The Lake Highlands Exchange Club throws parties, hosts fundraisers, invites speakers and a does a thousand other great things in LH, but ask any of its members and they all agree. Their favorite Exchange Club event is the annual scholarship awards breakfast, held last Friday at the Highland Oaks Church of Christ in Lake Highlands. This year, 46 graduating Wildcats received $109,500 in scholarships to colleges all over the U.S., and Exchange Club members beamed with pride as if the children were their own.
“Being a part of a student’s future success is one of the goals of the Exchange Club,” said Tommy Bailey, president of the service organization. “Over the past fourteen years, the Exchange Club of Lake Highlands has presented over $1.2 million in scholarships to deserving students. Our membership is honored to present these awards and wish to thank all the memorial and special scholarship families for their tremendous and ongoing generosity towards Lake Highlands.”
