Needham Exchange Club

Our club was honored to present the Book of Golden Deeds Award to the Village Club during a special evening at Conrad’s Restaurant last week.

Founded in 1914 by William H. Carter, the Village Club has been deeply woven into Needham’s history, from building playgrounds and landmarks to supporting youth sports and local organizations.

What stood out most were the stories of hands-on involvement and a consistent willingness to step up and support others, always in the spirit of strengthening the community.

Grateful to celebrate this incredible group and all they do for Needham. 👏

Enjoyed attending the Needham Exchange Club's Trivia Night, which brought our community together for a fun evening in support raising funds for scholarships that help local students pursue their educational goals. It was inspiring to see so many neighbors and friends turn out to make a difference.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who participated — your support is helping open doors for the next generation of leaders.

We were honored to welcome Olin College of Engineering President May Lee to the Needham Exchange Club last week. Her thoughtful remarks on education, leadership, and community — including the idea of “teaching students how to think, not what to think” — sparked meaningful conversation and highlighted Olin’s strong connection to Needham. An inspiring evening all around!
