One of President James’s goals for this Rotary year is “Back to Basics”. Of these goals, attendance is a very important part of being a Rotarian. Our club goal is make as many meetings as possible with a minimum of 60% attendance. Regularly attending meetings accomplishes three things. It fosters fellowship among club members, provides opportunities to meet new people and reconnect with long-time friends, and keeps you current on club, district, and Rotary International news and events. President James suggested that each Rotarian call a friend or encourage one member you missed last week to come to the following meeting. There are several ways to make up missed meetings. A list will be at the bottom of each edition of the Nerve for Rotarians wishing to make up a missed meeting.
