THE FOUR WAY TEST

Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY

Is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service

2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business and community life.

Foundation minute: (taken from Rotarian magazine) A great example of Rotarians working together is a joint program organized by clubs in Korea and Taiwan for an inoculation day in North East New Delhi. In total, 764 clubs participated and inoculated 595,874 children in one day and a total of 70 million in a week of work in India. Pretty impressive numbers!

Happy Bucks:

• Joe L: for an upcoming trip to Florida and for his daughter's great grades, although she was upset about getting an A- in one class!
• Norm: for the great work of the scholarship committee and for Mother's Day
• Cate: for the scholarship committee and how well prepared the members were

Fines:
