The Exchange Club of Mitchell, SD

The Exchange Club of Mitchell, SD The Exchange Club of Mitchell, SD is a community organization focusing on Americanism, youth, the prevention of child abuse, and community service.

Americanism
Promoting pride in country, respect for the flag and appreciation of Americans’ freedoms are the primary purposes of Exchange’s Americanism programs. We organize the city fireworks display, hang American flags at businesses on holidays, put up the Flag Field 3 times per year, and hand out small flags at the Stampede Rodeo parade (GiveAKidAFlagToWave) to promote Americanism in Mitchell.

Youth Programs
America’s young people are its most precious resource. We make a difference in the youth of Mitchell through college scholarships, service recognition, and sponsorship of Park and Rec activities, Hockey, SPOOF, and Junior Achievement. Community Service
We have a goal of making Mitchell a better place to live. Through sponsorship of the Heart and Sole Cancer Walk, recognition of the Police and Firefighters, and donations to Love Feast, Boy Scouts, United Way, Salvation Army, and After Prom, we strive to make a difference in Mitchell. Prevention of Child Abuse
The National Exchange club provides a variety of public awareness materials designed to help inform and increase awareness of child abuse and how it can be prevented. In Mitchell, we raise awareness of child abuse and promote prevention. We do so by handing out information during our Believe in the Blue campaign and donating to Second Chance High School, CASA, the Safehouse, and the Abbott House.

Have you noticed the blue in Mitchell? April is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month, where we partner with Mitchell organizations to elevate awareness of Child Abuse Prevention efforts. Club members are heavily involved in activities throughout the month, from tying ribbons to street lamp posts, and wearing blue to Club meetings in April (or face a fine😊). A special thanks to our friends at the The World's Only Corn Palace for lighting the Palace in blue every Monday night this month!

The Club was so proud to dedicate a Freedom Shrine at Mt Vernon Public School at the end of February. The Freedom Shrine is a curated, permanent display of reproduced historic American documents—including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Gettysburg Address—designed to educate and promote patriotism.

The Club installed a Freedom Shrine at the school back in 1990 when the it was first built. We are so thankful for the District, its leaders and teachers to let us update it for its students to learn about and enjoy.

Congratulations to Club member Cole Morgan on opening his new law practice!

It’s official! Mitchell's own Tessa Bellim was recognized at the 2025 Exchange Club's National Convention in Louisville as the ACE (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) of the Year! Tessa is not only the first National Award Winner from Mitchell, but also the first from the Dakota Territory, which constutes Clubs from across North and South Dakota.

The Club's ACE Award is a scholarship award for students who overcome obstacles to succeed. Tessa earned our local award in April, then won the District Award in May before attending the Convention last week.

Tessa received a $15,000 scholarship for her future education, which she hopes to use become an RN.

CEO of the National Exchange Club Tracy Edwards presented Tessa with her trophy at the awards ceremony.
