CLUB SERVICE
SERVICE by members to the workings of their Rotary Club - that service
that makes the Rotary wheel tum, providing the basic needs for good
operation of a Rotary Club. The Standard Club By-Laws require that each
club have the following Club Service Committees:
- ATTENDANCE:Toencourageregularattendance,make-ups for missed
meetings, promote incentives, find remedies for poor attendance, recommend
dismissals for failure to meet requirements.
- FELLOWSHIP: To promote acquaintance and fellowship, create an
atmosphere of cordiality and hospitality to members, guests and any
visiting Rotarians. To keep membership advised of birthdays, anniversaries,
special honors to members and those ill or disabled.
- PROGRAM: The heart of every good club. To prepare and arrange the
programs for each meeting - balanced in subject matter and covering one
of the Four Avenues of Service.
- MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: To review continuously the club
roster of filled and unfilled classifications and to present to the Board of
Directors the names of suitable persons for membership.
- CLASSIFICATION: Concerns itself with eligibility for membership from
the standpoint of the classification principle, remembering that classifications
are determined by service to society rather than by position.
- MEMBERSHIP: Evaluate prospective members' character and reputation
(both personal and company). Is the proposed member "service
minded", can attendance at weekly meetings and financial obligations of
membership be met?
- ROTARY INFORMATION: Inform members new and old of the privileges
and obligations of Rotary. This is a continuous program on the
workings of their club, their district, and Rotary International. A District
library of videos and slides is maintained to provide Rotary information.
These are the basic, required Club Service Committees mandated by the
Standard Club By-Laws but there are many other committees used
effectively by local clubs to fit their particular situation. Recommended and
most helpful are the committees for: The Weekly Bulletin, House Committee,
The Rotary Foundation, Youth Exchange, The Rotary Endowment
Program, and many others.
It should also be noted that Club Service is perhaps the first and best
indoctrination for all new members when accepted into membership.
