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. 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).
1. Read a variety of current articles in the programs
section and/or choose articles from the Archived Programs list and/or
information from the Avenues of Service pages. You will be required to
answer questions. There is space on the makeup request form for up to three
articles to be reviewed, however you will need to read more than three to
meet your 30 minute visit obligation.
2. At the end of your 30 minute visit, click on
Make-up Request Form from the drop-down menu at the top of the page OR the
bottom of each make-up program.
3. Read the Makeup Request Form carefully, and follow
instructions. The form will appear once you press the SUBMIT button (one
time only) and an email copy will be sent to the email address you proved.
This can be forwarded to your club secretary so your attendance records are
properly updated.
Rotarians can also designate eClub One as
their home club. Members in eClub One are usually experienced Rotarians who
are unable to belong to a traditional club because they reside in a remote
location or they are engaged in a demanding travel schedule. Those applying
for membership in eClub One must provide an endorsement from their current
District Governor, current Rotary club President, along with letters of
reference from two Rotarian colleagues of their current club..
eClub One has standard requirements for memberships,
including charges for dues and administrative fees. Participants also must
be willing to take part regularly in the Rotary eClub One community by
taking on tasks and responsibilities. Members are required to also have
regular access to the Internet and be willing to acquire the necessary
skills to participate in the activities of Rotary eClub One.
Rotary and eClub One are on the cutting edge of the
technology age. How this evolves will only be determined by periodic
evaluation and the involvement of its members. For today, however, it is an
outstanding tool for Rotarians to makeup missed meetings and keep in touch
with Rotary happenings throughout the world.
