DID
YOU MISS A MEETING ‘CAUSE YOU WERE AWAY?
Our
club goal is 100% Attendance!
If
you miss a meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of
the missed meeting date.
For online make-ups:
http://www.rotary.org/newsroom/downloadcenter/pdfs/eclub_list.pdf
Visit www.rotary6990.org to find a club
to make up an absence. Attendance
credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an
alternative to making up a meeting at another club. To earn this credit,
Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of subjects, post
comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
For make-ups
