MIDLAND ROTARY CLUB

What are the attendance requirements?
 
An attendance record of 60 percent is required to remain an

active Rotarian. Any missed meeting must be made up within 14 days before or after the regular meeting. To accommodate busy schedules, there are various opportunities to make up missed meetings.

For additional attendance information, see Rotary Club Constitution.

Make-ups

There are many ways that you can still receive attendance credit if you cannot attend you club meeting.

    * Attend a meeting of another club
    * Attend a meeting of a Rotaract or Interact club, Rotary Community Corps, or Rotary Fellowship
    * Attend certain district or RI meetings
    * Participate in club-sponsored event or service project
    * Attend a club board or service committee meeting with authorization of the club board
    * Participate in an E-club meeting for at least 30 minutes

      (Article 9, Section 1 of the Club Constitution)

Meeting Make-up

Please see "Attendance" below

One of the many benefits of Rotary Club membership is the luxury of being able to travel the world and never miss a weekly meeting. Club members are welcome and encouraged to visit clubs while traveling to make-up the meeting missed back home.

But Rotarians often ask what options exist if there is not a club in the area of travel, or if the member is home but an emergency causes him or her to miss a meeting.

One option is to attend a regular meeting of a local Rotaract or Interact club, Rotary Community Corps, or Rotary Fellowship. According to Article VIII, Section 1a of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, attending one of these meetings counts as a make-up.

Another option is to spend time participating in an interactive activity on a Rotary e-club Web site. Rotary International has approved the request for a limited number of clubs to form with virtual or electronic locations. A visit to one of these e-clubs may satisfy a club member's make-up requirement. Please check with your club secretary and the e-club of interest to see if this online visit counts.
