Overview of Rotary

• Rotary is an International organization, started
  by Paul Harris in Chicago in 1904.
• There are 32,000 Rotary clubs in the world with
  1.2 million members.
• At the International level Rotary is broken down
  into zones, the zones divided into Districts.
• We are in District 5050 29 clubs in Canada, 28
  in the United States.

9
Overview of Rotary (cont.)

• District 5050 is broken into 10 areas. We are
  area G. Areas are governed by a District Governor
  who reports to Zone Directors.
• Area G has 7 clubs. Two Oak Harbor clubs, two
  clubs in Anacortes, La Conner, San Juan Island
  and our club. An Assistant Governor is assigned
  to each area to act on behalf of the District
  Governor.
• Each Rotary club works differently due to size.

10
Overview of Rotary (cont.)

• Our Club works like this
• The board of directors governor the club.
  Unless a matter has to be voted on by the full
  membership the board of directors make the
  decisions. Board meetings are held each month and
  members of the club can attend. You do not have
  voting privileges but are able to speak at the
  meetings.
• Members are required to attended no less than 50
  of the regular weekly meetings. Attendance at
  board, special and committee meetings count
  toward required attendance when attended within
  two weeks of the missed meetings.
