WHAT IS THE EXCHANGE CLUB?
Exchange is an all-volunteer, national service organization for men and women who want to serve their community, develop leadership skills and enjoy new friendships. Exchange is made up of some 1,200 clubs and 40,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
Exchange is known to millions as America's Service Club, and with good reason. From our organization's earliest days, Exchange Clubs have been unselfishly serving their communities and improving the quality of life. The diverse array of Exchange-sponsored programs and projects has made a great impact on America thus enhancing the lives of countless men, women and children across the nation. Read about some of our activities in the growing Beach Haven Exchange list shown on our Service Programs Pages - I, II, III and "Access for Joey" at the left side of this page.
   
WHAT DO EXCHANGE CLUBS DO ?
Clubs sponsor a wide range of activities to improve our communities, help the disadvantaged, and encourage good American citizenship. The principal areas of Exchange's National Program of Service are Youth, Americanism, and Community Service, with Child Abuse Prevention emphasized as the national project. Members also initiate activities to meet unique local needs. This may be anything from raising funds for the homeless to building and staffing a sheltered workshop for the disabled or honoring individuals who do extraordinary deeds.
  
HISTORY of EXCHANGE
The first local Exchange Club was formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1911. The second was the Exchange Club of Toledo, Ohio formed in 1913. Subsequently, two others were organized in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Cleveland, Ohio. These four clubs were the first to be chartered by The National Exchange Club after it was organized as a non-profit, educational organization in 1917. Since then hundreds of clubs have been chartered in the United States and Puerto Rico. The National Exchange Club headquarters is located in Toledo, Ohio. Its chief objective is to help Exchange Clubs realize their full potential of community service.
The Exchange Club of Beach Haven was chartered in 1928 and has been the leading service club on Long Beach Island and the nearby mainland ever since.
