Welcome to Quota International of Baton Rouge! We are part of the first international women’s service organization founded by Wanda Frey Joiner in 1919. 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 will celebrate by hosting the 2010 District 21 Convention on June 4-6, with Quota Clubs from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas participating. Quota International of Baton Rouge also has the honor of having our member, Rosemary Hannie, serving as this year’s Quota International President. 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. Service projects have been funded in the past by our Annual Open Door Tour, which began in 1951. This year, I am excited to announce our new fundraiser, “Frocks & Frolics”. This event is unique to Baton Rouge and promises to be an afternoon of fun and fellowship for grandmothers, mothers, daughters, aunts, nieces and friends. Held at White Oak Plantation, the event will feature a high tea, a professional cake decorating competition, a boutique marketplace, and much more. The proceeds from this event will go towards expanding the Baton Rouge Speech & Hearing Foundation’s Autism Program. Mark your calendar now for Sunday, April 25! It is my privilege to serve Quota as President for 2009-2010 as we continue to make a difference in the Baton Rouge community. Sincerely, Stephanie Hughson, President
