Community Service Day

This day is set aside to distribute the funds raised by the members of the Exchange Club of Charleston, through their Coastal Carolina Fair, to the many grants requested by non-profit organizations and other community service organizations. 

This year, thanks to a great 10 days at the Fair, our Club was able to give $ 531,630.00 back to 65 different Community organizations.



Fair President Chip Boling (L) joins Club President Rick Lowndes in presenting the 2008 Community Service Day Check.
