Welcome to the Browstown Exchange Club.
Welcome to The Exchange Club of Brownstown, Indiana. Our Exchange Club is a group of individuals who promote programs to "give back" to our local community, and recognize individuals who strive to make it a better place to live and work.
The Exchange is an all-volunteer, national service organization who want to serve their communities, develop leadership skills and enjoy new friendships.
We meet weekly for breakfast and invite speakers to come and share on a variety of topics from human interest to personal growth.
We develop projects to honor area youth, recognize individuals for their work in the community, and promote patriotism and Americanism.
Our club was chartered in 1966 and has been a continual positive influence in Jackson County Indiana for over 40 years. The Exchange Club of Brownstown is part of the National Exchange Club; a volunteer service organization which is made up of nearly 800 clubs and more than 25,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
If you are new to this area or have lived here all your life, The Exchange Club of Brownstown invites you to join in our varied programs of service including Americanism, Child Abuse Prevention and a variety of Youth Projects. Please join us anytime at one of our weekly meeting! We are always looking for new members who enjoy serving our community, our children and our country.
