"One of the special obligations of membership in Rotary is regular attendance at the weekly meeting; it is the basic method of fulfilling the principle of fellowship as well as a way of representing your vocation".
No member is expected actually be in attendance every week but there are numerous ways of completing a make-up such as attending the meeting of another Rotary club, attending a Board meeting or Friday morning coffee, participating in a club sponsored service project or social event or completing an on-line make-up. During the 2018-2019 Rotary year, the member of the Rotary Club of Ankeny completed 553 make-ups. This enabled twenty-six members to be recognized during the annual meeting for achieving perfect attendance during the past year. They were:
1-Year - Todd Eipperle & Stacey Koeppen
