VERO BEACH — On July 1, Vero Beach resident Eric Menger will take the helm of the Board of Directors of the Florida District Exchange Clubs. Menger, an Indian River County resident since 1962 and a 1977 Vero Beach High School graduate, works as director of the Vero Beach Airport. He is a 13-year member of the Treasure Coast Exchange Club. In his capacity as state Exchange Club president, he will be responsible for leading 30 clubs and nearly 1,000 Exchange Club members across the state.
