101 Rotary Facts #66
Most Rotary clubs ring a bell to call a meeting to order or to adjourn a meeting. Both bells and gavels have a long association with Robert’s Rules of Order, the definitive manual of parliamentary procedure in North America. Early Rotary leaders adopted Robert’s Rules as a way to govern meetings.

Rotary Name Badge
With 16 new members, it is time to wear your Rotary name badge.  The club maintains duplicate name badges for you one in the morning and afternoon badge box.  A name badge is an instant introduction which tells a person who you are your classification.…so you’re no longer a stranger.
 
Look for our new members who will be wearing a RED badge indicating that they are new members and make a connection and get to know them
 
A goal of our club is to build fellowship and wearing your name badge helps each member to learn the names of other members.  You may think you know every member in the club and you probably do know most everyone.  Test yourself at a meeting and go around and see if you know every individual in the room.  We always have visitors and new comers.  Let 's make everyone feel welcome!
