The Exchange Club Center for the Prevention of Child
Abuse
http://www.penfieldchildren.org/index.htm
Every year the Exchange Center for the Prevention of Child
Abuse raises money to help with the prevention of child abuse. In the past the center has run its own operation, however
with new state regulations a small clinic was having trouble keeping up. So in 2005 the Center joined with Penfield
Children's Center to help fund a position with the Behavior Clinic. The Behavior Clinic, founded by Dr. Fox, helps
parents who are dealing with children who have significant behavior problems which could lead to abuse situations. For
more information on the clinic or Penfield and all of their great programs please follow the link above.

Rico. Exchange is known to millions as America's Service
Club, and with good reason. From our organization's earliest days, Exchange Clubs have been unselfishly serving their
communities and improving the quality of life. The diverse array of Exchange- sponsored programs and projects has made a considerable
impact on America thus enhancing the lives of countless men, women and children across the nation.
