Rotary club members are part of a
diverse group of professional leaders working to address various
community and international service needs. Through community service
and other means, Rotary club members help promote peace and
understanding throughout the world. Our members are our most
important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to carry out
its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its mission. Why

From the earliest days of the
organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical
standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely
printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test,
which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later
served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company
that was facing bankruptcy.
This 24-word test for 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 Four-Way Test has been translated into
more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It
asks the following four questions:
"Of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
