Over 40 years ago, a group of 37 civic minded men in Upland decided to join together and form a Kiwanis service club that met for breakfast instead of lunch. Thus was born the KIWANIS CLUB OF UPLAND-FOOTHILL. Three of the original charter members remain active today, Frank Aglio, Bill Landecena, and Hal Schliemann The club is comprised of 44 civic minded Men and Women ranging in age from 30 years old up to 83. Our average age is in the low 50’s. This is not your grandfathers club and no we don’t wear funny hats or have a secret handshake! Over the years the club has conducted a wide variety of community service activities our current projects include: Awards and scholarships for outstanding students in our community Sponsorship of junior and high school service clubs Blood Donor drives Easter Egg Hunt July 4th Fireworks Grill & Snack bar Concerts in the park (originally called Mosquito Serenade) for 29 years Prayer Breakfast for 23 years Serving food for Competitors of Wheel Chair Tennis Shoes For Kids (hundreds of pairs each year) Sponsorship of numerous youth sports teams Financial support of many community organizations Flagpoles (from 1986 LA Olympics) at the Madonna statue, Euclid and Foothill US Flag installations on Euclid Avenue Serviceman Banners on Mountain Ave. recognizing persons in the US Military To fund these services we conduct several fund raisers through out the year, ranging from a highly successful golf tournament to selling See’s Candy.
