What is Rotary?

Rotary is an International organization of business and professional persons united worldwide to enjoy fellowship, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build peace and goodwill in the world though over 1.2 million Rotarians in some 31,000 Rotary Clubs in 168 countries.

Rotary, founded by Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905, came to Regina in 1917 with the chartering of the Rotary Club of Regina. In 1959 that club sponsored the Rotary Club of Regina Eastview which in turn has since sponsored three other clubs in Regina; Regina North (now defunct), Regina Industrial Parks, and Regina South. A new Club has recently received “Provisional” Club status, an initial step toward being chartered, which will again bring the number to five clubs in Regina. Regina Eastview has about 70 members and there are about 300 Rotarians in Regina.

Rotary International is an association of Rotary clubs worldwide that is organized into Districts. Regina falls into District 5550 that covers most of Saskatchewan, all of Manitoba and part of Northwestern Ontario. There are 48 clubs in the District. Affairs of the District are directed by a District Governor who is elected from among the membership of the clubs in the District.

Each spring the District holds an annual conference at which education and district business is conducted and excellent fellowship is enjoyed. All Rotarians are urged to attend this important event. The Rotary Club of Regina Eastview has been very active in District affairs. Four of our present members have served as District Governor; Sam McKee in 1983-84, Glen Stinson in 1987-88, Peter Peters in 1999-2000, and Doug Mortin in 2005-06.

Rotary became an international organization with the chartering of the Rotary Club of Winnipeg in 1910. This event is celebrated each year on a weekend in late February when the Winnipeg Club hosts the Goodwill Meeting. The weekend begins with a fun curling bonspiel and entertainment on Friday. On Saturday there are luncheons with keynote speakers and, in the

evening, a banquet. Rotarians from across the District attend as well as large numbers of Rotarians from a number of Districts in the United States. Regina Eastview has historically been a very active participant in this event.

Each year Rotary holds an International Convention that is usually attended by some 40,000 Rotarians and partners from around the world. It has been the practice of Regina Eastview for many years to send its incoming President and partner to this convention. Other members are also encouraged to attend. In 2009, the International Convention will be held in Birmingham England in mid June.

Club Policies

Attendance

In accordance with Rotary International policy; members must maintain a minimum attendance of 50% of the

weekly meetings; members are required to be present for at least 50% of the

regular meeting time; out of courtesy, members who must leave a meeting early are to

advise the President; checking your name off on the attendance sheet at the

registration desk is the club’s record of your attendance.

Make-ups

This is the term applied to fulfilling attendance obligation when absent from a regular meeting of Eastview. The make-up activity must normally take place within 14 days, before or after, the date of the missed meeting and can be achieved by:

Attending a meeting of another Rotary club, including a Rotaract or Interact meeting;

Being present at the usual time and place of a regular meeting of another club to attend its meeting, but finding that the club is not meeting at that time;

Attendance at District Conference, District Assembly, Rotary International Conferences or Meetings, or functions/meetings called by the District Governor;

activity must be submitted to the club’s attendance keeper. In the case of group activities such as committee meetings, fundraising projects, etc., the organizer of each event is responsible for notifying the attendance keeper of the names of those to receive credit and the number of credits each is to receive.

A review of frequently asked questions on the subject of make-ups is printed at the end of this handbook.

When you’ve done a make-up, notify the membership committee by: asking for a make-up card at the club you visit and turning it in

at the registration desk at our club, or email the make-up information to the person on the membership

committee in charge of attendance.

Online Make-Ups

Doing a make-up online through a chartered e-club is a relatively new option, having been accepted at the fall 2004 meeting of the RI Council on Legislation. While the activity for the make-up is online and is available 24/7, the general rules governing make-ups still apply and the make-up activity must normally take place within 14 days, before or after, the date of the missed meeting. In addition, the online make-up must involve at least 30 minutes of interactive activity. You will find available e-clubs through a simple web search or through the RI website.

Club Participation

Members are expected to assist whenever possible in fundraising or “hands-on” projects, but are not expected to participate in projects that are contrary to their conscience or beliefs.


Members should make every effort to attend the club’s social and fellowship activities.

All members are assigned to a committee, preferably one matching their interest and choice. Participation in the meetings and activities of the committee is expected. A complete committee list is available online at www.eastviewrotary.org.

Exchange Students

Information on Exchange Program

Members of the Rotary Club of Regina Eastview have been strong supporters of the Youth Exchange Program for many years.

The Rotary Youth Exchange Program began in 1929 and involved only European Rotary clubs. In 1972, the program became an official program of Rotary International. It has grown to include over 58 countries and more than 8,000 students each year.

Two main exchange programs exist. Short Term Exchange – duration 4 to 6 weeks Long Term Exchange – duration 12 months

For specific detail on both exchanges, please visit our website.

Responsibilities

Our club bulletin, the Rotor, publishes the names of members who have responsibility, on a rotating basis, to contact the Long Term Exchange student prior to Wednesday of their week and make arrangements to pick the student up, take him/her to our Thursday meeting and then return him/her to school.

If unable to do so it is your responsibility to find a replacement and notify the student accordingly.

Regina Eastview Rotary Members are also encouraged to do some activity with the student

during their week. It provides a great opportunity to get to know the student and make them feel welcome. Students always appreciate your contact and involvement.

Rotary International

Structure

Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In 168 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 Rotary clubs.

Rotary International maintains its world headquarters at One Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, Illinois, USA. Each year a new President of RI leads the organization and establishes a theme for his/her term. This year’s President is Dong Kurn (D.K.) Lee of Korea and the theme for his year is “Make Dreams Real”.

Rotary became “International” in 1910 with the chartering of the Rotary Club of Winnipeg.

Clubs are grouped into 529 Rotary districts, each led by a district governor who is an officer of Rotary International and represents the RI board of directors in the field.

The Rotary Club of Regina Eastview was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Regina and chartered in 1959.

The Rotary Year begins July 1st and concludes June 30th. A new district governor represents the district each year.

Rotary International’s annual calendar identifies a theme for most months. It is hoped that the theme will assist Rotarians in focusing on the work of Rotary.

International Inner Wheel, established in 1924, is an association of Inner Wheel clubs much as Rotary International is an association of Rotary Clubs. It is a service club whose members are the spouses or immediate relatives of Rotarians. It is the second largest women’s club in the world, second only to the YWCA. There are over 100,000 members in about 3,800 clubs in 150 Districts in over 90 countries. Inner Wheel clubs have the following aims:

To promote true friendship

To encourage the ideals of personal service

To foster international understanding

Inner Wheel District #555 has the same boundaries as Rotary District #5550. Within this District there are nine Inner Wheel Clubs (Brandon, Flin Flon, Moose Jaw, Neepawa, Regina Eastview, St. Boniface, Transcona, Weyburn, Winnipeg).

The Regina Eastview Innerwheel Club, formed in 1984, has approximately 20 members and is very active both in the District and at International levels. The Club meets regularly. It supports such worthwhile causes as the Food Bank, Transition House, Sophia House, Salvation Army and an orphanage in Peru. The club was very pleased to learn in early 1998 that one of its members, Lillian Pettigrew, was elected to the post of International Inner Wheel President for the year 1999-2000, the first North American to have held that office. She proved to be a very active President and had a significant impact on the organization.
