Participation is an important part of a Rotarian's commitment, and a 50% requirement is part of our obligation to Rotary International's Standard Club Constitution. That means that all Rotarians are expected to attend/participate in meetings and activities that keep them connected to the club.

Why does it matter (and what are your options)?

Club community service projects, fellowship activities, and participation in Rotary activities at the club, district, zone, regional, and international level also provide make-up opportunities that help members stay connected to Rotary's ideal of Service above Self. This includes tutoring in the elementary schools, work with YouthAct in the middle schools, partaking of fellowship events, etc.  (If no one is taking attendance on behalf of ORBRC, send an email noting your participation and providing the date.)

Rotarians have a four-week window -- two weeks before or two weeks after -- to make up a missed meeting.

Make-ups should be turned in to the attendance desk or emailed to attendance@orbrc.org. We must report attendance data to Rotary International by the 15th of each month for the previous month, so please communicate your make-ups as quickly as you can.

NOTE:  It is the responsibility of the convener of a meeting to send a list of attendees to attendance@orbrc.orgin a timely manner, and the responsibility of the individual member to ensure that he or she is listed as attending.

Makeups are listed in weekly in the club bulletin, Breakfast Bytes.
