A message from Scott Drew,
our current Club President...

Welcome to the Exchange Club of Columbus’ web site! We are America’s Service Club. Columbus, Georgia is a great place to live and we are committed to helping make our community even better.

No doubt you have already heard about our World Famous Foot-Long Hot Dogs and our Annual Pancake Jamboree. Please take a minute to read about our Service Projects which focus on Youth Recognition and Development, Americanism, Community Service, and our National focus... Child Abuse Prevention.

We are proud to be a Partner in Education with Marshall Middle School. Our Service to Youth programs include High School Student of the Month and Student of the Year Awards, and the ACE Award program, which recognizes students who have overcome major obstacles in the course of achieving an education.

As strong supporters of public safety, we recognize local law enforcement officers of the year and firefighter of the year. We also have programs that recognize exemplary citizens who proudly display their Americanism and who do other good deeds.

If you think we are a busy club-- we are! If you share our values and would like to experience the excitement of Exchange, we definitely have a place for you. Please contact us for more information and a personal invitation to attend our next meeting.

Exchange Club Covenant of Service

Accepting the divine privilege of single and collective responsibility as life's noblest, gift, I covenant with  my fellow Exchangites:

To consecrate my best energies to the uplifting of Social, Religious, Political and Business ideals;

To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served and sacrificed that the heritage of American citizenship might be mine;

To honor and respect law, to serve my fellowmen and to uphold the ideals and institutions of my Country;

To implant the life-giving, society-building spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;

To serve in unity with those seeking better conditions, better understandings and greater opportunities for all.
