Many Rotarians who are busy would love to login to electronically and attent to clubs meeting. In Rotary we do have the option to attend to other club's meeting and make up for the attendence in own club.

Our incoming president Rtn.Damodharan had forwarded the relevant details. Hope some of our members would find it useful.

"ROTARY eCLUB ONE" MEMBERSHIP:

The purpose of Rotary eClub One of District 5450 is to extend Rotary to business, professional and community leaders in any Rotary District who are unable to meet traditional attendance requirements.

Inability to attend a traditional Rotary club could be the result of demanding business or professional commitments, extensive travel, confinement due to ill health or disability, or residence beyond reasonable distance from an existing Rotary club.

To be a member of the Rotary eClub One means...

	You live or do business in ANY Rotary District in any country of the Rotary world.
	Your current circumstances are such that it is not possible to meet attendance requirements of a traditional Rotary club, which is typically a weekly meeting in a specific location.

The club Constitution requires that currently active Rotarians applying for membership provide an endorsement from their current Rotary club President together with letters of reference from two currently active Rotarian colleagues. Active Rotarians must notify their current District Governor of their intention to join Rotary eClub One. Applicants who are former Rotarians must provide a letter of reference from a current or past President of their former Rotary club and letters of reference from two currently active Rotarians. Applicants new to Rotary must provide four endorsements, at least two of which are from currently active Rotarians.

After paying dues for the first quarter, a new member is granted a three-month trial period. If during this period the new member determines that Rotary eClub One does not meet expectation the person may withdraw without any further financial obligation.

Amounts donated to The Rotary Foundation will remain as credited to the person's RI account.
