You know that feeling when the calendar finally catches up with the weather? That's this week. Spring break energy is still lingering, Easter is right around the corner, and there's a reason every park in town seems busier than usual.

We rounded up some events worth your time, a local bookstore that might become your new favorite quiet spot, and so much more, so scroll right on!

Clubhouse 66 is a Glendora staple where the service feels personal and the patio always has a seat for a friend. This Easter Sunday, April 5, the menu shifts toward bright spring flavors like Mascarpone Berry Toast and California Benedicts from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

It is a natural choice for a holiday morning, especially with festive face painting on the terrace starting at 12:30 PM. Whether you are there for the Short Rib Hash or a celebratory mimosa, the atmosphere is polished but never fussy.

Since the weekend is just a few days away, grabbing a reservation now ensures you won’t miss out on the festivities!

Robeks La Verne is excited to announce new store hours:
🕖 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Every day

Plus, meet your new bowl obsessions:
🍓 Strawnana Berry Blast
🥭 Mango Magic
🍌 Nutty Banana Crunch

Spoon-worthy goodness from open to close!

Thank you to our local sponsors who help make this newsletter possible 🙏

The afternoon light hits the velvet couches just right at Judging By The Cover. Since Sara opened the doors in 2025, this space has become a quiet anchor for the neighborhood.

Between the local writers’ workshops and the thoughtful collection on the shelves, there is a genuine sense of belonging here.

You might stop in for the April 4th downtown egg hunt or join Maria’s romance book club on April 9th for snacks and conversation. The shop is even preparing for the annual Garden Affair starting April 10th with book bouquets and plant bingo.

As we head into Easter weekend, Foothills is draped in that vibrant Spring green. While the national news remains a fog of "maybe," our local reality is clear: the high season is here and quality is the currency of the canyons. Capital & Influence brings you:

• Real-time intel on what local buyers are hunting for
• Veteran strategy built on 30 years of Foothills shifts
• Data that respects our unique community values

The Gist: The Glendora Chamber of Commerce has named Kathleen "Kitty" Garvey the 2025 Citizen of the Year, honoring more than three decades of community leadership. As the founding partner of Crestwood Communities and a tireless volunteer for the Glendora Public Library Friends Foundation, Garvey has helped raise over $4 million through her 25 years chairing the beloved Night on the Plaza fundraiser.

Why It Matters: This is the kind of recognition that reminds us how much one dedicated neighbor can shape a whole community. Garvey will be formally honored at the 76th annual banquet on April 16 at Glendora Country Club. For tickets:

The Gist: Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is offering $50 mammograms throughout April at four locations, including health centers in Claremont (1601 N. Monte Vista Ave.) and La Verne (2333 Foothill Blvd.). No physician order or insurance is required. The program is open to women 40 and older who do not have breast implants, current breast problems, or a history of breast cancer in the past five years.

Why It Matters: Affordable, accessible screenings like this make a real difference for early detection, and having locations right here in our own neighborhoods removes one more barrier to getting it done. Call (909) 469-9395 to schedule.
