 Featured Item - Voting on Trustee Positions on the 27th 

We did not meet the required quorum on the 13th so it's extremely important for you to attend on the 27th. According to Article III, Section 4b of the Bylaws of Rotary Charities and Rotary Camps & Services of Traverse City the vote requires half of the Rotary Club membership to be in attendance to establish a quorum. 

Our average attendance at meetings is only 60 members and we need at least 100 to fulfill the quorum. 

Please reach out to your fellow Rotarians and encourage them to attend or sign in to the meeting on the 27th - even if they can only attend for the first portion of each. We need you!
