Lau­ra McGee, a mem­ber of the Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive board of direc­tors, pre­sent­ed a check today for $1,000 to Pres­i­dent Bar­ry Hall of the Exchange Club of Rich­mond Hill.

“We offer this dona­tion to your club from the mem­bers of Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive,” McGee said, “Because the goals and aspi­ra­tions of this Exchange Club are the same val­ues we embrace at our Co-op.

The Exchange Club is one of the old­est ser­vice clubs in Rich­mond Hill and is devot­ed to Amer­i­can­ism, com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice, youth activ­i­ties and the pre­ven­tion of child abuse.

The club orga­nizes sev­er­al events through­out the year includ­ing a par­ents & kids fish­ing der­by, stu­dent of the month, mil­i­tary memo­r­i­al bricks, pub­lic safe­ty offi­cer recog­ni­tion, sup­port of the YMCA, and the Matthew Free­man Project.

One of the hall­mark projects of the Exchange Club of Rich­mond Hill has been the instal­la­tion of Free­dom Shrines in local schools. A Free­dom Shrine is an impres­sive, per­ma­nent­ly mount­ed col­lec­tion of 30 of the most impor­tant and his­toric Amer­i­can doc­u­ments, includ­ing the Dec­la­ra­tion of Inde­pen­dence, the Con­sti­tu­tion of the Unit­ed States and the Get­tys­burg Address.
