The Council conducts special Town Hall informa­tional meetings to introduce to the community can­didates for the La Cañada Unified School District Gov­erning Board and the La Cañada Flintridge City Council. In addition, the Town Hall meetings in­clude information regarding other measures on the ballot, such as propositions, that affect the citizens of our community.

 

In 1965, the Council awarded the first Commu­nity Action Awards to organizations and individu­als who had provided outstanding service to our community. In 1969, the Awards were renamed the Les Tupper Community Service Awards, in honor of Mr. Leslie (Les) C. Tupper, a La Cañada Flintridge resident and well-known Los Angeles attorney. "Mr. La Cañada" was an active member of the school board and later served as its chair­man. He was also president of the Council before La Cañada Flintridge became a city and at a time when the Council was the only body that served as a link between the various local organizations.
