How does this annual program work?

• STEP 1: Plan Your Project
  Conduct an existing service project or plan something new. You can plan a "hands-on" project, partner with another agency or charitable group, or plan a fund-raiser for Quota Cares Month and donate your gift to a worthy cause. Whatever you do, think "newsworthy" from the start! Please remember that your project must take place in March. Click here* for a FREE Quota Cares Month Planning Kit.
  
  
• STEP 2: Go the Extra Mile…
  A good service project not only benefits those being served. It can also strengthen a club's fund-raising, recruitment, retention, and publicity efforts. No matter what service project you select, involve ALL club members and think about coordinating recruitment, fund-raising, and PR opportunities from the start. And don't forget to make it FUN (remember…retention is important, too!). QI of Kalamazoo, Michigan, U.S.A., used their service project to recruit new members, raise funds, and increase their community visibility. If it worked for them, it can work for you! Tips for doing so are contained in the Planning Kit. (To get the most from your Quota Cares Month project, we suggest that you begin planning your project at the start of your club's Quota year.)
  
  
• Step 3: Report Your Success!
  Carry out your project and report your success on the QUOTA CARES MONTH SUCCESS FORM no later than April 15. Click here* to print the form. Quota Cares Month Awards will be given to projects that address club service, publicity, recruitment, and retention. Five winning projects will be selected and honored at convention. After Quota Cares Month ends, we will announce the contest winners and share highlights of club service successes worldwide.
