National Exchange candidate visits

Fussell Hughes (second from right), a candidate for National Exchange Club President, visited Waycross Exchange Club members earlier this summer. Representing the club in Albany, Hughes recognized three loyal members — Doug Vinson (26 years), Jonathan Daniell (32 years) and Ken Bennett (30 years) — for their service to the organization. Hughes commended the club’s 92 percent retention rate and 5.4 percent growth, urging members to attend the district meeting at Unicoi State Park & Lodge in Helen and the National Convention this month in Louisville.
