Quota International Neon Family Fun Walk

ORANJESTAD — Quota International Aruba is a ser-
vice club comprised of executive women who orga-
nize various activities in order to be of service to the
Aruban community. They concentrate on helping the
hearing and visually impaired and also the women
and children in distress.

One of their annual activities is the Shatter Silence
Week. This event has been held for 30 consecutive
years. It reflects on the big dark silence in which a per-
son falls when they lose their hearing. With the loss of
their hearing they lose total communication with the
outside world. Your hearing is what determines your
senses and a good communication with others. One
of the main goals of Quota International of Aruba, is
to bring awareness to our community and to empha-
size the importance of taking care and protecting of
your hearing. The Shatter Silence Week will take place
from September 17th till September 21st of 2018.

Quota International Aruba will be starting the Shatter
Silence Week with a Neon Family Fun walk. This will
take place on Saturday September 15th 2018 at the
Goldmine Ruins at Bushiribana. The events starts at
7pm. The route will be Bushiribana to Natural Bridge
and back to Bushiribana. Every one registered for
the walk will receive a neon stick and refreshments.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the club
there will be an additional prize for the best deco-
rated shirt for this event.
