spirit is about to speak good tidings and cheer for all as we don our gay apparel
for the holiday season.

Some of our older members may remember Exchangite Don Vader, one of our greatest
members from the era of what I call the "Old Guard" I just got word
from former Exchangite Jim Jones that Don passed away this week. Don's memorial

Covenant of Service
Accepting the divine privilege, of single and collective responsibility as life's noblest gift, I covenant with my fellow Exchangites:
To consecrate my best energies to the uplifting of Social, Religious, Political and Business ideals;
To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served and sacrificed that the heritage of American citizenship might be mine;
To honor and respect law, to serve my fellow men, and to uphold the ideals and institutions of my Country;
To implant the life-giving, society-building spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;
To better serve in Unity with those seeking better conditions, better understanding and greater opportunities for all.
