Do I Have To Attend The Meetings?
The short answer is yes. Attendance is mandatory if you wish to maintain your "good standing." It is acceptable to miss a meeting if you make-up at another club. Rotary International states that members must attend at least 60% of their own club's meetings to be considerded "in good standing." Fellowship and participation are key to Rotary's continued success.
What Is A Member In Good Standing?
Members in good standing are those who have paid their annual membership dues, met the basic attendance requirements, served on one or more committees, honored their commitments, and made good on their pledge (ie. paid their fines).
How Do I Pay For My Fines?
Fines can be paid for the day they are assessed through the club treasurer. You may also fill out an IOU form provided by the sargeant at arms and be billed directly. Or, you can pay at a future meeting. Checks should be made out to the El Centro Rotary Club or the El Centro Rotary Club Foundation (making it a tax deductible 501c3 contribution). The choice is yours.
What Are The Pennants For In The Front Of The Room?
It's a tradition in Rotary when visiting a club outside of your own district to bring a flag to exchange with that club. Especially when traveling internationally. These small flags (pennants) are unique to each club and include imagery specific to the community they represent.
What's The Policy On Cell Phones?
The guideline for cell phones and other mobile devices is to be courteous and professional. The club recommends putting your phone in silent/vibrate mode or turning it off completely before the meeting begins.
Can I Bring A Guest To Meetings?
Rotarians are always encouraged to recruit new members. If you bring a guest, you are responsible for the cost of their lunch and are required to introduce them to the club when called upon to do so.
