Since the pandemic began in March, all members have been given 100% attendance. This will change. You will no longer automatically be granted 100% attendance.
Effective September 1, 2020, attendance will be taken at Zoom meetings.
In order to maintain your attendance record, you must either attend a Zoom Meeting or Rotary Rendezvous as a make-up or provide a make-up with another Club.
New Members Proposed
Providing no objections are received from the membership within seven days of this publication, the proposed members of Mo Mazahari and Jose Lopez will be admitted into the Rotary Club of Lancaster.
While we are going to miss your smiling facing at Rotary Rendezvous this week we hope to see you at our next meeting. As a reminder we meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. Below, we've listed the next few meetings so you can save the dates.
If you'd like to attend, please remember to RSVP the week of the meeting. We have limited space as Stoner Grille is observing social distancing rules and masks are required in the building. Please remember spouses and friends are always welcomed!
