Visitor Help page
If you are a first time visitor to a Rotary International eClub, you might be interested to know that Article 8, Section 1, Number 7 of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution defines specific requirements for online make-ups. "If, within fourteen (14) days before or after the regular time" of a Club meeting you are seeking to make-up, you "participate through a club website in an interactive activity requiring an average of 30 minutes of participation" a make-up will be granted.
We ask that you utilize our site for at least a half hour to stay within the rule and the Four Way test of Truth.
Creating an account is not necessary to visit a meeting. If you prefer to visit a meeting without creating an account, simply go to the meeting page now and you will see a link that allows you to visit the available meetings without creating an account.
Why should I create an account?
If you should visit us in the future, you can simply login and visit a meeting without providing name and secretary's email. Also, if you verify your account, you can interact with other Rotarians in the forum and even create a simple 'Rotary' webpage to send others to as an introduction. We encourage you to complete your profile, use the galleries, and share Rotary fellowship with us!
Be sure to enter a correct email address when signing up for your makeup. The simple process to attend a meeting will create a unique account. Next time you visit us for a makeup, you can simply login and visit a meeting. If you would care to verify your account, you may also customize your page and engage in forum conversation.
If you would like to attend a meeting, but prefer not to make an account, then click here.
How will my Club Secretary know of my makeup at eClub?
The first time you attend a meeting, you must enter a valid email for yourself, and hopefully you have your club secretary's email as well. If not, you can enter it at a future makeup date if you decide to visit up again. When you have completed a meeting, both you and your secretary (assuming you have entered the email addresses correctly) will receive notification of the makeup.
How to do a makeup:
- Go to the "Meetings" tab
- Returning visitors can login and skip to step 6, or new visitors complete the required fields in the registration form, and the security check.
- The form field "Club Secretary Email" is NOT required to attend a meeting but it will simplify your credit for a makeup.
- Putting in a State/Province is NOT required if you are from a country other than the USA or Canada.
- Make a simple screen name and password. Remember these so the next time you join us, you can simply login, complete the meeting, and you (and hopefully your Club Secretary) will get a date and time stamped notification of your makeup.
- Once you have completed this simple process, click on 'meeting' in the top menu bar and select the meeting of your choice. The default is the current week's meeting.
How much does it cost to attend your club meeting?
There is no charge to attend eClub for a makeup, but like other clubs, donations from our visitors are a source of funding for our club projects. If you are so inclined, we welcome you to make a donation via check or paypal. You will find a donation box on the left side of most pages and explicitly at the end of the meeting. Thanks in advance for your support.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or wish to report a bug in this process, please email info@recswusa.org.
Thank you and we hope you enjoy our Club!
