Rotary Perfect Attendance

Perfect attendance in Rotary is not as difficult as it was years ago for several reasons. The biggest reason is that a Rotarian now has from two weeks before until two weeks after a missed meeting to attend a make-up meeting. Prior to the change to this rule the period was only from one week prior until one week after. The second reason is the availability of Rotary e-clubs where a Rotarian can go online to an e-club and view a program for 30 minutes or more to qualify for attendance.

This allows the member to qualify for making up a meeting without having to attend in person. A third reason achieving perfect attendance is much easier is that many Rotary functions other than club meetings now can be counted as a make-up meeting. Examples include attendance at a Rotary board of directors meeting, participation in a Rotary community service event or fund-raising event,
