The Quota International of Whitsunday club, held a social function at Whitsunday Gold Coffee (WGC) last Saturday, in what Quota Whitsunday president Kerrie McCallum-Coles says will be a series of events supporting local businesses.
“The club is supporting new businesses in the region by coming along and holding social functions,” Ms McCallum-Coles said, adding that WGC had also supported Quota by helping out at a recent conference.
Ms McCallum Coles said particularly in times like these, shopping locally and supporting local businesses was incredibly important.
“I think organisations like ours can help to promote local businesses like this. WGC is a particularly good one for our tourism too. One day hopefully everyone in the Whitsundays will be using WGC in their restaurants and cafes.”
Sales and marketing manager for WGC Ali Simpson said she was pleased to host Quota Whitsunday with the coffee farm proving the ideal function centre.
“There’s plenty of room for adults as well as children. It’s nice to have that alcohol free zone where everyone can come together as a club and include children,” Ms Simpson said.
Ms Simpson said WGC had also put in a bid for the Whitsunday region’s farmers’ market location.
“We’re centrally located between all of the interested centres,” she said.
Quotarians and their families enjoyed a coffee plantation tour and afternoon tea, which Ms McCallum Coles described as “Very informative”.
“I’d definitely recommend it as a visitor experience,” she said.
