The National Exchange Club is the only service organization exclusively serving communities in the United States. More than 650 local clubs throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico provide individuals with opportunities to use their time and talents to benefit their local communities and the country as a whole. Exchange’s Core Values are family, community, and country.
Through the Programs of Service – Americanism, Community Service, and Youth Programs – members support activities that benefit youth, promote pride in our country, and honor military and public service providers, to name a few. Exchange’s National Project is the prevention of child abuse.
Exchange was founded March 27, 1911, in Detroit, MI, by a group of business executives who wanted simply to exchange ideas. Those ideas grew and were shared, and have resulted in innumerable benefits to the nation.
Currently, Exchange has nearly 20,000 members in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The organization’s National Headquarters, located in Toledo, OH, acts as a resource to local-level clubs and its members.

(5/17/22) may 2022 general meeting - meet your alderman forum
|
Well, the Exchange Club of North Chicago met with a few of the North Chicago Aldermen on Tuesday, May 17th and had a very informative discussion on topics from, "What is the plan in place to fix the pothole issues?" to "How to deal with landlords and not taking proper care of their property and dealing with violent tennants?". If you missed this virtual meeting...you missed an informative forum that gave those Alderman in attendance the opportunity to enlighten us on some of the plans to keep the NC community safe and clean. We want to thank the following NC Alderman that attended the discussion; Alderman Bonny Mayfied-2nd Ward, Alderman Carl Evans-3rd Ward, Alderman Michael Jackson-1st Ward and Alderman Dona C. Murphy-6thWard.
The Exchange Club appreciate our Aldermans for taking the time to attend and address questions from NC residents. As a North Chicago Resident, you can contact your local alderman at https://www.northchicago.org/ under City Council. |
