Information on Making up Meetings
BNSR Club members must attend or make up at least 50% of regular club meetings in each half of the year. If traveling, club members are encouraged to visit clubs in the new area to make up a missed meeting.
Bloomington/Normal Locations for Makeup Meetings Include:
Bloomington-Normal Sunset Rotary - (Wed 5pm Bank of IL Building, Normal)
Bloomington Rotary - (Thurs 12pm Second Presbyterian Church, Bloomington)
Normal Rotary - (Wed 12pm ISU Bone Student Center)
Central Catholic High School Interact (contact CCHS for meeting info)
ISU Rotaract (contact Jodi for meeting info)
Eureka Rotary Club (Tues 12pm Eureka College Cerf Center)
Or, use the Club Locator to get meeting and contact information. It is considerate to call or e-mail before you show up for a meeting.
Be sure to get a make-up form if one is available.
Note: if you visit another club, you may be fined for not wearing your pin. It’s a good idea to have it on just-in-case (because though our club doesn’t fine for not wearing it, we are technically supposed to wear our pins to every meeting). Also, be ready to sing: it is the rare club that doesn’t sing! (We are proud of being an exception to that tradition.)Another option is to participate in an interactive activity on the Rotary e-club Web site.
If 5 Rotarians gather at any time for a planned or club-related event, including service, it counts as a make-up meeting. Fill out the form above and give to Keith Palmgren (Secretary) as soon as possible thereafter. (Note – many of us are active throughout the community in a variety of ways. When 5 or more Rotarians happen to find themselves at a non-Rotary-related community or social activity, it cannot count as a make-up meeting. Similarly, if 5 or more Rotarians decide to head out after work for an “adult recreational beverage,” it does not count as a make-up meeting. Make-up meetings should be in the spirit of Rotary.)
NOTE: Members must provide documentation of all meeting make-ups to Keith Palmgren, Secretary. Members can only receive credit for make-up meetings during the current month. (So if you attended a make up meeting the first week of July for a meeting you missed the last week of June, you wouldn’t receive credit for it in June; you would receive credit for it towards any missed meetings in July only. That is to say, all paperwork is closed out on the last day of each month and cannot be revisited. )
