CREDIT UNION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA From its humble start in 1954 as Whittier Area Schools Federal Credit Union, Credit Union of Southern California (CU SoCal) has been honored to be part of the Whittier community. The credit union purchased its first office building in 1963. Although various Whittier locations served as the headquarters for the credit union over the years, the 1982 move to its current location at 8028 Greenleaf Avenue gave the credit union a permanent home. To better represent the expanding field of Membership that it served, the credit union elected to remove the word “schools” from its name. Thus, in April of 1987, the new name became “Whittier Area Federal Credit Union” (WAFCU).

THEN GREG’S AUTO BODY has been serving Los Angeles County and local cities since 1970. Pictured here are Greg Gunter’s children, soon to become staff members, and a few friends at the Whittier body shop circa 1979-80.

CREDIT UNION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA During the last quarter of 2000, the credit union converted to a state-charter with a community field of Membership. Subsequently, the name of the credit union was changed to Credit Union of Southern California (CU SoCal). Today, 60 years later CU SoCal remains steadfast in its purpose to place people before profit and its mission to “Build Better Lives.” CU SoCal looks forward to serving the Whittier community for many more decades to come.

NOW GREG’S AUTO BODY Pictured here all grown up, Greg’s staff celebrated 40 years of serving the community in 2010. Greg’s Auto Body offers quality work, professionalism and experience and will provide you with the vehicle repair and service you need and deserve. 25

EAST WHITTIER Car styles, fashion trends and names may have changed over the years…

THEN NOTARY SIGNING NETWORK Owner Sue Dean spent her childhood in Whittier and was excited to return to the town she loved as a business owner and volunteer. In business for over 10 years, Sue serves clients locally and nationally. Her clients include escrow companies, brokers, lenders, realtors, title companies and all in the mortgage industry.

THEN PDQ RENTALS was incorporated in 1962, having its beginnings with the opening of Bud’s Rentals in Norwalk by Bud and Doris Turner in 1952. At about the same time, Joe’s Rentals was opened by Joe and Peg Ewing. Each was a small location, but both operators had a desire to provide quality equipment and superior service. Because of their customer-oriented attitudes both facilities grew and the owners looked for ways to expand. In 1962 the two companies merged. 26

EAST WHITTIER but businesses and restaurants are still thriving on the east end of town along Whittier Boulevard.

NOW NOTARY SIGNING NETWORK Dedicated to the Whittier community, Sue has proudly volunteered her time with a variety of local organizations. Immediately upon returning to Whittier, Sue began volunteering with the Whittier Chamber as a committee member, Ambassador, Board Member and proud Chamber President in 2012-13.

NOW PDQ RENTALS Their continued, conscientious management and business practices helped them mold PDQ Rentals into a top contender within the rental industry. The publication Rental Equipment Register has listed PDQ Rentals as one of the top 100 rental businesses in the nation every year since 2001! 27

1959 For over 50 years, PIH Health has provided leading-edge healthcare for our communities. PIH Health is a regional healthcare delivery network that was founded in 1959 by volunteers who went door-to-door with coffee cans to raise funds to build a local healthcare facility. Hundreds toured “Southern California’s newest and most modern hospital,” and there was much to see. The gleaming, four story, 105,000 square foot building contained four state-of-the-art operating theaters, maternity rooms, a large postoperative suite, laboratories, x-ray and isotope services and emergency ambulance facilities. 28

TODAY Today, it still does.

Over 50 years later, PIH Health has maintained that same sense of community and family-like culture where patients are the top priority. With a fully integrated network comprised of PIH Health Hospital – Whittier, PIH Health Hospital – Downey, a host of outpatient medical ofﬁces and a multispecialty medical group, PIH Health is committed to remaining at the forefront of healthcare advances, including top-notch technology, equipment, facilities and amenities to beneﬁt patients and staff alike.

THE QUAD AT WHITTIER Built in 1953 at the intersection of Painter Avenue and Whittier Blvd., The Quad at Whittier has been a popular shopping destination for community members throughout the region for over 60 years. Expanded in 1965, May Company, Hinshawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and F. C. Nash were all major tenants. After the center was destroyed by the devastating 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake its owners were committed to rebuilding it as a community center and began renovations to create an outdoor shopping destination. Hinshawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the only store not affected by the earthquake, closed in 1992.

