Here are General Principles from Rotary International regarding Meetings and Events:
The health and safety of all participants in Rotary programs, meetings, and events is very important.
All organizers of Rotary meetings and events shall fully comply with all health and safety rules in effect in that location.
No in-person Rotary meeting or event shall be mandatory for any participant who may feel uncomfortable attending because of the pandemic.
All organizers of Rotary meetings and events are strongly encouraged to consider all health concerns in deciding whether to hold in-person meetings.
Event and meeting organizers are encouraged to offer hybrid solutions.
Members should feel comfortable to wear masks and social distance while attending in-person meetings or events. Some might prefer not to hug or shake hands.
Further, it is a recommendation, not a requirement, that Rotarians do not attend meetings and events in-person if not vaccinated.
