Nominations open for 2012 Community Service Awards

The Exchange Club's Community Service Awards recognizes Needham High School freshmen, sophomores or juniors who are active in clubs or organizations that serve our community.

Up to four students will be hosted and recognized at an Exchange Club meeting early in 2012. Each of the students recognized for their community service will also be invited to submit a short proposal to the Exchange Club for a cash donation to the organization they work with. The Exchange Club will select one or two organizations for a donation from among the proposals submitted by the students.

Four students were recognized in the inaugural year of the Community Service Awards, and $750 cash donations were made to support the work of "Take Back the Night" and Rockets Against Destructive Decisions (RADD). Last year's awardees were recognized for their work in the Peer Tutoring program and the Gay Straight Alliance at Needham High School.

Students are encouraged to fill out a short online application by Friday, December 23rd to be considered for the 2012 Community Service Awards.

Welcome!

As a long-time member of the Needham Exchange Club and its current President, I have seen the teamwork of its members accomplish so much for the town we call home. Our committees endeavor to reach out to our youth, our elderly, and all those in between.  Club members come from every walk of life and every age group. We enjoy mutual respect and camaraderie while working to reach goals for our community.  Our semi-monthly dinner meetings allow for the entire membership, which includes many town leaders, to come together for lively discussions of our ongoing projects and new initiatives. 

Bob Parks,

President

Needham Exchange Club 2010-2011

It's not too late!  If you enjoyed the fireworks and parade, you can still help support Needham's 4th of July with a donation!

Thank you to our 2011 Business Sponsors!
