It's Rotary International Convention time!  This year it's in Montreal from June 20-23.  Click HERE for info.

Rotary International strongly encourages clubs to have their members donate $100 to the Rotary Foundation over the course of every year. This can be done in one lump-sum check, or it can be spread out throughout the year. Be sure to note in the subject line of your check where you want the money to go - you can choose the Sunrise Rotary Foundation (so it stays in our account) or the International Foundation (so it goes to the main (International) Rotary fund.

Information on Making up Meetings

A club member must attend or make up at least 50% of regular club meetings in each half of the year (though some clubs may have more stringent requirements). Any missed meetings must be made up within 14 days of a regular meeting.  If traveling, club members are encouraged to visit clubs in the new area to make up a missed meeting.

Local Meeting Make-up Sites:      Sunset Rotary          Bloomington Rotary          Normal Rotary

Or, use the Club Locator to get meeting and contact information. It is considerate to call or e-mail before you show up for a meeting.

Note - some clubs will fine you if you don't wear your Rotary pin.  It's a good idea to have it on (because technically we're supposed to wear our pins to every meeting) just in case. Also, be ready to sing; it is the rare club that doesn't sing!

What to do if you can't find a meeting?

Rotarians often wonder what to do if there’s not a club where they travel or if an emergency causes them to miss a meeting.

One option is to attend a regular meeting of a local Rotaract club, Interact club, Rotary Community Corps or Rotary Fellowship. Attending one of these meetings counts as a make-up. Be sure to get a make-up form if one is available.

Another option is to participate in an interactive activity on the Rotary e-club Web site.

If 5 Rotarians gather at any time for a planned or club-related event, including service, it counts as a make-up meeting.  Fill out the form above and give to Keith Palmgren (Secretary) as soon as possible thereafter. (Note - many of us are active throughout the community in a variety of ways.  When 5 or more Rotarians happen to find themselves at a non-Rotary-related community or social activity, it cannot count as a make-up meeting. Similarly, if 5 or more Rotarians decide to head out after work for an "adult recreational beverage," it does not count as a make-up meeting.  Make-up meetings should be in the spirit of Rotary.)

NOTE:  Members must provide documentation of all meeting make-ups to Keith Palmgren, Secretary.  Members can only receive credit for make-up meetings during the current month. (So if you attended a make up meeting the first week of July for a meeting you missed the last week of June, you wouldn't receive credit for it in June; you would receive credit for it towards any missed meetings in July only.  That is to say, all paperwork is closed out on the last day of each month and cannot be revisited. )
