response to comments from our members, the Board of Directors, at our most

policy allows clubs and districts to hold gun raffles and sponsor gun

policy also provides guidance on the depiction of weapons with the Rotary
Marks. Specifically, the Rotary Marks may not be shown in combination long
with images of guns or other weapons. It would not prohibit the incidental
appearance of a gun or weapon, for example, in a photo of a police officer
being honored at a club function.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>
