  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Exchange 
Club of Trenton on the 90th anniversary of its founding. The club has 
provided outstanding support to service projects and community 
initiatives since its establishment.
  Founded in 1927, the Exchange Club of Trenton began as a professional 
gathering of prominent businessmen in the Trenton area and has since 
evolved into a community organization that provides funding and support 
to a variety of different causes active in the city. The organization 
raises money through an annual spaghetti dinner, as well as other 
events like a 5K run and comedy night. Using these funds, the Exchange 
Club assists a multitude of initiatives to improve the Trenton area. 
These include supporting child abuse prevention services, as well as 
activities including an Adopt-a-Highway cleanup program on Fort

Street and helping organize the Memorial Day and Christmas parades in 
the city. Additionally, the Exchange Club also works with Boy Scout 
Troop 1721 to provide community service and leadership opportunities 
for troop members.
  The Exchange Club of Trenton has been instrumental in helping the 
Trenton community grow and develop over the past 90 years. By bringing 
together local leaders and concerned citizens, the Exchange Club has 
not only provided an important forum to discuss solutions to issues 
facing the Trenton area, but also helped drive action to make the city 
a better place to live and work. The Exchange Club of Trenton'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 Trenton on its 90th anniversary. The Exchange Club has 
successfully supported important local initiatives in Trenton since its 
founding.
