DID YOU MISS A MEETING ‘BECAUSE
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:
Visit www.ri6990.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.
How to do a Make-Up On-Line via Rotary eClub One?
Perfect attendance is now possible for every Rotarian with
computer access. Rotary’s eClub One is a full-service online charted Rotary
Club. Meetings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What an easy way
to make up for a meeting that you have missed! During the last Rotary year,
Rotary eClub One welcomed more than 120,000 visitors from 161 countries. Of
these, about 800 per week participated in one of eClub One’s meeting
programs and applied for make-up credit.
Here’s what you have to do
to earn make up credit. Go to http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/eclub_list.pdf
It is mandatory that you spend at least 30 minutes on the
website for qualify for a make-up credit. (Remember Rotarians are guided by
the principles of the 4 Way Test).
