ATTENDANCE

To Attend

Latin attendere,

literally, to stretch to

to be present

as a companion or in a meeting

We naturally tend to note who is present and who is not present whenever we attend a meeting or service. 

“Your regular attendance is fine print,

Your absence is headlines.”

“Your absence as well as your presence leaves an impression.”
