Quick Guide to Attendance

Rotary Club of Truro

Member Attendance

A Quick Guide

• Attendance: Members are expected to attend at least50 percent of regularmeetings.  On no account should four consecutive meetings be missed without excuse or makeup.
• Make-ups. You may get attendance credit if you miss a club meeting if, within 14 days before or after the missed meeting, you meet one of the following conditions:
  • Attend a regular meeting of another Rotary Club
  • Serve on Rotary business as an RI committee officer or member, a Rotary Foundation trustee, or district governor's special
  • Attend or travel with reasonable directness to or from a RI Convention, RI committee meeting, District conference or any District committee meeting held by direction of district governor
  • Participate directly and actively in a service project sponsored by the district, RI, or The Rotary Foundation in a remote area where a make-up opportunity isn't possible
  • Attend and participate in a club service project or club-sponsored community event or meeting authorized by the board
  • Attend a board meeting or, if authorized by the board, a meeting of a service committee to which the member is assigned
  • Participate through a club Web site in an interactive activity requiring an average of 30 minutes of participation
  • Process . Please let the attendance chair know about the makeup as soon as you can so it can be credited. (Don't assume they know)
• Leave of Absence .  Given good and sufficient cause, a leave of absence from attending the meetings of the club for a specified length of time may be granted by the Board upon written application.
• Excused attendance. Members whose combined age and years of membership (in one or more clubs) totals at least 85 years may submit a written notice to the club secretary, asking to be excused from attendance.
