the four way test  ​

From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the worlds most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is the Four Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Herbert J. Taylor who later serves as Rotary International President when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24 word code of ethics for employers and employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, the 4-Way Test has been translated into more that one hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks:

​

                                    Of the things we think, say or do - 

                                    i. Is it the truth?

                                    ii. Is it fair to all concerned?

                                    iii. Will it build good will and better

                                    friendships?

                                    iv. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Our motto and our five avenues of service ​

“Service Above Self” embodies our humanitarian spirit. Rotary’s Avenues of Service guide our activities:


1. Through Club Service, we have fun, build lasting friendships, and make sure that our club runs well. 


2. Through Vocational Service, we volunteer our professional skills to serve others and promote integrity in everything we do. 

​

3. Through Community Service, we address local needs and work with our community to bring lasting improvements.


4. Through International Service, we meet humanitarian needs around the globe and promote world understanding and peace.
