Welcome to the Exchange Club of Falcon
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit (EIN# 264323337) established to serve El Paso County including Colorado Springs.
Our club was chartered in November, 2006 as part of the National Exchange Club (NEC), a service club comprised of 700 clubs nation-wide with 22,000 members. The club was started by Lt Col (Ret) Joseph L. Bauer as a Club Builder. Initially the Exchange Club of Falcon met in a coffee shop in Black Forest. Later we were designated as a supper club and met at the Latigo Grill. Currently, our club meets at the Falcon Fire Department, Station 3 in Falcon.
Please come to one of our monthly meetings to see what we are about and learn how we help the less fortunate in the El Paso County area. If you would like more information about our club, please contact our Club President Mr. Roger Wycoff via email at rogerw@exchangecluboffalcon.com.

Accepting the divine privilege of single and collective responsibility as life's noblest gift, I covenant with my fellow Exchangites;

To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served and sacrificed that the heritage of American citizenship might be mine;
To honor and respect law, to serve my fellowmen, and to uphold the ideals and institutions of my Country;
To implant the life-giving, society building spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;
To serve in Unity with those seeking better condition, better understandings, and greater opportunities for all.

The Exchange Club of Falcon hosted our 15th Annual Falcon Craft Fair on October 5th and 6th, 2024 at the Falcon High School.
Finally getting around to posting about our Successful 15th Annual Falcon Craft Fair that was held on Oct 5 and 6, 2024 at the Falcon High School. We want to thank our sponsors who provided Donuts (Wal-Mart) and Starbucks Coffee (King Soopers Starbucks) for Saturday Morning setup for our vendors.
Our show was awesome. Great turnout. We had over 90 vendors and more than1,400 shoppers attend this year's craft show between the two days. We collected 274.5 pounds of non-perishable and dried foods and 87 coats/blankets/hoodies for the Eastern Plains Community Pantry. We also collected 90 pounds of non-perishable and dried foods and 28 coats/blankets for Mt Carmel Veterans Service Center.
All of the monies made from the vendor booth fees, silent auctions, Exchange Club Table and Donation Can are being donated back to several agencies here in the El Paso County. The agencies to get funds are Eastern Plains Community Pantry, Mt Carmel Veterans Service Center, Rocky Mountain Inclusive Connections (RMIC), Safe Passage and KidPower of Colorado.
The Exchange Club of Falcon is happy to put on this annual event to raise money to give back to the community. Our club has four Areas of Impact: Prevention of Child Abuse (National Project), Community, Americanism and Youth Projects. We are always looking for new members to help us get the word out and help our community. Contact Don K at 719-369-5158 or Andy C at 719-337-6990.
Our organization supports other local activities which include Child Abuse Prevention (our National Project), Americanism, Youth Recognition and Community Support activities. The funds raised are used to support all our programs. In the case of Child Abuse Prevention, we support organizations and agencies that participate in child abuse prevention and intervention, such as CASA, TESSA, DHS, Hope and Home, and Lutheran Family Services to name a few. We also recognize outstanding youth and those who have overcome adversity to excel with scholarship programs that include local club level, District level and National level competition. Give-A-Kid-A-Flag is one of the things we do in our Americanism program at 4th of July and Veterans Day parades during the year as well as installation of Freedom Shrines in public buildings and schools. Our Community Support program includes recognition of first responders, teachers, and a helping hand to Veterans in nursing homes as well as other projects.
