The Official Call
for the
THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION
of
the
National Association of Rotary Clubs of America
Duluth, Minnesota, August 6th,
7th, 8th, 9th, 1912
The Third Annual Convention of this Association will convene at
Duluth, Minnesota, on Tuesday, August 6th, 1912, for the purpose
of receiving and acting upon reports of its officers and
committees, for the election of officers and directors and for
the transaction of such other business as may be brought before
the convention.
Article VI of the Constitution and By-Laws of this Association
provides for "REPRESENTATION IN CONVENTION" as follows:
Section 1. Each affiliating Rotary Club shall be entitled in the
Annual Convention to one delegate for each fifty (50) of its
members or major fraction thereof, provided that each Club shall
be entitled to at least one delegate in said Convention.
Sec. 2. Each delegate at the Annual Convention shall be entitled
to cast one vote on all questions submitted to the Convention.
Sec. 3. Every delegate shall be a member of the affiliating
Rotary Club he represents.
Sec. 4. Any delegate present may be designated by the
affiliating Rotary Club as an alternate for one or more
delegates from such affiliating Rotary Club not present, and,
when so designated by proper authority, shall, in addition to
his own vote, be entitled to vote as such alternate for the
non‑attending delegate or delegates he represents.
The Constitution provides that each Club shall elect a general
Committeeman (the general Committeemen elect the National Board
of Directors), but nothing is said therein as to how the
delegates, shall be chosen. Each Club, therefore, can by
resolution (if provision is not already made in that Club's
By‑Laws) prescribe the manner in which its delegates shall be
selected‑by election of the Club, by election of the Board of
Directors, by appointment of the President, or otherwise.
Every Club is urged to send to the Convention not only its
Constitutional delegates, but also a large delegation of
visitors. All visiting Rotarians (even the not voting delegates)
will be very welcome at the Convention, and they will find much
to interest and benefit them.
This call is issued by direction of and for the BOARD OF
DIRECTORS,
PAUL P. HARRIS, President.
Attest: CHESLEY R. PERRY, Secretary.
