🦁 Austin Morning Lions Guest Speaker

This morning, we were pleased to welcome Mary Morton as our guest speaker!

Mary teaches exercise and education classes for individuals living with arthritis at the Mower County Senior Center. She shared information about the classes and the importance of staying active to help maintain mobility, strength, and overall well-being.

Thank you, Mary, for joining us this morning and sharing more about this great resource available in our community!

And after hearing about the benefits of staying active, a few Lions may have realized that walking to the breakfast buffet probably doesn’t count as exercise!!! Haha j/k 😂🦁

🏃‍♂️ Running With Ella 5K! 🦁

The morning started with a little rain, but it sure turned into a great day for a run!

Austin Morning Lions Mark and Taggert started their Saturday by taking part in the Running With Ella 5K at Horace Austin Park. We even ran into fellow Lion Ryan and his daughter along the way!

We’ve got the before and after photos to prove we made it! 😄

Running With Ella is about much more than a 5K. The event celebrates the memory of Ella Page while bringing people together around joy, hope, community, and mental and physical well-being. This year’s event also helps raise funds for the Riverland Community College Emergency Grant Scholarship, supporting students who face unexpected financial challenges that could impact their education.

It was a great morning supporting a great cause and being part of another event that makes our Austin community special.

🦁 A special morning for the Austin Morning Lions!

Today at our Austin Morning Lions meeting, we had the privilege of approving a new Lions member on his 18th birthday!

Please help us welcome Lion Talan Medgaarden to the club! Talan is following in the footsteps of his dad, Lion Taggert Medgaarden, and it is great to see the Lions tradition continue into the next generation.

What better way to celebrate turning 18 than by making a commitment to serve your community? We are excited to have Talan join us and look forward to seeing him grow as a Lion.

Welcome to the Austin Morning Lions, Talan, and Happy 18th Birthday! 🎉🦁

🏈 Go Packers! 🏈

The Austin Morning Lions were excited to welcome Austin High School Packers Head Football Coach Ed Schmitt, along with players Aidan Swenson and Lukas Jorgensen, to our club!

Coach Schmitt and the players gave us a great look at the upcoming football season and shared some thoughtful insights on the importance of team culture, leadership, and working together toward a common goal.

We also had the opportunity to recognize Past President Mark Petrik with a plaque honoring his past year of leadership. Thank you, Mark, for your time, dedication, and service to the Austin Morning Lions! 🦁

We appreciate Coach Schmitt, Aidan, and Lukas taking the time to visit with us, and we wish them and the entire Packers football team the very best this season. We’ll be watching and cheering you on! 🦁🏈

Go Packers! 💙

🏁🦁 ONE PARADE LEFT! 🦁🏁

It’s been another great year for the Austin Morning Lions Go-Kart Unit! We’ve had a blast hitting the streets, and we want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the parades, waved, cheered us on, and supported the Lions along the way! ❤️

We’ve got ONE parade left for the 2026 season:

📍 Kellogg, MN
📅 September 13, 2026

We’d also like to give a BIG shoutout and thank you to Austin Ford for lending us an awesome truck to haul our go-kart trailer around this year! 🛻🏁 Your support has helped keep the Lions rolling from parade to parade, and we truly appreciate it!

It’s been a great go-kart year, and we’re looking forward to finishing the season strong in Kellogg! Come out, give us a wave, and cheer on the Austin Morning Lions Go-Kart Unit one more time! 👋🦁🏁

A great example of Lions serving together!

The Austin Morning Lions Club is proud to recognize the Austin Noon Lions Club for their incredible partnership on our LCIF Hunger Grant project.

This grant required a partnering Lions club, and the Noon Lions stepped up in a big way. Not only did they join us as our partner club, but they also made a generous $4,500 contribution to help make this project possible.

Pictured from left to right are Austin Noon Lions Club President Kristy Rooney, Juan Hernandez of The Salvation Army and a Morning Lions member, and Morning Lions members Mark Petrik and Taggert Medgaarden as the Noon Lions presented the contribution in support of the project.

Together with The Salvation Army and the support of other local businesses and organizations, we are working to purchase a new mobile food distribution truck that will expand food distribution throughout Mower County and help reach more individuals and families in need.

Thank you to the Austin Noon Lions Club for your partnership, generosity, and commitment to serving our community. Together, we are making a difference.

Austin Morning Lions Club had the privilege of introducing Dr. Chel Page Clinical Social Worker and the Executive Director of the Austin Area Foundation. Following the loss of their daughter Ella Dr Chel Page started the: “With Ella” Initiative focused on supporting ages 18-22: Supporting Emerging Adults through empowerment, connection, lifelong learning, and achievement.
• The program is grounded in research, using the PERMA model and community asset mapping, and emphasizes building on community strengths.
• Workshops are interactive, involving community experts and providing practical skills, resources, and opportunities for civic engagement.
• The Running with Ella 5K fundraiser supports the initiative, with the next event on August 29th during the Austin Area Arts Festival.
• Workshops are offered free to students, funded by donations, and include food, snacks, and gift cards as incentives.

Thank you for sharing this fantastic program at assisting young adults as they transition into adulthood, while also providing valuable insights into the real life challenges, they might encounter.
