Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival

The Exchange Club has participated in the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival each year since it began in 1998. The club also participated annually in the original Richmond Hill Seafood Festival, which ran from 1985 to 1989.

Operating a food booth each October in the Seafood Festival is our primary source of funds to run our various community service projects, and it’s also a fun time for all members who participate.

Over the first several years we served Shrimp Gravy, which was always a big hit. Beginning in 2003, we have served Jambalaya and Crab Stew, both of which have been crowd favorites.

Thanks to all the hard work of our members and friends, each year has turned out to be another successful event for our club.

JOIN US!

We meet from noon–1PM on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at the Richmond Hill City Center. Visitors and prospective new members are always welcome.

Membership is a great way to get involved in making Bryan County a better place to live, stay up to date on current area events, network with others of similar interests, and develop your own leadership skills.

Help us make a difference with fundraising, too. Here's just a few things we do:

  • Annual School Calendar
  • Casino Night Fundraiser
  • Pinwheel Garden for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness

Our operating expenses are paid by member dues, so all net proceeds from fundraising events go to support various community projects. Dues are currently $150 per quarter, one of the best bargains available among all civic and service organizations. Learn more about the benefits:
