The Exchange Club of Shelby honored Alan Bridges and Wanda White as A.C.E. Award winners for Crest High School and Sherry Thompson as an A.C.E. Award winner for Shelby High School.  The A.C.E. Award recognizes high school seniors that have Accepted the Challenge of Excellence.  A.C.E. Award winners have overcome a personal or physical adversity that could have been used as an excuse to fail, but instead the student chose to work hard and succeed.
The students spoke to the Club about their experiences and what motivated them to excel even in difficult and discouraging circumstances.  The Exchange Club presented each student with a certificate of recognition and $200.
The A.C.E. Award is a program of the National Exchange Club.  The Exchange Club of Shelby is a civic club serving all of Cleveland County.  Club members volunteer to make our community a better place to live through service programs in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and the Prevention of Child Abuse.  Exchange meets at 6:30pm on the second and fourth Monday of each month at Jackson’s Cafeteria in Shelby.
