April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
 
Volunteers at Shops at Meridian Ranch

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month - Pinwheel Gardens in Falcon and Chapel Hills Mall
     The Exchange Club of Falcon installed two Blue Pinwheel Gardens today (April 1st) and they will be up through the month of April.
     The blue pinwheel has become a nationally recognized symbol of child abuse prevention, representing the happy, healthy childhood every child deserves. By installing this display in a highly visible location, we aimed to spark conversations and remind residents that protecting children is a shared community responsibility.
     We installed the Pinwheel Gardens in two locations today: Our first location was the entrance to Shops at Meridian on the entrance from Stapleton Drive (in Falcon). Our second location was at the Chapel Hills Mall in front of Dick's Sporting Goods along Briargate Blvd. These locations were intentionally chosen due to their high traffic and central role in our communities. As families, shoppers, and commuters pass by, the bright blue pinwheels serve as a striking reminder that child abuse prevention requires vigilance, education, and community involvement.
     The Shops at Meridian Ranch generously granted permission for use of their space for the display. We also want to extend our thank you to the Chapel Hills Mall Office for offering up this space for the garden.
     We ask that everyone please look at the displays and get conversations going about preventing child abuse among our community.

2025-2026 Youth of the Year and ACE of the Year Scholarship Program
 
The Exchange Club of Falcon started our annual scholarship giving program on August 6, 2025 and stopped receiving our monthly award nominations from Falcon High School and the Patriot Applied Learning Campus on Feb 1, 2026.  Now, all of our students who were awarded certificates and a gift card from their nominations from guidance counselors and staff are working on their applications to have a chance for a $1,000.00 scholarship. 
 
We have two scholarship programs for our seniors in high school. We honor students of the month (in both categories) and then an annual scholarship winner (in both categories).
 
  -  One scholarship is the A.C.E. Award (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) where we honor high school students who have made a dramatic turnaround in their attitude, performance, and future outlook during their high school years.
 
   - The second scholarship is the Youth Award where the selection is based on academic achievement, leadership, school activities, and community service.
 
The applications must be received by March 13, 2026 and they will be reviewed by the Exchange Club of Falcon Youth Committee and one student in the ACE and Youth categories is awarded a scholarship at our local level. Their packages are then sent to the Four Corners District Youth Scholarship committee to compete for a scholarship at the District Level. Winners of the district are then competing at our National Exchange Club level for a $15,000.00 Scholarship.
 
 
Our next website update will inform everyone who our ACE of the Year and Youth of the Year award winners are for the $1,000.00 scholarship.
 
For more information about our program or to be involved in our club please contact Don K at (719) 369-5158.
 
2025 "Exchange of Joy" Giving Tree
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT YEAR OF OUR GIVING TREE
 
     The Exchange Club of Falcon giving tree program “Exchange of Joy” was an awesome success this year. We collected over $10,700 in gift cards and more than 710 toys from several locations across El Paso County (Falcon Wal-Mart, State Bank, Farmers State Bank, Antler Creek Golf Course, the Falcon High Prairie Library, American Insurance Exchange, MITRE Corporation and the Chapel Hills Mall). Again, this year the Rector Stuzynski Law Firm emptied the Antler Creek Golf Course of tags and fulfilled them. The law firm donated $1,350.00 and 35 toys to our program, which definitely boosted our donation count. Let’s see if we can get another organization to do this for us next year and get our numbers up even higher. The State Bank and Falcon Wal-Mart have been among the top contributors of toys and gift cards this year. We send our thanks to all of the organizations, staff and customers for their generous donations and one of the best years that we have had.
 
     We are so grateful and blessed that our community was so giving and that we can provide these items to our partnering foster care agencies (Hope & Home and Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains) and the children in the Calhan School District RJ-1. Happy Holidays everyone.

 

Thank you, 

The Exchange Club of Falcon "Exchange of Joy" Giving Tree Coordinator (Theresa K)

     The Exchange Club of Falcon received a very generous grant to support our Angel Tree Program 2024. Our Angel Tree lead, Theresa Koveleski was working with American Insurance Exchange (AIE) (one of the Angel Tree locations the Exchange Club of Falcon works with) and was told about a foundation wanting to make a donation to our Angel Tree Program 2024. Jaromie/AIE provided us with a Point of Contact (POC) to work the donation. After speaking to Deborah Mirkovich our club received a $5,000 grant from the "Dammann Family Fund of Pikes Peak Community Foundation" to be used for our Angel Tree Program.
     The Exchange Club of Falcon split this grant in half by providing $2,500 to Hope & Home Foster Care Agency (Middle Photo above) and $2,500 given to Lutheran Family Services (LFS) (Left Photo above) to support their Foster Care program. Both of these agencies train, actively support foster parents and provide skilled, caring substitute families for children unable to live with their birth families.
     The Exchange Club of Falcon has never received a grant for this amount, so we feel blessed that Deborah and Craig Mirkovich selected the Exchange Club of Falcon Angel Tree 2024 Program to receive this funding. Both of the organizations were already given their funds and they were "over the top" excited about getting this surprise gift.
     Thank you to the Dammann Foundation for this very generous gift to support our foster care programs in Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
     We had a GREAT surprise today (Dec 18, 2024) at the Antler Tree Golf Course this morning when Theresa went by to do a random pick up gifts for our Angel Tree Program.
     We have an Angel Tree at the Antlers Creek Golf Course (in Falcon Colorado) and due to the cold and snowy weather this year, our tags weren't going too well as the golfer traffic was low to take tags. However, our club did a pick up today (18 Dec 24) and surprised there were no tags on the tree. We came to find out that a paralegal who works for the Rector Stuzynski Law Firm saw the tree filled with tags and worked with the firm to fill ALL of the tags.
The Rector Stuzynski Law Firm filled 54 Gift Card Tags for a total of $1,500.00 and 20 toys for Hope & Home Foster Care and Calhan Schools (Right Photo above). Their support to our Angel Tree Program was a GREAT surprise and their thoughtfulness to help Foster Care and rural areas in/near Calhan to those students is Outstanding!
 
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to the Rector Stuzynski Law Firm for coming through for us to provide an awesome Christmas to our children.
 
     We have to individually acknowledge the Rector Stuzynski Law Firm for their generosity. They recently opened a new location at 6045 Barnes Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80922 and their other location is 131 S. Weber St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
Our 2024 Angel Tree Program ends on Thursday, Dec 19, 2024. We will do pickups from our 5 locations on Dec 20, 2024 and Dec 23, 2024 and deliver the toys/gift cards to their respective organizations before Christmas. We have had many surprise donations this year so stay tuned for more great news like this.

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.
