La Cañadan of the Year Celebration
Each year the Kiwanis Club of La Cañada selects and honors the “La Cañadan of the Year” based on current and long term broad based involvement in volunteer community service, demonstrated leadership qualities, their active role in bringing positive recognition to themselves and to the community of La Cañada Flintridge.
You’re invited! Please join us for the Annual La Cañadan of the Year Celebration as we proudly honor
Wendy Sinnette, our 2025 La Cañadan of the Year.
Celebrate an afternoon of inspiration, fellowship, and appreciation for a woman who embodies the spirit and generosity of our community.
RSVP by Friday, March 17.
Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Any donations or contributions made in Wendy’s honor to the La Cañadan Kiwanis Foundation will be designated for LCHS Scholarships, supporting graduating LCHS seniors.
Donors are also invited to include a special message, which will be featured in the commemorative program as a lasting tribute to Wendy.
Through your generosity, we can honor Wendy’s legacy while investing in the future of LCHS students.
