to be an active past president, providing assistance to incoming President Sharon Mika. Please join me and offer your support of our new President.

     Thanks again for another productive month serving our community.
