The ABC of Rotary.

RI World Headquarters.
Chicago, Illinois, USA.
By 1987 moved to its own 18 story building in Evanston. It has 190- seat auditorium, 300 seat cafeteria and office space for 500 employees of the Worlds Headquarters. It is also known as One Rotary Center.

Room 711 – Rotary’s birthplace.
Initially located at Unity Building, 127 North Dearborn Street, where Paul Harris had first meeting which led to the birth of Rotary movement. In 1994 Room 711 was re-created at RI World Headquarters. Paul Harris 711 Club was formed to provide funds for leasing, maintenance and preservation of this miniature museum which has become popular stop over for Rotarians all over the world.

Nonattendance Rules.
Three conditions which may cause Rotarian’s membership be automatically terminated are;
1..Failure to attend or make up four consecutive club meetings.
2..Failure to attend or make up 60% of club meetings each six months.
3..Failure to attend at least 30% of the meeting of own club in each six month period.
Under any of these three cases, a member will lose Rotary membership unless the club Board of Directors has been previously consented to excuse such failure for good and sufficient reason.
When a member misses four consecutive regular meetings, the board will inform him or her that nonattendance may be considered a request to terminate his or her membership.
These rules may seem unusually rigid, however, being present at a club meetings is one of the basic obligations a member accepts upon joining a rotary Club. Rotary is a participatory organization that highly values regular attendance. When a member is absence the entire club loses the personal association with that member. So being present at a club meeting is considered a vital part of the operation and success of every Rotary Club.
