Media release:  The Exchange Club of Rome filled 21 care packages that will be sent to Sergeant Major Whittington and his troops from the 2nd MLG G-3  who are stationed at Camp Leatherneck in the Helman Province of Afghanistan.  "We want our troops to know that we are so proud of them," says Community Service Chair, Meredith Brown.  "These packages are just a small token of our appreciation," says Brown.   Exchange, America's Service Club, is a group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and its national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse.  The Exchange Club of Rome meets every Friday at noon at the Palladium on the Coosa Valley Fairgrounds.
