Our Purpose
The Exchange Club of Lake Highlands is an affiliate of the National Exchange Club. The original purpose of “Exchange” was to create grass roots organizations for the exchange of ideas leading to community involvement and enhancement. Locally, this objective has been refined over the years to specifically focus our efforts on community service to others, particularly support for our schools, public safety first responders, neighborhood non-profits and projects that improve the Lake Highlands community.
The Exchange Club Awards Scholarships
The Exchange Club of Lake Highlands has presented its annual scholarship awards to graduating Seniors at Lake Highlands High School. These were presented at a breakfast at Lake Highlands United Methodist Church on May 18, 2018, Fifty three awards totaling $153,000 were presented. Since the inception of this program in 1971 over $2,400,000 in awards have been presented by the club. Thanks to Scholarship Chairman Gale Lewis and his committee members for an outstanding job. Thanks to committee chairman Ted Steinke for his usual great job (his 23rd year to participate). And thanks to Steve White and Joan Poole for the pictures. And a special thanks to our outside contributors and scholarship sponsors.
