BLUE BADGE REQUIREMENTS

NAME:

The following steps make up the orientation process and will allow you to “graduate” from the Red Badge of a new member to the Blue Badge of a full member of the club.

Work the Welcome Desk: 4 weeks. Includes serving as a “Greeter”. A great way to meet your fellow Rotarians! Contact the Welcome Desk Chair (Dick Anderson) to schedule your times.

_____ Collect 30 Business Cards – As you work as a greeter or during Club meetings, we’d like you to collect 30 Business Cards from members as a way of getting t knoew them and what they do.

Classification Talk: You are asked to give an informal 3-minute talk at a regular Tuesday meeting about yourself (business and personal) so the rest of the members can get to know you. Schedule directly with the President. Don’t put this off until later…do it now!

Active Involvement on a Committee: This requires a very important personal decision. Learn about the many opportunities in the Avenues of Service and investigate your options carefully.

Attendance at either a District 5030 or our own Club’s New Member Orientation Meeting: …..but preferably both as they provide a good overview of Rotary activities, priorities, and opportunities for involvement. The schedules for these meetings will be announced or can be found at the District web site at www.rotary5030.org.

Attendance at a Board Meeting: Held monthly. See President or any Board member for current meeting times and locations.

_____ Bring a guest to a regular meeting: We want to expand our membership to people who are dedicated to our club mission and Rotary ideals. You may invite a prospective member for one complimentary breakfast. See “Membership Guidelines” for additional information.

_____ Attend a “make-up” meeting with your Sponsor at another Rotary Club

See www.rotary5030.org. for a list of times and locations of local Rotary Club meetings.

You are encouraged to use any member of Emerald City Rotary Club to become more informed and involved. When you have completed all requirements please report to:

Thom Murray 206-674-4133 that you are ready for your Blue Badge!

Thank you!
