Welcome to Quota International of Baton Rouge! Our club is part of Quota International the first women’s service organization founded in 1919 by Wanda Frey Joiner. A successful business executive, Ms. Joiner wanted to provide women in business the opportunity to network with other professionals while giving back to their communities. We are now one of the 284 clubs in 14 countries around the world. In 1935, sixteen professional women formed the Quota Club of Baton Rouge. The club was led by Frances Landry, a well known attorney in Baton Rouge. Since that time, our membership has grown, along with our contributions to the local community. This year marks Quota’s 75th anniversary in Baton Rouge. We celebrated by hosting the 2010 District 21 Convention, June 4 – 6 with Quota Clubs from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas participating. Quota International of Baton Rouge also has the distinct honor of having three Past International Presidents; Francis Landry (1942 – 1944), Bobbie Carey (1996 – 1997) and Rosemary Hannie (2009 – 2010). Since our inception, members who are business owners, executives and professionals have upheld the Quota motto, “We Share”. Quota International of Baton Rouge is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. We are known for our service to deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired individuals as well as disadvantaged women and children. Quota members share the values of serving and encouraging others, developing friendships, and promoting international understanding. 2009 marked the development of a new fundraiser for the Baton Rouge club. These efforts culminated in 2010 with Frocks and Frolics, a Sunday Social for ladies young and young at heart. Through this very successful fundraiser Quota was able to provide funding for the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation’s Autism Program. Quota International of Baton Rouge has always been a club in motion retiring events and ideas that no longer produce our desired results while seeking dynamic, innovative ways to serve the Baton Rouge community which engages our members in activities that keep us coming back for more. We are a club that has successfully combined tradition and change throughout our 75 year history. Here’s to 75 more. Sincerely, Pam Fisher, President
