Attendance
Rotary Clubs meet every week, with the exception of national holidays that fall on the regular meeting day. Rotary considers attendance an essential part of being a member. If a member is unable to attend a club meeting, there is ample opportunity to “make-up” at another club. Most clubs require that a member attend at least 60% of the meetings in each six-month period and that at least one-half of that attendance must be at the home club.
The Rotary Club of Santa Cruz meets on Fridays at 12:10 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Elks Lodge (150 Jewel Street). Click here for the schedule and information on upcoming programs.
