Mayor Dave Bosen read a proclamation Wednesday honoring the Quota Club of the Cedar Valley on its 100th anniversary, and club members described the group's literacy and hearing‑and‑speech work at a brief ceremony.
The proclamation noted the club traces its roots to June 10, 1926, and recognized a century of volunteer service, fundraising and community partnership. "100 years strong, still serving, still changing lives," said Jeie, this year's Quota president, echoing the centennial theme and inviting the public to a celebration on June 17 at the Diamond Event Center.
Members spoke about the group's programs and service history. Marca said the club's Cops and Kids literacy program has distributed "over 105,000 books since we started in 2004," a longtime effort to strengthen relationships between youth and law enforcement. Cindy noted the group's depth of experience, saying the membership collectively represents "570 years of experience," and announced the centennial reception will be held June 17 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Diamond Event Center.
Mary, identifying herself as a long‑time member, described two regular fundraisers — the benefit brunch (now in its 76th year, according to the proclamation) and the nut sale (a 43‑year tradition) — that provide financial support for the club's service projects and bring members together. Rose summarized the club's mission: promoting literacy, supporting people with hearing or speech challenges, and meeting community needs.
The proclamation also cited partnerships with local hearing‑and‑speech organizations and the University of Northern Iowa to provide scholarships and other support. The text of the proclamation, read aloud during the ceremony, formally recognized the centennial and extended the city's gratitude to current and past members for their volunteer work.
After the proclamation was read, the mayor and attendees congratulated members and the mayor presented the proclamation; a club representative (identified during the ceremony as "Genie") accepted it on behalf of the group. The centennial celebration is scheduled for June 17 at the Diamond Event Center.
The ceremony focused on recognition and celebration; no formal votes or policy actions were taken.
