84th annual new teacher luncheon connects educators with community By Joan Rykal | For The Bugle

H

osting a welcome luncheon for teachers prior to the beginning of a new school year has been a long-standing tradition for the Lions Club of Downers Grove. And this year was no different, as the club hosted its 84th annual event at Gatto’s Restaurant in Downers Grove. More than 40 new teachers from District 58 and District 99 were warmly welcomed during two separate events this month, which included district staff, local dignitaries, local and state officials, and Lions Club members. According to Lions Club President Floyd Mizener, the event originally included all teachers from Downers Grove schools. But as the village grew over the years, the club began to focus on welcoming just the incoming teachers. The Lions Club New Teacher Luncheon for District 99 took place Aug. 11, while staff members new to District 58 were welcomed Aug. 18.