THEN 30

THE QUAD AT WHITTIER Today, the 400,000+ square foot shopping center continues to thrive and has a bustling town square feel that draws in excess of 450,000 regular shoppers within its 5-mile radius. Current tenants include Burlington Coat Factory, Michael’s, Old Navy, Ralph’s, Ross Dress for Less, Staples, Olive Garden, Chili’s, TJ Maxx and numerous specialty shops, retailers, offices and restaurants.

SHANNON G’S FLOWERS A true “Whittier girl”…In 2003 friends and family came together to help Shannon Gimbel celebrate her dream of becoming a local business owner and professional florist.

THEN

WHITE EMERSON The White family moved from Iowa and were among Whittier’s founding Quaker families. Addison & Eliza White (sitting) began their business in 1894 to provide services in undertaking and furniture making, including constructing caskets for their client-families.

THEN WHITTIER BROKERS Friendly Hills Country Club and the Whittwood Town Center did not exist, Colima didn’t “go over the hill” and the western boundary of Whittier was Painter Avenue. The Southern California home building boom was in full swing when Whittier Brokers put up their “OPEN” sign for the first time. 36

SHANNON G’S FLOWERS For the past 10 years Shannon has been creating custom floral arrangements and selling unique boutique items from her shop on Whittier Blvd. with the continued support from her family, friends, fiancé, Gerald and their dog, Riesi. Involved with many organizations and community groups, Shannon’s business philosophy has been to give back to the community that has supported her since the beginning! She looks forward to serving as Chamber President during the 100th year.

NOW

WHITE EMERSON In 2014, White Emerson Mortuary celebrates 120 years of service to Whittier and the surrounding communities. “As Whittier’s oldest business, we are grateful to continue serving the families of this city.” - Phil White, 5th Generation Owner, Funeral Director

NOW WHITTIER BROKERS is the oldest independent real estate company in the Whittier area, family-owned-and-operated. Their network of clients now stretches around the world, their staff has grown to include employees and vendors they call family, and they still put up the “OPEN” sign in the town they call home. Thank you to the Whittier Chamber for helping Whittier Brokers grow! 37

THEN WHITTIER PUBLIC LIBRARY April 17, 1900, the Whittier Public Library Board of Trustees held its first meeting with an initial collection of 60 books and 200 magazines, the library facilities began in the Woody building. In 1907, a Carnegie grant funded the construction of the building at Bailey and Greenleaf that many Whittierites fondly remember. As the city expanded, a larger library was needed, and the Friends of the Library organized in 1956 to raise money for a new building.

THEN The new library was completed at the Washington Avenue site in 1959 where it exists today hosting hundreds of thousands of books that were available by searching the traditional card catalog.

In 1968, service was further expanded with the construction of the Whittwood Branch Library on Santa Gertrudes. Recently renovated and enlarged, the Whittwood Branch reopened December 1, 2012 and features a state-of-the-art community room.

Today’s Whittier Library features a homework center at the central location, downloadable magazines and books, audiobooks and movies, programming, summer reading programs, guest speakers and authors, Spanish language materials, parenting materials and more!

NOW THE WHOLE CHILD The agency later changed its name to “The Whole Child,” honoring its legacy of helping underserved and underrepresented infants, children, and their families achieve “wholeness.” The new name better conveyed their philosophy that not only does every child matter, but every aspect of the child matters. The Whole Child provides comprehensive mental health services, parent enrichment and housing services to over 8,000 children and their families annually and opened its second Whittier location, the Birth to Five Center, in December 2013.

