state of Ohio give me credit for the amount I just paid?

be applied. Your new Rotary Plate will be mailed to you within 5-7

a Rotary plate?

discontinue the issuance of Rotary plates. Is that true? And if so,
will I loose my current Rotary plate?
A. Rotarians in Ohio must annually purchase a minimum of (500)
plates or it may be discontinued. If the plate were to be
discontinued, there are provisions in State Law (a petition

re-establishment effort fail, those with Rotary plates would be able
to continue their use until the current plate is unusable or the
main Ohio State Plate design becomes obsolete.
