February 20, 2017 - Lion Beverly S. was our Program Chairperson for this meeting and she arranged an excellent program. Beverly's program was a speaker from the Repertory Opera Company in Pomona. The speaker was Ms. Coril Prochnow a singer with the Opera Company. She told us of the Company's history and examples of the programs they perform. The Company started 13 years ago in a church in Pomona and is now located at 101 West Mission Blvd. Pomona. Ms. Prochnow shared a video of one of the operas the Company has done and explained the characters as the video progressed. The Repertory Opera Company is funded by patrons donations, ticket sales and grants from LA Art and Education. Ms. Prochnow concluded her program by singing an aria by Puccini - She has an outstanding operatic voice.

Unfortunately The Upland Host Lions Student Speaker Contest had to be canceled at the last minute. We began in October, 2016 contacting the Student advisor at Claremont High School to arrange for speakers for this contest and felt everything was on track. In previous years Claremont had always provided several excellent speakers. This year, due to failure to be able to communicate with the advisor, we had to cancel the contest at the last minute.

The Foothill Zone "A" Student Speaker contest will be held on March 7th at Lions Center East.

On Saturday February 25th The LEOs District talent show is scheduled. Lions Joey and Ken M., from our Club, will attend.

On Monday, March 13th Our Club President, Lion Jim K. and Lion Joey will make a presentation to the Upland City Council. This presentation will highlight our newly refurbished Eyeglass Collection Box (Mail Box), which is located between City Hal and the Fire Department, and the proposed establishment of a City wide LEO's Club. We will thank the City for allowing us to place the eyeglass collection box between the City facilities and create an awareness of our intent to engage the Upland City youth with Lions through a LEO Club.

Upland Host Lions have been invited to attend the Charter Night for the new Chino High School LEO Club. A motion was made and approved to contribute $150 to the Chino High LEO Club to help cover the cost to Charter the Club. Welcome Chino High LEOs.
