Members travelled from Walcha, Port Macquarie, Camden Haven, Gloucester and Forster-Tuncurry to join hosts, Taree Quota Club, in the celebrations.
"It was a lovely day, we had a lot of fun," said president of Taree Quota Club, Nancy Boyling.
"People enjoyed it and those from other clubs commented on Facebook on how they enjoyed catching up with old friends and making new ones.
"We also had some past members who came, as well as friends of Quota."
Russell Saunders began the official proceedings, playing the didgeridoo and giving the Welcome to Country, which Nancy said was one of the highlights.
MidCoast Council mayor David West and his wife Maureen, along with Member for Myall Lakes Stephen Bromhead and his wife Sue attended, with both mayor West and Mr Bromhead speaking, giving their well wishes and congratulating Quota on 100 years.
Also in attendance was the Regional 11 director Lorna Egli, who is a member of the Walcha Quota Club. The region stretches north to Tweed Heads, south to Gloucester and west to Quirindi.
The day also saw four new members inducted to Taree Quota Club; Pat Gaitskell, Anne Stevens, Robynn Haylen and Nancy Lewis, plus two of the club's eldest members, Joy Davey and Lilian Else took part in the cutting of the cake.
Ladies from the Taree Lions Club provided some of the entertainment.
Quota International was founded by Wanda Frey Joiner in Buffalo, New York, 100 years ago in February.
