Name Badges
Personalized name badges are presented to each new member on the day of his/her induction to be worn at each meeting of the club. At the end of each meeting the badges are deposited in a receptacle provided for their safekeeping and are again made available upon your arrival at the next meeting. Newly-inducted members are provided with special red badges to encourage introduction to other club members. The blue permanent badge is presented when the new member has completed specified projects.
Weekly Luncheons
Meetings are held at 12:00 noon each Thursday (except major holidays) in the dining room at Fasig-Tipton, Kentucky at 2400 Newtown Pike.
Attendance rules are clearly defined by international and club by-laws:
1. You may not miss more than three (3) consecutive meetings. The fourth absence (without a makeup) constitutes grounds for possible termination.
2. You may make up a missed meeting by attending the meeting of any other Rotary
club two weeks immediately preceding or two weeks immediately following the day
of your meeting. You are required to present to your club a make-up card which will
be provided to you by the visited club as evidence of the makeup. You may also
make up a meeting on line by logging on to www.rotaryeclubone.org.
3. You must attend at least fifty percent (50%) of the weekly meetings in each six-month calendar period.
4. You must remain in attendance at each home-club meeting for no less than 60% of the meeting to get attendance credit.
Classification System
The Rotary classification system is set up to develop a representative cross-section of qualified persons within the club’s territory.
Active members are classified in accordance with their business or profession based on the recognized activity of the firm, company or institution represented, or may be based on the member’s recognized business profession.
Classifications do not indicate a position held by the member in the business or profession, e.g., “medicine, orthopedics”, not “medicine, chief of orthopedic surgery”.
