The Exchange Club of Jacksonville celebrated 100 years of service to the Jacksonville community with a Gatsby-inspired gala that harkened back to the times of its founding in 1923. The event was held at the San Jose Country Club on Tuesday, Dec. 12 with national Exchange Club representatives, as well as current and past local members in attendance.
U.S. Representative John Rutherford taped a personal video message for the event, and U.S. Representative Aaron Bean, longtime supporter of the club, sent one as well, in which he spoke a brief history and congratulations of the club to the record from the floor of the House.
The Exchange Club is rooted in service, with a focus on Americanism, child abuse prevention and youth programs. They maintain Exchange Club Island, located under the Mathews Bridge, and support the Exchange Club Family Center.
