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 meetings 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 growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and encouraged participating clubs to ensure that the design of their banners is distinctive and expressive of the club’s community and country. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans, or designs portraying the territorial area of the club.
Exchanging club banners is a very
pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an
interesting story of community pride. The exchange of banners is a significant
tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international
fellowship.
