O
ne of the lesser-known Rotary acronyms is COL -- the Rotary Council on Legislation. The Council meets once every three years. This year Past District Governor Jim Nelson (City of Lakes) represented District 5950 when COL met from April 13-18 in Chicago.
Representatives of every Rotary District approve changes that will influence Rotary's future. Three changes that have direct impact on the clubs are:
- A $1.00 dues increase for each year for three years, starting July 1, 2020;
- A Rotarian can no longer be Club President for more than two years; and
- Small clubs (under six members) can be terminated upon the request of the Governor and approval of the Board.
