Mission Statement
Exchange, America's Service Club, is group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities and its national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.
History of Exchange Club
The first Exchange Club was formed in Detroit, Michigan on March 27, 1911, by Charles A. Baxley and 12 of his friends and associates.
Community service soon become the focus of club, and in 1913, an Exchange Club was formed in Toledo, Ohio. Soon, there were Exchange Clubs in Cleveland and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Representatives of these clubs met back in Toledo in August of 1917, and formally incorporated the National Exchange Club as a nonprofit, educational organization.
"Unity for Service" is the officially adopted motto of Exchange, and our official colors are blue and gold.
