Quota Hurricane Update and News Alert

Dear Quota Members,
I am writing today with two items of importance:

1. HURRICANE DONATIONS UPDATE
2. QUOTA NEWS ALERT

Will you please share the information in this special edition Quota Quick Update at your next club meeting and informally with other Quotarians who do not have Internet access? This communication goes only to those Quota members who have reported e-mail addresses to us. Not all club leaders have e-mail, so I thank you for taking the lead in your club with the sharing of this information.

1. HURRICANE DONATIONS UPDATE
Yesterday I reported to you that Quota International's charitable arm, the We Share Foundation, is now accepting donations that will support hands-on hurricane relief efforts sponsored by District 21 clubs. Today, I am pleased to share the portions of the specific guidelines that District 21 clubs with approved applications will be required to follow.

DISTRICT 21 CLUB DONATION GUIDELINES

  • Donations can only be used for District 21 Hurricane Katrina relief efforts provided by District 21 club members.

  • If club members are volunteering for an existing non-profit agency, program, or organization (non-religious, non-sectarian) providing hurricane relief services, they are welcome to donate the funds to that agency, program, or service provided that 100% of all donations are used for relief services.

  • Monies may be used to provide direct services and support for evacuees in need (helping to purchase food, clothing, transportation, etc.).

  • Monies may be used for multiple or a combination of hurricane relief purposes.

If approved, District 21 clubs will receive donations on an ongoing basis as donations are received by the We Share Foundation. A minimum and maximum amount is not known, nor is it guaranteed. All donations received for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts will be distributed to District 21 clubs participating in relief efforts.

We ask that all approved and participating District 21 clubs keep us informed with occasional short reports and photographs. Your periodic reports and photographs will help us with raising more donations for your critical work, so please know that we appreciate them very much. We will share your photographs and stories on our web site and in our 2006 Quotarian magazine. Also, when this program ends, we will need a short financial report on how all donations were spent signed by the club president and treasurer.


TO DONATE: Please make all checks payable to the "WE SHARE FOUNDATION."

In the South Pacific, please send donations to We Share Foundation, c/o Quota International, PO Box 205, Margate, Queensland 4019, Australia. Donation checks are accepted in Australian and New Zealand currencies.

In all other Quota countries, please send donations to We Share Foundation, c/o Quota International, 1420 21st Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Donations are tax deductible in the United States, and donations are accepted in U.S. or Canadian currencies.

2. QUOTA NEWS ALERT
In an effort to keep all members fully informed, we have just published on Quota International's Web Site (www.quota.org) all of the annual reports that are traditionally produced in Quota's convention notebook.

I invite you to visit this site and to view the reports from Quota's 2004-2005 year and to celebrate the many accomplishments that the members of Quota and the organization as a whole have achieved. You may also wish to print some or all of the reports so that you can share them with your fellow club members as well as reporting where members can find this publication on-line.

You will note that several lists of club award winners are included in the reports, and if you look you might find your club's name on one of those lists! We are celebrating the success of our clubs in the areas of membership recruitment and retention, fund-raising, and service. Please do check to see if your club is listed.

We have also published photographs of a celebration honoring outgoing 2004-2005 President Nicôl Lea and the installation of incoming 2005-2006 President Carolyn Rice.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Treiber
Executive Director
