Quota of Lake County is part of the 6th District. This area includes the Ohio clubs. Each year we get together in a different town hosted by one of our clubs. We enjoy getting to see each other, share stories, ideas and fun.
This year our conference was held April 20-22 in Boardman, Ohio. It was hosted by our Salem Quota club. They went with an Olympic theme. We had games, awards and trivia, all centered around the Olympics.
We had an intense discussion on the changes proposed by our International Board.
We were also honored to pass on the trophy for Club of the Year to our sisters in Wooster. We have held the honor for the past 2 years and are proud to say Wooster deserved it as they worked so hard!
Several members from our club attended the conference. It is really a great time to get to know each other better and enjoy.

Quota Collect
Quench in our hearts, O Lord, all fires of selfishness,
Unfold to us the joys of true friendship,
Open our minds to a better understanding of service,
Teach us the real meaning of sharing,
And help us to hold high those principles of Quota for which we stand

AN EASTER EGG HUNT TO REMEMBER
On March 31st our group helped out with an Easter Egg Hunt at North Mentor Centenary United Methodist Church in Mentor, Ohio. This is not your ordinary hunt. This is the only hunt in northeast Ohio that is for special needs children.
It was so touching to see the kids and watch their excitement. Not only were their treats for the kids but tons of activities.
Louise is member of Quota and of the church.

Karen and her sister Janice run the coloring station
There was pages and bags to decorate and color. Stickers were the favorite item for decorating with. Some of the kids are future artists in the making. One little girl decorated her whole bag with drawings from her favorite book. Wish we got a picture of it, because it was really good. The kids could put on tattoos
Kathi was the tattooist
and of course what is Easter without egg decorating?
Kay was head egg decorator
The egg hunt was a pool full of grass and eggs that the kids would search for eggs, filled with treats.

To top off all the fun there was a puppet show and a room where the kids could release their excitement in Easter grass. Yes a room filled with Easter grass.

We even got to enjoy a couple service dogs

There was so much fun for the kids. It was so touching and rewarding to watch these kids just let loose and have fun. The parents were more than grateful and having fun too. It is amazing how patient the parents are. They truly are special people themselves.
