Rotary ProtocolAttendance

• Weekly Attendance is a condition of membership
• A Make-up is allowed within /- 14 days (2 weeks)
  
• E-clubs forge new path for RotaryAmong the
  legislation proposed at the 2004 Council on
  Legislation in June was item No. 04-18, "to allow
  attendance credit for a 30-minute interactive
  club Web site activity." The passing of this item
  significantly expanded the definition of make-up
  meetings, and by extension, Rotary activity. Now,
  if a member misses a meeting, in order to receive
  attendance credit, he or she can go online. This
  offers an alternative to making up a meeting at
  another club.
• The Council's recognition both attests to the
  number of Rotary club Web sites - estimated at
  4,000 and growing - and highlights a recent trend
  in the Rotary world Web-based clubs that are not
  merely Web sites of physical clubs but legitimate
  clubs that exist exclusively on the Internet.
