LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE
COORDINATING COUNCIL
HISTORY AND PURPOSE
The La Cañada Flintridge Coordinating Council is a nonprofit organization that serves as the co-
ordinating body for the many local volunteer and service organizations. The activities of the Council
are intended to assist other local organizations in planning dates for regular meetings, as well as
special events. The Council also serves as a clearinghouse to the public for information regarding local
organizations, including meeting times and places and identification of the leadership of each of the
local organizations.
The Council publishes an annual Directory of Community Organizations including officers, regular
meeting schedules, and services provided. The Directory also includes a listing of the major events
planned by this community's organizations for the upcoming year. In addition, the Council
coordinates the Community Calendar of Events listing of regular meetings and major events.
The Council conducts special Town Hall informational meetings to introduce to the community can-
didates 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.
Since its inception in 1969, the annual award ceremony has been hosted by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (with approval of NASA) in the von Karman Auditorium with presentation of the Awards
by the JPL Director or his designee. The Les Tupper Community Service Awards presentation is
usually scheduled for the second Monday each April.
