2010 Conference information

Plan to join us at this year’s Quota District 20 Conference from May 14-16 at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth. (The Conference is being hosted by our Flint Club, but they have selected Frankenmuth as the location for this year’s conference.)

The weekend activities will begin with Fun Night at 7:00 on Friday. The Conference will begin on Saturday morning and continue through mid-day on Sunday.

Attached is the registration form and information about Fun Night. The deadline for registration is April 20. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Bavarian Inn Lodge and Conference Center. Tell them you are with Quota to receive the group rate.

Attending conference is a great way to get to know Quotarians from all around the state. Join us!

The nominating committee has been busy creating a great slate for the 2010-2011 board of directors. The slate will be distributed via Email and the blog in early March. Be sure to join us at the March meeting to vote and at the April installation banquet to cheer on our new board of directors.

Our committee will be meeting after the February club meeting to review fundraising possibilities for the upcoming year. Our budget will be based on what the club decides for service projects at the February meeting. Your input is vital to the future of the club so please be sure to join us for the February and March meetings. If you have any fundraising ideas, please submit them to Peggy Bishop at pbishop@beenegarter.com by March 1, 2010.

The Service Committee awarded grants to DHHS in January totaling $1,033.45 to purchase hearing equipment for nine individuals.

We have elected to send this year’s Quota International Club to Club donation of $500 to the Quota Club of Mandaue, The Philippines, to assist in funding a vocational training program for hearing impaired students. There are some great photos of these kids on the QI website!

Kath Slagal is putting the finishing touches on the Quota Legacy Scholarship to be awarded through Grand Rapids Community College. We are still determining the amount, and requirements for students to receive the grant. We hope to make this available yet this fiscal year.

We have received requests from DHHS for hearing equipment for three individuals totaling $610.75, and as the committee approves these, we will request a check.

We are planning to determine upcoming projects by hosting an informal and fun sign up session at the next meeting on February 18.  “Who Wants to be a Quillionaire” will solicit input from members regarding which projects they support and which projects they personally would like to implement.
