ROTARY CLUB - ATTENDANCE RULES

Fellowship, the essence of ROTARY, can only be achieved and fostered by the regular attendance at the weekly club meetings.  Aim to be a100% Rotarian.

2. Members are encouraged to contact the Club President or Secretary should business or personal  circumstances pose attendance problems.
