Happy New Year and Welcome to District 37Although everyone has started preparing for events being held early in 2010 most members have had a well earned break over Christmas and January. But Quota International of Whakatane and Quota International of Opotiki took advantage of the influx of summer visitors with their popular annual Book fests during late December and January. Proceeds from these will go back to their communities.
Eleven members from District 37, and five partners, attended the South Pacific Area Meeting in Geelong, Victoria. This bi-annual meeting is held over three days so Quotarians from Australia, Fiji and New Zealand can meet together to share service and fundraising ideas to take back to their Clubs and learn more about Quota’s international service programmes. However just as important is the opportunity to renew friendships and meet many new friends from other districts. The New Zealanders then joined with other Quotarians on a post-meeting Melbourne Cup tour which also included further sightseeing in the area surrounding Melbourne. What a week that was to experience.

District 37 Clubs have been amazing with their various events so far this year. The warmth of all clubs was shown by the generous donations to assist others in our Quota world and the service projects in their local communities.
