Cathy C. - The responsibility of attending club meetings.  Rotary’s policy is to attend 50% of the meetings.  If you miss your own meeting, you should consider attending makeup meetings at other clubs.  Rotary.org has a listing of offsite meetings to make up any missed meetings. 

 

Attendance.    Attending club meetings allows members to enjoy their club’s fellowship, enrich their professional and personal knowledge, and meet other business leaders in their community.  Club meeting times vary to accommodate family as well as our professional commitments.  We Minnetonka Rotarians  decided the A.M. works best for our schedules, but clubs do meet morning, noon, and evening. 

 

Rotary policy requires members to attend at least 50 percent of club meetings in each half of the year.  If you miss our own club’s meeting, we should consider expanding our Rotary horizons by attending make-up meetings at other Rotary clubs, locally or around the world.  And you can always expect a warm welcome wherever you go.  Granted COVID 19 had altered that on-site open invitation, but you could be creative and join an on-line meeting of your choice.  Maybe a friend or relative belongs to a club where you could be a guest.

 

Find meeting places and times in the Official Directory, or through the Club Locator at www.rotary.org.

 

And remember you can also make up meetings by participating in a club service project or by attending a club board meeting, a Rotaract or Interact club meeting.

You joined Rotary to be involved in something rewarding.  You do have options even in these restrictive times.
