Rotary Wins Prestigiou Silver Telly Award

Story from RI International

A produced by Rotary's broadcast media department that features Rotary member Marion Bunch and her work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in underprivileged African communities won two 2015 .

The Telly Awards honors the very best film & video productions, groundbreaking online video content, and outstanding local, regional, & cable tv commercials and programs.

The prestigious awards are given annually.  Rotary's documentary, "Rotary Family Health Days" received a Silver Telly, the highest honor, in the online video-documentary category, and a Bronze Telly in the online video-branded content and entertainment category. The documentary was shown by the South African Broadcasting Corporation and throughout Africa.

"What we tried to accomplish with the film was to get the good news and the good deeds out there so that the non-Rotary world can see it," says producer Andrew Chudzinski. "It was a great collaborative project."

The film documents the tremendous burden HIV/AIDS places on African families and communities. It covers the journeys of two women: South African grandmother Me Maria, who is raising her two grandsons whose parents died of AIDS, and Bunch, from Atlanta, Georgia, USA, who became a global advocate for AIDS prevention and the inspiration for after she lost her son to the disease.

Attendance 101
There are times when all of us cannot attend a club meeting.  Since a requirement of membership is to maintain a minimum attendance at 50 percent of scheduled meetings, maintaining this standard can be a problem when other commitments such as work meetings, travel or illness cause you to miss meetings.  Fortunately, Rotary International's rules allow for many ways for you to make up attendance. Since there are e-clubs, you can even attend a "virtual" meeting to do a makeup.
 
Attendance Rules
 
1.  For a makeup meeting to be recorded, the makeup has to be done within 2 weeks before or after the missed meeting.
2. If you visit another club, you will have the meal charge at missed meeting at our club credited back to your account.
3. When you attend another club or other activity, click this link to report your makeup to the club treasurer for meal cost credit and to the executive secretary to record it for attendance credit. 
 
Ways you can makeup a meeting.
 
1. Attend a meeting at another club in district 5340. To find when and where other clubs in our district meet, go to the District 5340 Find A Club page. Club meetings on this page are sorted by day of the week so that you can easily find a club to visit that will fit your schedule.
 
2. If you are traveling, visit a club that meets in that city on the day you are there. Because Rotary Club exist in locations around the world, you can visit a club anywhere for a makeup. It is always an interesting experience to visit a club in other locations around the world.  To find a club in any location around the world, go to Rotary International's Club Finder and enter the information on the form to get a list of club that meets your need.
 
3. Attend any of the following club functions if they satisfy the 2 week rule:
     a. A meeting of the club board of directors
