                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 8, 2018

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Wyandotte 
Exchange Club's 90 years of service to our southeast Michigan 
community. The organization has bettered countless lives through its 
service initiatives.
  Chartered on May 1st, 1928, the Exchange Club of Wyandotte has grown 
exponentially since its humble beginnings. The organization stems from 
the National Exchange Club, the only national service organization that 
solely serves communities within the United States. Today, there are 
over 650 local clubs that support the unique cities that they exist in. 
The Exchange's Core Values are family, community and country, and these 
pillars of service are no better exemplified than by the work done by 
members of the Exchange Club of Wyandotte.
  Since its founding, the Exchange Club has grown both in size and 
scope. Its increase in membership and funding has allowed the 
organization the increased ability to focus on helping children, 
families and other local civic agencies. The Exchange Club is known as 
a force for good within Wyandotte and its dedication to partnering with 
other local charities and schools without seeking recognition. From 
partnering with local churches to holding fundraising events to 
supporting the Wyandotte Soup Kitchen, the Wyandotte Exchange Club has 
provided invaluable service and friendship to our southeast Michigan 
community for the past 90 years. The Exchange Club of Wyandotte's 
longevity and record of success are testaments to the great work that 
it has done, and it is my hope that the organization continues to build 
on these achievements in the years ahead.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Exchange 
Club of Wyandotte on its 90th anniversary. The Exchange Club has 
successfully supported important local initiatives in Wyandotte since 
its founding.
