EXCHANGE OF CLUB BANNERS

One of the colorful traditions of many

Rotary clubs is the exchange of small

banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take

banners to exchange at "make up" meet-

ings as a token of friendship. Many clubs

use the decorative banners they have

received for attractive displays at club

meetings and district events. The Rotary

International board recognized the grow-

ing popularity of the banner exchange

back in 1959 and suggested that those

clubs which participate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their

banners in order that they be distinctive

and expressive of the community and

country of which the club is a part. It is

recommended that banners include pic-

tures, slogans or designs which portray

the territorial area of the club. The board

was also mindful of the financial burden

such exchange may impose upon some clubs, especially in popular areas where

many visitors make up and request to

exchange. In all instances, clubs are cau-

tioned to exercise discretion and modera-

tion in the exchange of banners in order

that the financial obligations do not inter-

fere with the basic service activities of the

club. Exchanging club banners is a very

pleasant custom, especially when a crea-

tive and artistic banner tells an interesting story of community pride. The exchange

of banners is a significant tradition of

Rotary and serves as tangible symbol of

our international fellowship.
