Our planned meetings and presenters can be seen on our event calendar, which is on our Event Calendar and Speakers pages. It is generally updated as events and dates are confirmed, though it is subject to change without notice.

To maintain our mandatory attendance rate of 50% or higher, club members are encouraged to make up missed meetings by attending those of other Rotary clubs.* This practice can be an enriching experience for individual Rotarians, as well as the clubs they visit and our own club, since it can provide us with a wider perspective of Rotary in action.

Here are meeting times and places for our nearest neighbor clubs for quick reference.

Here are some other meeting make-up options:

• Visit other clubs locally within our Rotary District 7390, or our nearest neighboring district, 7360.
• When traveling, use Rotary International's online club finder tool, or
• Use Rotary's app on your Android device to find a club meeting.
• Visit an eClub site, such as eClub one, or eClub of District 7390.*
• Board meetings, committee meetings, and other advertised club events, as well as District 7390 and Rotary International events, may also be counted toward attendance credits. However, credit can only be given if attendance is reported properly to the club secretary.*

For more information on attendance requirements, see our Membership Requirements page.

*To get credit for make-ups, our club secretary must receive a proper report. When visiting other clubs, ask their secretary for a signed make-up slip. When attending club functions, ask your commitee chair or the event coordinator to submit their attendance record for you. When visiting an eClub site, be sure to fill out the report and submit it properly. Use the following information:

• Club secretary's e-mail address: secretary@shippensburgrotary.org
• Your club name: Rotary Club of Shippensburg
• Your club district: 7390
• Date of missed meeting: Choose a weekly meeting date that you missed or expect to miss within two weeks of the make-up date. NOTE: Since the Rotary Club of Shippensburg meets Tuesdays, the "date of missed meeting" you designate will be (must be) a Tuesday!
