The dinner party theme was navy, and the night recognised the hard work and commitment of the Quota club members throughout the year.
Among those recognised was member Sue Holt, who would be celebrating her 40 years with Lithgow Quota Club in June.
Mrs Holt received a certificate and a gift, and said it took her by surprise.
"I've had 40 very good years and made a lot of friends," she said.
"I've also learnt a lot about human nature and using your own abilities to assist others," she said.
Lithgow Quota president Noela Williams said Sue was a much loved member and the go to person for knowledge and organisational skills.
Mrs Williams also said the night was about the installation of the club's new committee for the 2019/20 year and a presentation of cheques.
"It's my pleasure to welcome you all here tonight, we have representatives from a number of community groups and tonight is about enjoying each other's company and friendship," she said.
Lithgow City mayor Cr Ray Thompson was also in attendance and thanked Quota for the invite.
