Tribal archaeologist speaks

Members of the club and local citizens were pleased to have Dr. Gary Stickel, the tribal archaeologist for the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation.  Kish is the tribal name of the indigenous people who lived in the local area when the Spanish-Europeans first arrived in the area.

Stickel spoke on the ongoing efforts to preserve the 13,000-year-old oak in the Jurupa Hills, just south of Fontana, which was recently named the Sacred Hurungan Kish Oak.

Club donates tabs

The Kiwanis Club of Fontana supports the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House by participating in their pull tab collection program. Pull tabs are the aluminum tops from cans of soda and other beverages. Pull tabs can be dropped off at the clubs meeting place, Fontana Sizzler, any Tuesday at noon, year round. We will make sure they make it to the Loma Linda House. The funds raised by their recycling tab program are used to help support the day to day operations of their House.

Kiwanis fireworks booth a success!

We want to "Thank" club members, volunteers and all the people who purchased their fireworks from us. It was a great showing of support!

As in past years, proceeds from the sale of fireworks will be used for youth scholarships.  Over the years the club has donated thousands of dollars towards their futures.

Thank you again!