NOW RADISSON HOTEL, WHITTIER For a decade, The Radisson Hotel Whittier has continued to be a proud member of the Whittier community, always seeking to improve its guests’ experience, in 2013, the Radisson hotel Whittier began an exciting transformation, with a complete renovation of guest rooms and public areas, costing in excess of 6-million dollars. Today, the Radisson Hotel Whittier and its 100+ employees are proud to be, once again, Whittier’s premier Hotel and event venue. 41

HISTORY OF THE WHITTIER On March 31, 1913 a group of 70 local businessmen decided to form what was then called the Whittier Commercial Club whose object was to organize the efforts of the merchants, business and professional men for the promotion of business interests and mutual protection of its members. Businesses wishing to belong to the club paid an annual fee of $5. Membership was also extended to civic members who agreed to support the business interests of Whittier and were willing to pay $2 per year. Dr. Fred Robbins was the first President and presided over a 7 member board of directors. In June of 1914 the Commercial Club sponsored a letter writing contest inviting the ladies of Whittier to write letters on the subject, “Don’t Roam, Trade at Home.” Mrs. W. G. Rich, winning first prize, was quoted as saying, “Every dollar earned in Whittier and spent outside for articles you could purchase here, is like taking the life blood of our city, drop by drop. You would not expect to live if your heart was removed; neither can you expect a city to live if her heart (her business center) is taken away.” In many ways this was the very first “Shop Whittier” campaign! At the same time that the Whittier Commercial Club was meeting to support local business issues, a Board of Trade had been formed to promote Whittier business efforts. Determining it best to pool their resources and work together, the two groups joined together and formed the Whittier Chamber of Commerce on October 8, 1914. The first Chamber committees reflected the local business climate and included Transportation & Public Utilities, Citrus Industries & Exhibitions, Walnut Industries, Reception & Entertainment, Membership, Legal, Streets & Good Roads, Trade Extension, Merchants Department, Labor, Advertising and Civic Improvement. Some of the early Board of Directors minutes reflect that there was much discussion surrounding the opening of Turnbull Canyon Road, the Los Nietos name change to South Whittier and the purchase of an office file cabinet for $16.38. Their annual budget was $2,750 with $600 allocated to the annual salary of their full time secretary/manager. Also during the year 1914, the Whittier Daily News joined the Chamber, and remains today the longest standing member. In 1915, the Board of Directors voted to increase the annual dues to $20, hired an accountant and drew up articles of incorporation. It was also noted in the minutes that members were asked to please pay their dues on 42

AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE time so as to negate the need for the secretary to call for collections. Additionally, the board discussed how to encourage and cultivate a closer relationship between city and country folks. Additionally, the city considered a proposition to pipe in natural gas for its residents and merchants. In the 1920’s, a city ordinance was passed making it unlawful to operate theaters or dance halls on Sundays, the Whittier Community Players opened for their first season and the Whittier Rotary, Kiwanis and Lion’s Club all were founded. Discussions at the Chamber centered on how to boost real estate at the south and west ends of town, a request from the Wrights Aeronautical Corporation to build an air strip, and what to do about a recent bus fare increase to 15 cents. In the 1930’s depression area, the Chamber was still hard at work in the community, introducing a plan to help pay bills in Whittier. And on March 11, 1933 the city of Long Beach was struck by an earthquake, with our very own chapter of the American Red Cross lending aid to the victims. The 1940’s brought the draft and blackout drills. Whittier was scheduled to receive 16,115 gas masks to aid in the civil defense effort. In 1946, Richard Nixon was elected to the 12th district of Congress, representing among other cities, Whittier. In 1950 poodle skirts, hot rods, Elvis and the newly enclosed and remodeled Whittwood Mall were all the rage! Whittwood opened in 1955, followed by the dedication of the new City Hall in its current location. The Whittier Public Library also moved to its present location at Mar Vista and Washington. During the 1960’s, Rio Hondo College opened its doors, Parnell Park was developed and Colima Road opened. Senator George Deukmejian was the featured speaker at the Whittier Chamber’s Law Day Luncheon. In the 1970’s the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier was dedicated and the city celebrated our nation’s bicentennial with a beautification project and a country fair. On April 19, 1976 the Board of Directors voted to sign a lease/option to buy agreement for the current Chamber building located on Painter Avenue. The cost was $125,000 and on December 1, 1976 the offices were moved from the Whittier Boulevard site. In the 1980’s the Whittier Hilton Hotel opened, the Whittier Centennial was celebrated, and on October 1, 1987 at 7:42 a.m., the infamous Whittier earthquake struck! Just prior to the earthquake, the Chamber’s membership was at an all time high of 886. 43

