Unlike other Rotary
clubs, our eClub has
the freedom to offer
24-hour opportunities
to both members of
the club and visiting
Rotarians. Since the
Internet never sleeps,
we’re open all the
time!
www.recswusa.org
Our eClub maintains a
100% attendance rate.
Members attend
weekly meetings online
and can do so at any
hour during the week.

We also provide a
valuable service to
Rotary members
outside our club who
would like to attend a
makeup meeting.

opportunities the Rotary
provides. We’ve managed to
have both on and offline
opportunities.

Our online forums offer
additional opportunities to
communicate and fraternize –
free from the constraints of
time differences and schedule
issues. There are areas open
to visitors and an eClub
“members-only” area as well.

Topics of discussion include
eClub business, member
introductions, fun “getting
to know you” quizzes and
general topic discussions
on social (and other)
issues.
