Special Roseland Rotary Bulleting
December 2015
As you may know Roseland Rotary has had low meeting attendance for some time.
As you may also know, South Side Rotary has disbanded and now we have learned the Sunrise Rotary Club has lost its accommodations as a result of low attendance. Roseland is still a viable club, however it to is feeling the effects of low attended meetings.
Those that attend meetings pay their dues and pay for weekly meetings. As a result of low attendance the quality of food served has deteriorated. Recently our accommodations have expressed a need for more money per attendee in order to continue supporting the cost of food and our accommodations. This continues to fall on the shoulders of those members that can attend meetings.
We realize that many of our good outstanding members cannot attend lunch meetings. Still we need their help in supporting the Roseland Rotary Club. Starting January 1, 2016 we will invoice members that do not attend a Rotary meeting $5.00 per meeting missed. Members that attend a makeup meeting will not be billed. These changes will be tracked very closely and revisited with the membership in 6 months.
We all need to realize why we joined and belong to Rotary. Rotary is a service club that does a great deal of good in our communities and in the world. If you can’t participate you can still be a good member by supporting Rotary.
Roseland Rotary’s new WORK CREDITS program,
A member who works a work detail will be credited 1 hour make up for 1 hour worked. A member who participates in an event will be credited with 1 hour for 1 hour participating in the event but this will not negate the $5.00 missed meetings charge. Working projects will help member’s attendance percentage.
Note; E-Make-Ups count as a make-up but do not negate the $5.00 missed meeting charge.
Note; We hope you will support the Roseland Rotary and continue to make it a strong and viable service club.
Should you have any questions please direct them to President Brian Bernth or Attendance Chair Person Ben Bendit.
Attendance Committee members include Derek Hayes and Jason Taege.
