The Rotary Balita no. 737 (January 14, 1954).

Some members attend regularly because they are interested in Rotary. Some members attend because they are interested in some particular program. Some members attend because they have got to eat lunch somewhere. The first phase of Rotary stresses attendance as a means of acquaintance and an avenue for friendship and fellowship. Attendance for the sake of 100% is not a true measure of Rotary interest. You are a member of a club because of your classification. You hold that classification only so long as you maintain an apparent interest in the club by attending 60% or more of 40% ay scenes from the total number of meetings in any half year but, if you take these absences merely because you are allowed to, our Rotary program must be too weak to keep you interested. Your business succeeds or fails because of many factors and one of these factors is your interest in your ty much the same. -TABASCO, Richmond, Va.
