Central Area Meeting

Oct 11-13 was Quota's Central Area Meeting

It was held in Kenosha, Wisconsin. What a beautiful town. It is about 30 miles north of Chicago and 30 miles south of Milwaukee. It is on Lake Michigan. It is home to The Jelly Belly Co., Johnson Family Products Co, and even Snap on.

We went to an Eco farm in Racine, Wi that is run by nuns and is a farm that recycles, uses solar power and wind power. They provide classes to kids and offer a retreat house. This is a one room house to get away for a day, two, weekend or week. There are many animals on the farm including alpacas.

President Karen makes friends with "Grant"

Quota International has clubs in 14 countries. This was a flag ceremony at beginning of meeting to honor each country.

We were honored to have as a guest speaker Julia Witherspoon. She is the founder of the Cops n Kids Reading Program. She has even been on The Oprah show. Amy from the Orrville club was excited to meet her. They have been in touch with her prior to this. The Orville club has a very successful Cops n Kids program.!

The Lake County club was honored with an award for the Give Me 5 program. We did not get 5 but did get 4. 4 new members in the last year!

We had a wonderful time. Met up with old friends and made new ones. This was our LAST area meeting. Quota is making several changes to how things will run and this is one thing we will no longer do.

We have an exciting year ahead of us, lots of changes to help run smoother and make life easier for all of us!

TIME FOR A CHANGE...

Well, the time has come for us to say good-bye, and to say all new HELLO"S!

We will no longer be holding our meetings at Dino's on RT 306 in Willoughby. They have changed their focus and we do not fit in their plans. So after many, many years of holding our meetings there, we must say Good-bye!

GOOD-BYE!

We say hello to new opportunities. The opportunity to try new places.

HELLO to "LOCAL TAVERN"

Our first meeting since our summer break will be held here at 6pm on September 9th. It is on Mentor Ave. in Mentor.

Join us and help us say HELLO!

6th District Conference...

May 3rd thru the 5th, the 6th District held their annual conference at the Amish Door in Wilmont, Ohio. The theme for the conference was "Country Fair". The host club was Orrville.
We had a fun night where we tried our luck a different Fair games. Had a Centerpiece contest and a baking contest. 3 of our members won ribbons for their baking talents.

Geri, Kay and Beth our Award Winning Bakers

After a few hours of meetings and discussion, we were given time to shop in Amish country.

We had an Installation Dinner where we were entertained by a local clogger group and learned to square dance.

Sunday is time for Awards. Our club nominated Susan Prokop of the Chrysalis Adventure as our Community Champion. This is Horse Therapy Farm in Hambden, Ohio. We are proud to announce that our Community Champion was chosen by the District as the over-all winner this year.

Awards are also given to different service projects...such as Speech and Hearing, Women and Children in need and Fundraising. There are so many great things Quota is doing right here in Ohio. Congratulations to all the other club winners. The last award is the "Award of Excellence". This award is given to a club for their all-around efforts in their club and community.

AND THE WINNER IS...LAKE COUNTY!!!!

As President, I am so proud of my club and each member in it! We worked very hard to get this award and it was a huge surprise! We did not expect it!
