It's time to make your plans for the 91st Annual Convention of the Georgia District of Exchange in June at beautiful Callaway Gardens.
This is an exceptional year to bring your family because Callaway has so much to do that will be included as a guest at the convention. Once again, the FSU flying circus will be performing. Click below to view the great activities of the venue.
Rooms must be reserved by May 1. The District has blocked rooms at the Callaway Gardens Mountain Creek Inn at a special rate of $114 per night. To reserve your room just call 1-844-280-8357. (Mention Exchange)

Remember, what you think is your junk might be someone else's treasure and Scottie Edwards, our own Mr. yard sale, is gathering up the goods for a spring sale to aide the Americanism projects of our Exchange Club. If you have anything
to sell, call Scottie, 706-346-5998, and he will pick them, or it, up and hold them for the sale. One person's junk is another person's treasure, so look around and give him a call.
Also, please put the date on your calendars so you can help and shop.
Are You Saving Those Bottle Tops and Carton Ends?
At a previous meeting, Exchangites Barbara Carter and Meredith Brown outlined plans for this years scrapbook. The duo explained they are also asking Exchangites to save bottle tops from Coke products and the end package panels from Coke can products. There will be a basket in the lobby of the Palladium to deposit them and they will be exchanged for on-line services in producing the scrapbook.

This week please remember these Exchangites in your thoughts and prayers:

Meal Policy Of The Exchange Club Of Rome
Members are encouraged to bring prospective member guests to all regular meetings. The club is most happy to pay for the meals of prospects the first three times they visit, more then that you are required to pay for your guest's meal unless they have submitted an application for membership, in which case the meals will remain at no charge. If you bring a non-prospect guest, someone to just join you for lunch, or if you take out a lunch for anyone that is not a member, you are required to pay for your guest's or takeout meal. The cost of the meal is $10 per meal and must be paid to the Treasurer or other officer at the time of the meeting. Money can also be placed in the Dues Box in the lobby.
