The National Exchange Club was founded in 1911 by Charles A. Berkey in order to "exchange" thoughts and ideas with others on how to better the community. In 1917, it became a recognized non-profit educational organization. The organization hosts a number of activities including community service, child abuse prevention, youth programs, and the promotion of Americanism and religious heritage. The Las Vegas chapter was initiated in 1947, but is no longer active as of 2018.
