Introducing
"Rotary Club of Cheyenne Virtual Banner Exchange"
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 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 pictures, slogans or designs which portray the territorial area of the club.
The board was also mindful of the financial burden such exchanges may impose upon some clubs, especially in popular areas where many visitors make up and request to exchange. In all instances, clubs are cautioned to exercise discretion and moderation in the exchange of banners in order that the financial obligations do not interfere with the basic service activities of the club.
With this in mind, we offer what we like to call the "Rotary Club of Cheyenne Virtual Banner Exchange". If you visit our club online, we invite you to download our banner and post it on your club web site to show you have visited Rotary Club of Cheyenne, and have become one of our Online Rotary Friends. We would also appreciate a link back to our site located at http://www.cheyennerotary.org linked to he banner.
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. We hope you enjoy our banner and the history that is behind our club.
