Calling all knitters & crocheters!

Quota Club Coolum would like to create a cascade of poppies in memory of those who gave their lives for our country to display on Anzac Day 2026.

Help uS make poppies!

Can you help us?!

The poppies will be attached to netting to create a cascade from a suitable tree, wall or building in Coolum Beach Qld - Anzac Day 2026 and onwards.

"From the moment I met this enthusiastic group of women, I knew I had found my place. It's impossible not to be inspired by their energy"
"It's so rewarding to know that all our hard work, and fun, contributes to supporting the less fortunate in our community"
"I really enjoy our craft mornings, learning something new and sharing a good cuppa and conversation"
"Joining Quota opened the door to the local community, giving me lasting friendships and a wonderful outlet for my passion for sewing and craft through fundraising"

What our members say

" Quota allows me to support those in our community who are less fortunate. I have been lucky in my life, but many others have not had the same opportunities "

Hannah Tebbutt - Secretary

" 25 years ago, I was asked to join Quota. A decision that has made such a difference to my life. I have made life-long friends, enjoyed new experiences with Quotarians of other clubs within Australia and around the world. I took on positions, and my personal growth taught me so much more than I would ever conceive. You give, but you get so much more "

Robyn Brydon - Treasuer

" I joined Quota Coolum 10 years ago after a friend of mine, who had been a member for a while, introduced me to a few of the ladies. I had been to a few of their fundraisers and was inspired by their generosity in giving up their time and energy to help fundraise for those less furtunate than us. I love the fact that I can make craft, sew and cook and attend our craft group for more inspiration. I love all the ladies and their individual strengths that make our Club such a wonderful group to be a part of. "
