Alan and Carolyn Sheppard were among those spruiking the flower’s merits on Friday in Forster on behalf of Quota, raising much needed funds for the Cancer Council. With three stalls across town, Quota raised $6950, down a bit on last year, which raised approximately $8000. Every year the region raises on average between $7000 to $8000. Quota has been hosting the event for more than 10 years.
