2013 – what a wet start to Quota Carindale’s 25th year as a service club.
Our club began this year on a busy note starting in January with a Sausage Sizzle held at Masters, and in February, with a get-together of members for an Afternoon Tea.
On 2nd March, twenty of Quota Carindale members and their friends braved the bad weather to attend a Trivia Night fundraiser at the Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre. The fundraiser was organised by Alpha Beta Phi Chapter members (another women’s community group) and colleagues of Stampin’ Up in order to raise monies to help in the support of a family whose husband and father was tragically killed in a car accident in January.
Despite the bad weather, a good turnout was received 175 people turned up for a fun night. Raffle and door prizes were donated by various organisations in the community, one such prize being a Bar Fridge.
The night consisted of rounds of questions based on a theme, in this case, the 80’s. Topics ranged from sports to movies to music to general knowledge. Games were also played including, who could make the best paper plane and how far could it fly. The winner was a gentleman who was able to manoeuvre his plane the full length of the function room. Participants if they so wished were asked to dress as their favourite 80’s character or in their favourite 80’s clothing. The winner was out of Miami Vice. A light supper was also provided.
Monies raised was in the vicinity of $5000.
Although our two tables did not feature in the top 3, a very enjoyable night was had by all and I guarantee everyone went away looking forward to the next one.

And now here are the winners of the Trivia night. Don't they look happy and a little suprised?
