Reasons Bylaws

Leaves of absence will not generally be granted for any reason; however, in extraordinary circumstances, the Board shall have the power, in its discretion, to grant a leave of absence to a member. A limited medical leave of absence may be granted for a major illness upon written request to the Board. Each member shall continue to pay active dues. A member granted a leave of absence shall not be dismissed from the Club for failing to attend meetings during the period covered by the leave of absence. Unless the member attends a regular meeting of some other Club, the excused member must be recorded as absent except that absence authorized under the provisions of Article 8, seconds 3 and 4 of the standard Rotary Club constitution is not computed in the attendance record of the Club.
