Join us for our presentation: Village People – The People Behind the Names of Gordon Ranch and Laband Village. Residents of Chino Hills frequently see the “village” signs reading “Gordon Ranch” and “Laband Village,” but have you ever wondered what’s behind those names? Join us as Paul Spitzzeri shares some of the fascinating history of Huntley Gordon and Walter Laband, owners of large ranches in the northwestern parts of town.
Please save these dates for our upcoming meetings in 2025!

Cult or the True Catholicism? St. Joseph’s Hill of Hope
St. Joseph’s Hill of Hope has been mostly hidden from view, deep in Carbon Canyon, for more than a half-century. This religious compound was established in the late 1960s by Frances Klug after the Vatican II reforms in the Roman Catholic Church. Join Paul Spitzzeri as he discusses some of the history and mystery of the site, long the subject of a raft of rumor and spates of speculation.
