A
National Organization
The National Exchange Club is
the oldest exclusively American service club organization. Being
strictly national, it is purely American in its aims and objectives,
promoting greater appreciation of citizenship and making our nation
a better place in which to live.
Simply put, Exchange is concerned Americans meeting regularly for
the purpose of serving others. Exchange Clubs are located in
progressive cities and towns throughout the nation. They are
composed of leading business and professional men and women who take
an active interest in local, state and national affairs and who meet
and work together to serve the community. The Exchange Club also
provides a medium for the exchange of ideas, methods and
information. Speakers on various topics of both local and nationwide
interest present their views.
The National Exchange Club does not plan or direct the particular
work which a local Exchange Club might undertake. The members at the
local club level best know the most pressing needs of their
communities. However National Headquarters continuously furnishes
clubs with ideas and suggestions regarding community service
projects and other areas of club operation. The members of the local
club determine the area from which their membership shall be drawn;
the day, hour, frequency and place of local meetings-, the amount of
dues to be charged, and the membership joining fee. From its modest
beginning, Exchange has grown to some 1,000 clubs in the United
States and Puerto Rico.
