Exchange of Club Banners
One of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make-up" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events.
The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs whih partiicpate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans or designs which protray the territorial area of the club.
The board was also mindful of the financial burden such exchanges may impose upon some clubs, especially in popular areas where many visitors make up and request to exchange. In all instances, clubs are cautioned to exercise discretion and moderation in the exchange of banners in order that the financial obligations do not interfere with the basic service activities of the club.
Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic anner tells an interesting story of community pride.
The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.

NON-ATTENDANCE RULES
The Rotary Club Constitution specifies three conditions under which a Rotarian's membership will automatically be terminated for non-attendance.
These circumstances are (a) failure to attend or make up four consecutive club meetings (b) failure to attend at least 30 per cent of the meetings of one's own club in each six-month period and (c) failure to attend or make up 50 per cent of club meetings each six months.
Under any of these three cases, a member will lose Rotary membership unless the club board of directors has previously consented to excuse such failure for good and sufficient reason.
To some individuals, these rules may seem unusually rigid. However, being present at club meetings is one of the basic obligations a member accepts upon joining a Rotary club. The constitution rules merely emphasize that Rotary is a participatory organization which highlly values regular attendance.
When a member is absent, the entire club loses the personal association with that members. Being present at a club meeting is considered a vital part of the operation and success of every Rotary Club.
For any Rotarian to miss four consecutive meetings, or disregard the other attendance requirements. should be considered tantamount to the submission of one's resignation from the club.
When a club terminates a member for non-attendance, it is simply an acceptance of a resignation and not a punitive action by the club officers. All Rotarians know the consequences of non-attendance, so it clearly becomes a conscious decision by a Rotarian to withdraw from the club when he fails to fulfill the attendance requirements.
