Quota International of Valdosta meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the James H. Rainwater Convention Center on Norman Drive at 1 p.m. for lunch. Click here for meeting schedule and click here to contact us. Meetings last approximately one hour. We have one program meeting and one business meeting per month and ask that members attend at least 8 meetings per year. We close each meeting with our "collect", our creed which is:
Quench in our hearts, O Lord, all fires of selfishness.
Unfold to us the joys of true friendship.
Open our minds to a better understanding of service.
Teach us the real meaning of sharing.
And help us to hold high those principals of Quota for which we stand.
Quota's fundraising projects are the Taste of Valdosta and Holiday Gift Wrap at the Mall. Community projects include a children's back-to-school party, Heart Walk and Community Closet Cleanout.
