Speech and Hearing Service Still Popular

In 2002-2003, service projects related to speech and hearing remain among the most popular efforts carried out by Quota clubs, says 2002-2003 International Hearing and Speech Committee Chair Enid Croes-Marugg (right), who also serves as Quota's South Area Director.

More than U.S. $384,000 were invested in speech and hearing related service during the past club fiscal year. In the past year, Quota volunteers provided:

• hearing screening for infants, students, and elderly persons
• audiology equipment for hospitals and screening training for staff
• sound amplification systems for elementary schools
• hearing aids and batteries
• instruction in sign language for children and adults
• field trips, camps, parties, and activities for hearing-impaired children
• a museum exhibit on the effects of noise
• tuition assistance

QI of Orillia, Ontario, Canada, created a project to help hearing-impaired persons take a taxi. Club President Laurie Neill (right) presented the story during Director Enid's presentation. The story will be included in an upcoming Quota publication.
