I've written about the Flathead Valley Exchange Club previously, specifically as it related to our 2022 Field of Honor® event. As a reminder, the Flathead Valley Exchange Club is the local chapter (established in 2020) of the National Exchange Club, established in 1911. Our mission is to focus on helping community non-profits in the areas of Americanism, Community Service and Youth Programs. We provide both volunteer hours and fundraising to help the community become a better place to live.
Once a year, we have a Giving party to provide money that we raised from our various fundraising events to selected non-profits. Those non profits are typically groups we met with during the previous year. We have a party to thank them and to give them our donation. The party is free to all attendees.
This year we decided to step it up a notch and turn the Giving party into both an opportunity to provide funds, and also a platform to raise funds. So we are having a Giving Gala, providing food, drinks, entertainment, a 50/50, Silent Auction and Raffles. In addition, the non-profits we are recognizing this year (14 veteran, youth and community non-profits) will all have an opportunity to say a few words about their organization and there will be plenty of time for networking!
The theme for our May 29th event is "Denim, Diamonds & Dollars." Dress is whatever you would like to make it - casual (denim) or dressy (diamonds). It all works! If you are in the area, and would like to attend in person, you may purchase a ticket using this link or by scanning the code below. If you'd like to donate, you may send your donation to Flathead Valley Exchange Club, P.O. Box 783, Kalispell MT 59903. If you'd like more information about the club or the event, feel free to call me, Kat Palmiotti, at 406-270-3667.
We can all make our communities better. Here in the Flathead Valley of Montana, we are having a blast doing so. Help us help our community! We hope to see you soon!
