Membership Requirements

Charleston - Vandalia Rotary Club
Membership Requirements

Attendance:

Rotary International requires 60% (sixty percent) attendance at weekly meetings, which can be achieved by attending our Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. breakfast meetings, participating in any project sanctioned by the Club or attending any committee meeting, district conference, Club Board Meeting or International Conference.

It is the responsibility of the Club member to make up missed meetings and for reporting it to the Club Secretary, Karen Price (304) 342-2123 or via email.

Attendance waivers can be secured by a formal vote of the Board of Directors. If due to legitimate, temporary circumstance such as illness, family or business demands, a member knows he/she will be unable to attend weekly meetings, a written request should be made to the Board of Directors for their approval. The member will still be required to pay dues and assessments but the weekly breakfast fee will be waived during the time a member has been approved for excused absence.

Dues and Assessments:

The Vandalia Rotary Club has agreed on the following rates:

  • Club and Rotary dues @ $100 per year, billed semi-annually (July 1 st and January 1st ).
  • $100 per year, billed semi-annually for the Sustaining Member of Rotary International. Each Rotarian is expected to participate in this commitment. Larger amounts may also be paid in this manner to the Rotary Foundation.
