Quota Lower Clarence has held their AGM and first meeting of the new financial year at the Yamba Bowling Club. Election of officeholders took place, and all positions were filled.
Congratulations to Dianne Wilson for again taking on the presidency; Lynne White – vice president; Denise Gillies – secretary; Sarah Auer – treasurer; international director – Maureen Duncan-Watt; community director – Debbie Cannon.
Our small but vibrant membership has plans in place for some exciting events in the upcoming year.
Our changeover luncheon was held at the Yamba Golf Club on Sunday March 17 and we welcomed our office bearers and committee.
Members will attend a Friendship High Tea with Quota Alstonville/Wollongbar on March 23.
We are very excited about the upcoming Art, Craft and Garden Fair to be held on the weekend of April 13-14 at the Yamba Bowling Club. This year we will have an Easter and Mother’s Day theme, as we are very close to these special days. Children will enjoy the activities we have planned, including a visit from a very special guest, with photo opportunities. Everyone is welcome, and it’s a $2 gold coin donation for entry. There will be much on display and for sale from our exhibitors.
This event is a major element of our fundraising activities.
