What We Do (click this link for 3 minute movie)

Exchange, America's Premier Service Club, is a 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.  Our club helped to found the Child-Abuse Prevention Center ("OCCAP") in Orange, and donates thousands of dollars every year to it.

We had two large fundraisers this year: a Movie Benefit, with proceeds going to the Child Abuse Prevention Center (see Community Services) and our Field of Honor, with proceeds going to families of Servicemen (See Americanism)

Our club also works to help the community appreciate what a wonderful country we live in, and also to help those who have demonstrated outstanding character.  Our club installs and maintains Freedom Shrines in public areas such as airports, libraries and schools, with copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and other significant documents, to remind the public of the rights that they have.  Other areas of focus are giving college scholarships to teens who have turned around their lives or who have shown great success coming from very difficult backgrounds.

 Our club is a member of the National Exchange Club, which has its own user-friendly website at www.nationalexchangeclub.org

and also a member of the California/Nevada District, with the website of

www.calnevexchange.org 

Please visit both of these sites to grasp the scope and impact of Exchange near us and throughout the land. 

Our USPS address is PO Box 1022, Newport Beach CA 92659.