HISTORY OF THE WHITTIER Many Chamber members had been affected by the earthquake and were in need of financial support in order to remain active members. The Board of Directors voted to grant temporary membership dues relief. Also, members of the City Council and city staff, along with several Chamber members, traveled to Sacramento to lobby for earthquake recovery funds. Once again the Whittier Chamber took an active role in supporting the business community. It was also during the 1980’s that the Chamber’s annual golf tournament, named after the late Chamber Manager Gerald Hathaway, finally raised enough funds to pay off the building on Painter Avenue. Monthly Mixers were a hot attraction as was the Chamber’s annual Monte Carlo Night, featuring local business owners dealing cards and hamster races down the center of Whittwood Mall! The 1990’s saw the recovery and resurgence of Uptown Whittier with the opening of many new restaurants, coffee houses, boutiques and gift shops. The Whittier Hills were preserved as a wildlife area and the historic Southern Pacific Depot was saved. Monthly mixers were replaced by Mega Mixers – which followed a holiday theme and brought out an average of 300 people per event! Wake Up Whittier was the hot new networking trend and the Business Focus, the Chamber’s newsletter, grew from 8 pages, printed 6 times a year, to a 20 page newspaper, distributed monthly. During this time the Board of Directors spent a lot of time trying to determine if they should invest in the development of a website or if it was just a trend. As 1999 came to a close the business community’s main concern was Y2K and how the change in the millennium was going to affect the way business was done. The early 2000’s saw good things happening in and around the city. The Chamber worked closely with the city to fight for the sale of the Nelles property and was also involved in the creation of both the Whittier Blvd. Specific Plan and the Uptown Specific Plan, representing the interests of the business community in both processes. During this time the enclosed Whittwood Mall became the outdoor Whittwood Town Center creating retail excitement and attracting major tenants to our town. The Chamber also supported the Greenway Trail project which transformed a railroad right of way into a 4.5 mile bike and pedestrian path. When the recession hit in the later 2000’s, Whittier struggled with the loss of the majority of its automobile dealerships. This, coupled with the loss of redevelopment money from the State of California, forced city officials to research creative ways to generate income for the city. Regaining the tremendous void of sales tax dollars from the dealerships and other businesses that closed would not be easy, but city leaders were determined to keep Whittier moving forward. As a response, the city proposed using our natural resources and 44

AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE relying on one of the commodities that over 100 years ago helped put Whittier “on the map”…drilling for oil in the Whittier hills. After thoughtfully studying the plan the leadership of the Chamber determined it was in the best interest of the business community to support the Mineral Extraction project. Despite slow national economic growth, within the last few years the City of Whittier has continued to see improvement. The civic center area has been remodeled, a new police station has been built, the East Whittier Library was extended and upgraded and the Chamber has seen many new businesses opening up in town. PIH Health has continued to grow adding new medical facilities, Whittier College and Rio Hondo Colleges have both made improvements to their campuses with plans for even more renovations and Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary continues to develop and expand its property making it one of the largest cemeteries in North America. These are all signs that Whittier remains an attractive place in which to live, work, shop and play. The Chamber has seen many changes over the years, but through them all, the membership has remained the most important factor in determining the quality of its programs. Today, business education, business development, networking and legislative advocacy continue to be the focus of Chamber programs. Committees continue to be strong factors in the Chamber’s success with over 15 active committees driven by over 150 volunteers. There are currently 20 members serving on the Board of Directors with an executive team consisting of 9 vice-presidents. Today, the Executive Director team approach is still in existence with Carol Crosby and Lyn Carty serving in that lead capacity. All of the volunteers, board of directors and staff are committed to providing the membership with the best possible value for their dues investment. As we look forward, the Chamber will continue to be a leading force in the economic development of our city and will work with our businesses to provide the tools necessary for them to grow and thrive.

HISTORY OF THE WHITTIER HATHAWAY GOLF CLASSIC The Whittier Chamber’s Hathaway Golf Classic was started 35 years ago as a fundraiser to purchase the office building on Painter Avenue. The tournament was named in memory of Gerald Hathaway, a former Chamber Executive Director who died of leukemia at age 43.

RANDY BASURTO EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND Each year the Whittier Chamber recognizes deserving high school seniors from the Whittier Union High School District for their academic achievements and service to the community.

