1. QUOTA MOURNS DEATH OF PIP DOLORES BROSKY
Quota International mourns the loss of Past International President Dolores Brosky, 74, who died June 5, 2010. Dolores served as international president in 2001-2002, and her presidential theme, Brighten Our World with Quota, reflected her positive, inspirational view that Quota’s greatest purpose was to help others and to do so with a happy heart.
Long after her presidency, Dolores continued to support Quota locally and internationally and faithfully traveled to Quota’s conventions. She regularly came to Washington in between convention years to support the new Quota president installed at that time.
“I like to think that Dolores’ light will continue to shine through the acts of kindness and gentleness that Quota members express every day, said Quota Executive Director Kathleen. “ I think it would please Dolores to be remembered in that way.”

Getting to Know… Melissa
Melissa is celebrating her fifth year in Quota this year! Her favorite snack is popcorn which she enjoys while she’s watching her favorite movie: “Ice Castles”.
Melissa was asked if she has ever run in a marathon, she has not.
The one thing her grandparents taught her was… Live life to its fullest.
She was asked: which would be better? Listening to a riveting story on the radio or watching a lame story on TV. Melissa chose listening to the radio.
What if Melissa could fly? Her reply: Not in this lifetime
What is her favorite bad movie? Batman
Thanks Melissa for sharing a little bit about yourself!
a note from Ginny
Ginny sent a card to the club thanking us for the flowers we sent. The card reads: (outside) “For A Special Friendship… (inside) To My Caring Friends I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate our friendship and I’m glad we have each other to always count on. -Thanks a million”
She included the following letter:
“I walked outside to feed my dog (Sandy) and there on the table on my porch was a gorgeous plant from Eastern Floral.
The big blue and white container held a plant with big green leaves and delicate white flowers called Cyclamen. Beautiful! You made me feel like the queen of the show. Quota friends really do care. Thank you and thank you again.
My agenda does not include losing my balance over nothing and injuring my hip again. See you soon and I hope with out a cane which I put down and can’t find most of the time.”
Ginny
