Their motto is "we share". Their name too, captures that everyone gets their quota in funds raised. Quota Narooma is absolutely living out this vision.

Club president Sue Fahey listed the multitude of ways that Quota is serving the local Narooma community and, as the only Quota club in the Eurobodalla, the entire shire.

Quota raise money through a weekly meat raffle at Club Narooma and all this money goes back into the community.

They provide funds for a speech pathologist to work with children at Narooma Public School and construct programs suitable for children with hearing impediments, they work in aged care facilities showing love to our most senior citizens, they run an annual women's symposium, and help citizens become connected in the community as best they can.

Quota also organise an annual fine arts scholarship for a Narooma High School student, providing funds to help the student complete their major work for the HSC. In 2021, Quota helped finance the timber for a student-made bed frame.

However, Quota is self-fulfilling, because while the organisation tries to connect people to community organisations of interest and become a part of the community, that is exactly the role Quota fills themselves.

Ms Fahey has been in Quota approximately eight years, and was drawn to the group after seeing all the work they did in and for the Narooma community. She said it was the company of the people that kept her engaged in the group.

Quota members - of which there are roughly 25, aged between their 50s and 80s - meet twice a month, once for a business meeting and once for a social event. These are opportunities for members to enjoy each others' company, build relationships and support the local community.

Quota Club Narooma is celebrating their 35^th birthday in 2022.
