The donations capped off an exceptional year of fundraising for Quota, enabling the organisation to donate $29,390 to local schools, community organisations, international aid and emergency relief.
In his toast to Quota International, Mayor Lindsay Brown thanked the Quota members for the wonderful job they do as volunteers. He also congratulated all those who take on leadership roles to ensure the club continues to thrive.
Outgoing president Angela Hansen thanked Quotarians for their hard work and recognised Club Narooma’s board members and staff for their continuing support of Quota through the Sunday meat raffles and quarterly trivia nights.
Narooma High School principal Tony Fahey toasted the incoming board and executive and noted how amazed he was that such a small group of women continually set such a high standard for fundraising each year.
New president, Bronwyn Roll echoed those comments, and said she is a firm believer in contributing to the community in which you live. Joining Quota provided her with a means of doing just that. She complimented the members on working together as a team, and having a lot of fun doing it.
