Object of Rotary

The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the idea 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 dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to service society;

Third. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarians 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.

The 4-Way Test

----------------------------------------------------

Of the things we think, say or do

1)   Is it the truth?

2)   Is it fair for all concerned?

3)   Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

4)   Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
