From Club Bylaws:
Section 5.4. Other Make-Ups. In addition to the Club meeting make-up options listed in 10.1 of the Club Constitution, members may make-up missed meetings via study or review of on-line Rotary resources and by any other means approved by the Board from time to time.
From Club Constitution:
Article 10
Attendance
Section 1 — General Provisions. Each member should attend this club’s regular meetings, or its satellite club’s regular meetings, and engage in this club’s service projects, events, and other activities. A member shall be counted as attending a regular meeting if the member:
(a) is present in person, by telephone, or online for at least 60 percent of the meeting;
(b) is present but called away unexpectedly and later presents to the board satisfactory evidence that leaving was reasonable;
(c) participates in the regular online meeting or interactive activity posted on the club’s website within one week after its posting; or
(d) makes up the absence in any of the following ways within the same year:
(1) attends at least 60 percent of the regular meeting of another club, a provisional club, or a satellite of another club;
(2) is present at the time and place of a regular meeting or satellite club meeting of another club for the purpose of attending, but that club is not meeting at that time or place;
(3) attends and participates in a club service project or a club-sponsored community event or meeting authorized by the board;
(4) attends a board meeting or, if authorized by the board, a meeting of a service committee to which the member is assigned;
(5) participates through a club website in an online meeting or interactive activity;
(6) attends a regular meeting of a Rotaract or Interact club, Rotary Community Corps, or Rotary Fellowship or of a provisional Rotaract or Interact club, Rotary Community Corps, or Rotary Fellowship; or

Section 2 — Extended Absence While Working at a Distance. If a member works on a distant assignment for an extended period of time, attendance at the meetings of a designated club at the site of the assignment replaces attendance at the regular meetings of the member’s club, if the two clubs agree.
Section 3 — Absence Because of Other Rotary Activities. An absence does not require a make-up if, at the time of the meeting, the member is:
(a) traveling with reasonable directness to or from one of the meetings specified in sub-subsection (1)(d)(7)
(b) serving as an officer or member of an RI committee or as a TRF trustee;
(c) serving as the special representative of the governor in forming a new club;
(d) on Rotary business in the employ of RI;
(e) directly and actively engaged in a district-sponsored, RI-sponsored, or TRF-sponsored service project in a remote area, where making up attendance is impossible; or
(f) engaged in Rotary business duly authorized by the board, which precludes attendance at the meeting.
