Sponsor Deadline March 29th!!!
Mark your calendars Exchangites. You are invited to participate in the "The" party of the Spring to be held at the Brewhouse on Broad Street on Saturday night, April 16th. It will be a night of music, food, and entertainments headlined by Ellie Lawrence a contestant on NBC's The Voice last year.
Ellie will be only part of the entertainers who are helping raise money for our Family Resource Center. Acoustic entertainment will be presented during the dinner hours, and the bands will kick off around 8 PM.
The great thing is that 100% of every penny raised in sponsorship's and donations collected at the door are going to the Exchange Club Family Resource Center.
Last year we had a huge number of individual sponsors that helped us raise $7,300 and our goal for this year's 25th anniversary of the FRC is $10,000. If you, your family, friends, or business want to join in on this fantastic event, just click on the following link and download the form.
