Oak Ridge Sunset Rotary - Meeting Makeup Opportunities

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)?

Attending club meetings ensures that members learn about the community -- its challenges and opportunities.

Club community service projects, fellowship activities, and participation in Rotary activities at the club, district, zone, 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 at Robertsville Middle School or Interact at ORHS, participating in fellowship events, etc.

Making up at other clubs exposes members to other professionals and their efforts to change the world and their communities for the better.

Online makeups offer information on Rotary history and action, leadership and management training, and areas of vocational and avocational interest.

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. 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.