Over the past 15 years, the Randy Basurto Scholarship Fund has donated more than $40,000 in scholarships to local students.

PAST PRESIDENTS Joe Corey 1986-1987 I was fortunate to be the President just prior to the 1987 earthquake while everything was running quite smoothly. During that year we achieved one of our goals to reach over 800 members. One of our concerns was to see what could be done to better promote the auto dealers in our area. We felt that was a major attraction along Whittier Blvd. One of my major goals was to make sure we provided landscape dividers along Whittier Blvd. and landscaping along the railroad tracks west of Pickering. Both were eventually accomplished.

Cheryl Estep 2009-2010 The national economy was changing during my term as President of the Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce. But despite the uncertainty, Whittier businesses remained active and committed to supporting each other. Throughout the year our networking events had outstanding attendance and our marketing/fundraising events broke records. Many of the businesses that joined during my term are still active in the Chamber and its wonderful to see them thriving.

CHAMBER PAST PRESIDENTS

Vince Mele 2001-2002 The events of September 11, 2001 created a lot of uncertainty for the Chamber. We didn’t know how our local economy was going to be effected and we cautiously moved forward. It was a time of great patriotism and Whittier businesses really united.

Susan Miles 1998-1999 During my years on the Board in the 1990’s the business climate in our area was strong. As president from 1998-1999 our focus and worry was about Y2K’s effect on technology. Would our computers adapt? We created a committee and prepared for the worst, but thankfully the advent of the year 2000 was a non-issue.

1987 Whittier Earthquake

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a whirlwind experience being the president of the Chamber in 1987. From an exciting centennial celebration in April to a devastating earthquake in October, we served our businesses with heart, optimism and a determination to keep Whittier strong.â&#x20AC;? Jan Lopez Wood Chamber President 1987-1988

“The Whittier Quake hit on October 1st, a Thursday morning, at 7:05 AM. I finally got to the office at 9:45 AM. None of my staff could get to work because of down power lines. All the ceiling titles were on the floor of the office. Cabinets had been knocked over and files were everywhere. The phones were ringing but the electricity was out so we didn’t know what lines were working. The first call that came through was from Congressman David Dreier from Washington D. C. who wanted to know the extent of the damage. I told him we could not drive anywhere as all the power lines were down. He asked me to walk up to city hall and tell Tom Mauk (the City Manager) that he would fly out immediately with a FEMA representative and he wanted to meet with the city staff at 4 PM. Congressman Dreier arrived that afternoon and met with the city staff and visited the Red Cross shelter that had been set up to assist the local residents who had loss their homes. The aftershock hit at about 4 AM Sunday morning. A CNN reporter called me at home at 4:15 AM and wanted an assessment of the latest damage as they were going on national TV in 15 minutes. It was 7 AM on the East coast. The aftershock caused additional damage to the area. California Governor George Deukmejian came to Whittier and toured the damaged area with Chamber President Jan Lopez and Whittier Mayor Gene Chandler. The Chamber waived all membership dues in the Uptown area during the recovery. The Chamber also assisted the Uptown merchants in moving into temporary trailers. Whittier showed tremendous strength during this very difficult time. for our city. The Uptown Christmas parade went off as scheduled in early December. The parade route had to be re-routed to miss some of the heavily damaged buildings on Greenleaf Avenue but the Whittier can-do spirit was still there. Jerry Thomas of Quaker City Savings (now Popular Community Bank) set up a 24 hour call center to refer residents to contractors and/or counselors. Many residents just needed to talk to someone. Mr. Thomas was Chamber President in 1980/81. Governor George Deukmejian visited Whittier a second time after the quake to offer his assistance. The Governor was a former California State Senator representing Whittier. It was a tough time for Whittier but the city recovered well. The recovery was a prime example of what we can accomplish when we all work together.” Bruce Martin Former Executive Director, Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce

