1. PIP Edith Scheutzow Passes Away
Quota International mourns the loss of Past International President Edith Scheutzow, 78, who died January 18, 2010. A member of the Canton Quota club in Ohio , U.S.A. , Edith served as International President in 1990-1991. Her presidential theme, Begin with Enthusiasm, reflected her belief that enthusiasm is key to fully embracing and enjoying life. “She was a grand and gracious lady with an infectiously positive attitude and love of life,” said Executive Director Kathleen Treiber . “She was the wind beneath the wings of so many people who were touched by her generosity and kindness.” A full obituary is located on www.quota.org.
