Rotaract Community Service Policy:
All Rotaract Club of Springfield members are required to attend at least one Boys and Girls Town volunteer event per year. If a member cannot attend a regularly scheduled Boys and Girls Town event, then they must contact the Rotaract Community Service Chair to schedule their own time to volunteer, and are responsible for notifying the Rotaract Secretary upon completion of the community service. If a member does not attend a Boys and Girls Town volunteer event, their membership in the club will not be renewed.
All Rotaract members are required, in addition to the above-mentioned policy, to volunteer one other time per year for a second Boys and Girls Town volunteer event or other Rotaract sponsored volunteer opportunity. If a member does not attend a second Boys and Girls Town volunteer event or another Rotaract sponsored volunteer opportunity, they are fined $50 to be paid by December 1 of the following membership year. The Board may vote to substitute other events or volunteer opportunities to fulfill this requirement.
All returning members and new members joining between July 1 and December 31 will have to meet all requirements listed above. Members joining between January 1 and February 28 must attend one Boys and Girls Town event or other approved Rotaract volunteer opportunity, or will receive the $50 fine. Members joining on March 1 or after are not required to fulfill either requirement or pay a fine. Exceptions to this policy may be voted on and approved by a 2/3 vote of the Rotaract Club of Springfield Board.
