Four Avenues of Service Rotary Protocol: Attendance Weekly Attendance is a condition of membership A Make-up is allowed within +/- 14 days (2 weeks) E-clubs forge new path for Rotary Among the legislation proposed at the 2004 Council on Legislation in June was item No , "to allow attendance credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity." The passing of this item significantly expanded the definition of make-up meetings, and by extension, Rotary activity. Now, if a member misses a meeting, in order to receive attendance credit, he or she can go online. This offers an alternative to making up a meeting at another club. The Council's recognition both attests to the number of Rotary club Web sites - estimated at 4,000 and growing - and highlights a recent trend in the Rotary world: Web-based clubs that are not merely Web sites of physical clubs but legitimate clubs that exist exclusively on the Internet.