COMMUNITY Founded in 1887 as a Quaker Colony, Whittier is a city rich with traditions and history, a convenient location and a small town feel. A strong sense of this heritage, which stresses the protection of landmark structures and sites, is shared by the people who call Whittier “home.” Whittier’s unique combination of community identity, spirit and cooperation have helped make it one of the most attractive and desirable residential and business locations in Southern California. Whittier is located in Los Angeles County, about 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The City covers 14.8 square miles and has an estimated population of 85,654. A five-member City Council under the Council-Manager form of government directs the City. Whittier is a charter law city and was incorporated in 1898. The Charter form of City government was ratified in 1955. Whittier’s history began in 1784 when Manuel Nieto, a retired captain who served in the Portola Expedition was granted over 300,000 acres of land by the King of Spain. The land that eventually became known as the City of Whittier was included in the grant. At the time of the Spanish American War, much of Whittier was owned by Pio Pico, a ranchero and the last Mexican governor of California. Following the Spanish American War, Whittier changed hands once again and was purchased by a German immigrant named Jacob F. Gerkens for the price of $234 from the U.S. government, under the allowance of the Homestead Act. The land of Whittier continued to pass from owner to owner several more times until 1887 when a group of Quakers interested in expanding their faith and community in California acquired the land. Upon settling in the city, the new Quaker Community decided to name their new home for a renowned Quaker poet – John Greenleaf Whittier. Following the establishment of the new Quaker Community, in 1887 Whittier College was founded, also in the namesake of John Greenleaf Whittier. Today, the school mascot is Johnny Poet in his honor. Whittier College has produced many notable alumni since its founding, including President Richard Nixon, who graduated in 1934. By the 1890s the citrus industry was taking over and the “Quaker Brand” citrus was known around the world. Eventually Whittier also became known as the largest walnut growing area in the United States. After World War II, Whittier grew rapidly and the sub-dividing of orange groves began, driven by housing shortages in southern California. The City continued to grow as portions of Whittier Boulevard and East Whittier were annexed. The 1961 annexation added over 28,000 people to the population, bringing the total to about 67,000. Whittier’s strong sense of history and vision for the future has made it an upscale and dynamic residential community. 52

Throughout the years, the City of Whittier has striven to provide a healthy and safe community and a wellmaintained infrastructure enhanced by planned patterns of growth and development. Through a balance of economic, social, political, cultural and recreational opportunities, the City maintains an atmosphere conducive to community spirit and active participation in the affairs and progress of the community. Such efforts have been made to ensure a visually pleasing community in which the City’s identity and character are preserved and enhanced. Other interesting facts about Whittier: • The official flower of the City is the Friendship Rose. • Quaker Town was originally suggested for the city name • Founder’s Day was celebrated for the first time on May 11, 1894 • Whittier’s first newspaper, The Whittier Graphic, was first published in 1895

John Greenleaf Whittier The City of Whittier was named after fellow Quaker John Greenleaf Whittier, a famous poet, writer and newspaper editor. John Greenleaf Whittier never had the opportunity to visit the town that bears his name but he did write and dedicate a poem in honor of the new City. To this day the city’s namesake is honored with an exhibit at the Whittier museum, a statue located in the park, and another statue representing his poem “The Barefoot Boy” which will soon be relocated to sit outside of the Whittier Public Library. “My Name I Give To Thee” Dear Town, for whom the flowers are born, Stars shine, and happy songbirds sing, What can my evening give to thy morn, My Winter to Thy Spring? A life not void of pure intent With small desert of praise or blame; The Love I felt, the Good I meant, I leave Thee with My Name.

WORSHIP Founded by Quaker settlers in 1887, Whittier has always been a community that celebrates the diverse religious backgrounds of its residents and has churches of all sizes dotting the landscape. Many of the churches still in the community today were formed before 1900 including First Friends Quaker, St. Mary’s, Plymouth Congregational, First Christian and St. Matthias. The Whittier Area Clergy Association recently assembled a mailing list of over 100 different congregations in the area, and that surely was not a complete list. Just as it did in its earliest days, our city still has faith fellowships gathering in storefronts and living rooms, some of which will likely be in existence as established congregations 100 years from now.

“Whittier has been called a ‘City of Churches,’ and today it would be more aptly called a ‘City of Churches, Temples, Mosques, and More.’ We are a truly a community of faith communities. There are undoubtedly cities with more faith diversity than we have, and there are possibly communities with a higher per capita House of Worship count than we have, but it seems that we have done a pretty good job of carrying forward one of our Quaker Founder’s core tenets as we have become increasingly diverse.” -Reverend Layne Beamer First Christian Church
