THE FOUR WAY TEST
Of the things we say and do:
1. Is it the truth
2. is it fair to all concerned
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned

OBJECT of ROTARY
First formulated in 1910 and adapted throughout the years as Rotary’s mission expanded. It provides a succinct definition of the organization’s purpose as well as the individual club member’s responsibilities.
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:

• FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
• SECOND. 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;
• THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
• FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
