Don Wright, a member of the Noon Exchange Club of Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, was installed as Region 6 vice president (Eastern Arkansas,
Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee) of the National Exchange Club at the
organization's 2009 National Convention in Jacksonville, Florida.

and has been associated with firms in Mobile, Alabama; Albany, Georgia;

Wright joined the Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Exchange Club in 1982. On the local

Wright was instrumental in helping build the Exchange Club of Cool Springs,
Tennessee, and was a club builder for the Exchange Club of Bedford County,
Tennessee. He has served on the Advisory Board of the Rutherford County

Among his other involvements are active participation in the Rutherford

volunteer administrator of a church e-mail ministry that reaches more than
775 members of North Boulevard Church of Christ. Wright is also a member of

One of the best men I know. I don't see how he does it all.
