ANNUAL FEES:
Every member
inducted into the Club shall pay an annual fee, currently $180.00. This fee
includes a subscription to the monthly magazine “Rotary Down
Under” and covers administrative costs for Rotary International,
District Levy, Insurance and club expenses.
MEAL COSTS:
Each member
is responsible for the cost of his/her own meal and personal guests. (If a
member invites a guest with the intent of introducing the guest to
membership, the Club will pay for one visit). The current charge is $21 per
meal. If a member is attending the meeting only and not partaking of the meal,
an attendance charge of $3 only is levied.
ATTENDANCE:
The Club
meets every Tuesday evening at North Ballarat Sports Club, Creswick Road
at 6pm for a 6.15pm start. Meetings conclude at 7.30pm unless it is a
special evening.
TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP:
Retaining
membership depends on attending not less than 50% of Club meetings in the
Rotary year. Termination of membership can occur if a member fails to
attend four consecutive dinner meetings without having requested leave.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE:
Upon written
application to the Secretary of the Club setting out good and sufficient
reasons, leave of absence may be granted, excusing a member from attendance
for a specified period of time.
APOLOGIES:
If a member
is unable to attend a regular meeting of the Club, an apology is expected
by 12 noon Tuesday because of catering arrangements.
MAKE-UPS:
Any member
absent from the Club may “make-up” such absence by attendance
at any of the following - a regular meeting of another Rotary Club; our
Rotaract Club if on roster; participating in a Club Service project or club
sponsored community event; a Board meeting or service committee meeting (if
approved by Board); such attendance needs to be within two weeks either
side of date of absence. The make-up is then credited to the member’s
attendance record. There are other ways you can gain credit for attendance
that are not stated here – see Secretary for details.
