Our Gatesville Club
We currently conduct several annual fundraisers that support our Programs of Service. The Gatesville Exchange Club was formed May 20, 1983. We currently have 50+ members and are growing every year. Our goal for this year which began on July 1, 2011 is to add 6 new members before June 30, 2012 and to make our Gatesville community a better place. Our annual events are Taste of Gatesville in the winter, the Fire Ant Bicycle Tour in the summer, and the Golf Tournament in the fall. The fund-raising events generate revenue to fund projects such as our Youth of the Year and our ACE student awards, Child Abuse Prevention, Patriotism and Americanism.
In addition to these events, we participate in the GAKAFTW (Give a Kid a Flag to Wave) Program and hand out flags during our local Christmas and 4th of July parades. Our Golden Deeds Banquet in the spring recognizes a wide variety of honorees in the community, our ACE (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) students, the Students of the Year, and a special recipient of the Book of Golden Deeds.
We think we are a great group of people doing positive and productive things in our community. Come join us and be a member of the elite community service organization in Gatesville!
