Exchange
is a group of professional men and women working together to make our
communities better places to live through volunteer programs of service
in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and the Prevention
of Child Abuse.
Come & fellowship with us--We meet the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Elk's Lodge of Huntsville (on Franklin Street), 12 Noon. This is a standing and open invitation to all who wish to give back to their community.
Each
year the Exchange Club of Greater Huntsville hosts a Law Enforcement
Appreciation Banquet to recognize "Officers of the Year."
These
men & women represent the elite officers of various
local,
state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
Child
Abuse Prevention is Exchange's national project. Each year
the
Exchange Club of Greater Huntsville gladly donates over 50% of our
fundraising proceeds to Huntsville's National Children's Advocacy
Center.
