leadership to prepare a recommendation for club committees, mandates, goals and

plans for presentation to the board in advance of the commencement of the year as

noted above.

Upon written application to the board, setting forth good and sufficient cause, leave of

absence may be granted excusing a member from attending the meetings of the club

district and international fees.

Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the board shall prepare a budget of estimated

income and expenditures for the year, which shall stand as the limit of expenditures for

these purposes, unless otherwise ordered by action of the board. The budget shall be

requirements of the standard Rotary club constitution.

The board shall approve or disapprove the proposal within 30 days of its submission,

and shall notify the proposer, through the club secretary, of its decision.

the purposes of Rotary and of the privileges and responsibilities of membership,

following which the prospective member shall be requested to sign the membership

proposal form and to permit his or her name and proposed classification to be

presented to the club.

If no written objection to the proposal, stating reasons, is received by the board from

any member (other than honorary) of the club within seven (7) days following

presentation of information about the prospective member, that person, upon payment

of the admission fee (if not honorary membership), as prescribed in these bylaws, shall

be considered to be elected to membership.

If any such objection has been filed with the board, it shall vote on this matter at its next

meeting. If approved despite the objection, the proposed member, upon payment of the

admission fee (if not honorary membership), shall be considered to be elected to

membership.

Following the election, the president shall arrange for the new member's induction,

membership card, and new member Rotary literature. In addition, the president or

secretary will report the new member information to Rl and the president will assign a

member to assist with the new member's assimilation to the club as well as assign the

new member to a club project or function.
