First question…

Which of these events happened first?
A. Rotary membership reaches one million B. Women first allowed to join Rotary

1985 A. Rotary membership reaches one million
Rotary Membership reached 1 million with Jean-Paul Moroval of France.

B. Women first allowed to join Rotary
1987 The idea of women in Rotary is not new. In 1910, at the first international convention, the president of the Rotary Club of Los Angeles was asked if they had a women’s auxiliary. He said “I think it’s a hard enough job handling two or three hundred men without having anything to do with ladies.” At the 1912 convention, Ida Buell of Duluth MN was allowed to address the group. She told them about the Women’s Rotary Club of Duluth and asked for support in starting them around the country. The Rotarian magazine described her speech as interesting and entertaining…but took no action. In 1920 the bulletin of the Rotary club of Edinburgh Scotland said “…we might give them an organization of their own and let them be Rotarianettes”. Wives were not generally invited to Rotary conventions, however at the 1914 convention, the president of the San Francisco club brought his wife. Because Rotarians were supposed to call each other by their first name, they asked hers and she replied Ann. During the entire event, she was referred to as their “Rotary Ann”. This term was used for the wives of Rotarians into the 1980s. In England, during the 1920s, the womenfolk of Rotarians formed a group to do community service and called themselves Inner Wheel. This idea grew and Inner Wheel clubs formed around the world and still exist in many areas. The turning point came in 1978, when the Rotary club of Duarte, CA admitted 3 women and Rotary International revoked the club’s charter. This was taken into the courts and reached the US Supreme Court in May 1987 – on a 7-0 vote against Rotary International and for the Rotary Club of Duarte. From that moment on, Rotary and all similar service organizations had to allow women to join. At the Council on Legislation, the rule making body of Rotary, in 1989, the rules were officially changed to allow women members.

He gave it to Rotary in 1954, when he was President of Rotary International. c. Arch Klumpf started what would become the Rotary Foundation when at the 1917 Rotary Convention he said “Carrying on as we are, a miscellaneous community service, it seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world”.

Rotary by-laws require what percentage of attendance by Rotarians?
60% 100% 50% 75%

Rotary by-laws require what percentage of attendance by Rotarians?
60% 100% 50% 75% Good Attendance is encouraged, because regular attendance promotes active participation by members. Perfect attendance is not required, but is a goal for many Rotarians. Knowing that people have events that may prevent them from being at every meeting, the bylaws allow for “make-ups”. Credit for a meeting is given when a member (within 14 days before or after his/her regular meeting) attends the meeting of another club, attends a Rotaract or Interact meeting, attends a convention of Rotary, attends and participates in a Rotary service project or attends a Board meeting. (Club constitution, Article Vlll, Section 1)

Put the following in the order of their size, smallest to largest:
Rotary Zone Rotary District Rotary International Rotary Club

Rotary Club Rotary District Rotary Zone Rotary International
The Rotary Club is the heart of Rotary – everything happens there. To assist clubs in getting the job done, they are grouped into districts – for training, for conferences, for programs – like youth exchange, ryla, GSE, etc – that each club would not be able to do on their own. The districts are then grouped into Zones – we are in Zone 28. There are 34 Zones in the world, each consisting of 12 or more districts. Zones provide additional training, representation on the board of directors, and assistance with programs through zone coordinators. All the zones are combined into Rotary International, administered by a President, a President-Elect and a Board of 17 Directors. The President for the coming year is Bill Boyd, from New Zealand.

Some districts have it in the spring, to celebrate the year just ending. Others have it in the fall to celebrate the beginning of a new Rotary year. All Rotary functions work on a July 1 to June 30 year. The district conference is there to recognize accomplishments, teach Rotarians about Rotary, motivate Rotarians and promote fellowship. PETS is a mandatory event of Rotary for all club presidents. The more you know about Rotary and the more motivated you are about a successful year, the more likely you are to have one. The international convention is held annually around the world. It is meant for every Rotarian and gives Rotarians a great way to see the world, while experiencing internationalism and the big picture of Rotary. This year’s convention will be in Denmark and Sweden – in 2 cities across a bridge from each other. Next year, you can plan a trip to Salt Lake City for the convention.

Polio Plus was started as:
a 3H grant in the Philippines a matching grant in India At the request of the UN As the result of a GSE team Past RI President Clem Renouf started a program called the 3-H program… Health Hunger and Humanity. This was designed to provide funding for larger more encompassing projects. The Philippine project’s goal was to immunize every child in the Philippines against polio – being that it was an island and could be isolated and monitored. It was such a success that RI realized the the earth is such an island and with enough money and volunteers, Rotary could spearhead a world wide immunization against Polio – eliminating it from the planet. It is almost done. There are only a few pockets of polio still existing and until those are stopped, the disease could rise up again.

Every Rotarian, Every Year means that every Rotarian is
expected to give something to TRF each year expected to bring in a new member each year expected to participate in a service project each year expected to attend a district event each year. Every Rotarian, Every Year was designed to encourage all Rotarians, no matter what their financial ability, to give something each year. Without annual support, the Foundation programs would not exist. Rotary’s goal is to reach an average of $100 per member per year, worldwide. The figure of $100 per member per year is approached as an average. Where $100 in one year is pretty minimal to an American or a Canadian…it is much of an annual wage in a developing country. We in the affluent countries of the world have to do better than $100 per year to help those who can’t meet the average. That $100 per year goes into the Annual Fund of Rotary International….

A Sustaining member is one who…
Has perfect attendance for one year Supports a Rotary project Gives $100 every year Gives $1000 every year

A Sustaining member is one who…
