Now You Can Make Up Your Missed Meetings Online

Beginning 12 July, the Rotary Club of Sydney exclusively will accept meeting make-ups online at SydneyRotary.com. This trial initiative utilises best practices for modern information and communications technologies, and it aims to facilitate a higher level of member engagement and promote membership among new and younger audiences.

Online make-ups will require at least 30 minutes of activity on our new website, including contributing to discussion boards, reading articles about club activities or otherwise browsing. No more than two online make-up sessions will be permitted per month, and a mandatory $10 payment to the Club for each will be required.

In line with President Ned Boyce’s charge to reposition our Club as the premier Rotary Club in New South Wales, we will no doubt attract the interest and attention of Rotary International by unveiling this advance feature for participation and interaction. We are one of only a few Rotary Clubs in the world to pilot this type of facility, and we hope that Sydney Rotarians will take advantage of it in pursuit of your meeting attendance goals.
