What is the A/E (Attendance Excused) status some of our members have?
| A. |
When you have been a member for 5 years, and the number of years you have been a member plus your age is 85 or more, you are eligible to become Attendance Excused when you are 65 or older. You must request this status to the Board for approval, which is automatic. This relieves you of the Rotary requirement to attend meetings, and you are only billed for the meals that you attend, not for the meals you miss. |

How can I change my address or phone number in the Roster?

There are 2 ways to do this:
(1). You can access your own record by clicking on your Photo. You can then elect to have your personal Username / Password sent to you. Then you can access and change your own record.
(2). If you do not have e-mail, or wish the club secretary to do so, please inform the Secretary by e-mail of any change in your information. He / she will update the Roster.

Do you happen to have a contact number for Julie Anderson? She was a member a few years ago.
| A. |
When you go into the Club Roster page, there is a choice of New Members, Past Members, Address Changes, etc. Most of the past members have not forwarded any change information, so what you will see in most cases is the last information for the past member, when he/she resigned. |
|

I have an idea for a Rotary Program. Who do I send the information to?
|
| 17. |
I remember a recent program. Is there anyway to look at past Rotagrams to get more info?
| A. |
The past Rotagrams for the last 10 years is kept on the Web Site.
On the left side of the first page, click on Rotagram
This will bring up the most recent Rotagram. In the upper left corner of each Rotagram, you will see 3 arrows. The left arrow will progress to the previous Rotagram. The right arrow will proceed to the next Rotagram. The Up arrow will open an Index, to select a past month within the most recent 7 years. The little house will exit to the Home page again.

There seem to be so many requests for donations made of me. What are the meaning of these? The Recognition Chair is accessing fines of the members. Does this cost me more?
| A. |
There is the Annual Community Investment Donation request, where you make a pledge of what you wish to donate to our Community Investment Program. This pledge is done at the start of each Rotary year (in June or July).This is then billed quarterly, separately from your Rotary bill. The consequence of the recognition fine is irrelevant - and has no impact on your Rotary costs. The Community Investment Committee meets and decides where to allocate the available funds our club donates to our community.
Another donation program, the Paul Harris Fellowship program is sponsored by Rotary International, and supports primarily the international outreach projects of Rotary International. There are several local projects also sponsored by this donation - including RYLA. (Rotary Youth Leadership Activity) To become a sustaining member of the Paul Harris Fellowship program, you must donate $100 per year; when you have donated $1,000, you may designate someone (possibly yourself) as a Paul Harris Fellow. Our club became a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club in 2006, and only a few of our newer members are not Paul Harris Fellows now.

I’m moving. How do I transfer my membership to a club in my new area?
| A. |
Visit the new club, request to be processsed as a new member. Because each Rotary club is self-governing, however, membership isn’t directly transferable. Once you’ve been accepted for membership in the new club, you should resign your membership in your former club, as of your admittance date to your new club. |
