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. The history of the Four Way Test as told by Rotarian Herbert Taylor is today's program.

Father's Day typically brings to mind the special men in our lives, but with today's genetic technology, the definition of father continues to expand. Today's program republishes a MSRE program 4 years ago presented by then MSRE President Diana Martinelli - with the addition of links to two recently published (2024) articles examining genetic modifications and the promises and questions already at play.

This MSRE program is one of a series of programs highlighting the global, national, regional, and local issue of food insecurity. The MSRE, for quite a few years, has funded small projects addressing this issue related to school children in selected West Virginia counties, and in support of Rotary District and Rotary Club service projects. Reports of these service projects will also be included in future programs.

When Rotary’s membership is strong, our clubs are more vibrant, Rotary is more visible, and our members have more resources to help communities flourish. To accomplish everything we want to do, we need our club, district, and zone leaders to commit to growing Rotary and Rotaract. That’s why growing our membership is our top internal organizational priority. This presentation will provide you with an overview of the current state of Rotary membership as of January 2022; and, it will provide ideas for reaching the goals of the RI and MSRE Membership Action Plan (under development), which will include: increasing our impact; expanding our reach; enhancing participant engagement; and, increasing our ability to adapt.

Member Lisa Gum, a speech pathologist working with elementary students in the North Carolina school system, leads us into thoughts about Black history. February is Black History Month and traditionally honors and celebrates extraordinary accomplishments by many African Americans throughout American history. But, what happens, Lisa questions, when we talk about the darker side of Black history? It is imperative to not only appreciate the accomplishment of Black Americans during February but also acknowledge the fact that African American citizens have had to overcome immeasurable odds from the very beginning. What happens when we begin to have uncomfortable conversations about race?

"Honesty and integrity are virtues worth working towards." George WashingtonWhat are the qualities of leadership that can help to make an impact on individual lives and the communities we live in? The last year plus we have seen our lives change dramatically through the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now as we begin to return to life we led prior to this event, how to adjust to the shared experiences from this time period? What do we no longer take for granted? How do we want to live our lives? Are we more willing to take an active part in shaping our communities through more active participation?

Rotary Clubs around the world work with their Districts and Rotary International to build leadership skills in interested youth through the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program. RYLA is an intensive leadership experience where young people can develop leadership skills while having fun and making connections with other like-minded youth within their region. There are other leadership building organizations as well, and our program today focuses upon OH-WV YLA, the Ohio-West Virginia Youth Leadership Association and the local YLA Leadership Summit at Camp Horseshoe in Tucker County, West Virginia.

This meeting program encourages every Rotarian to use our concerns about coronavirus and relate them to Rotary’s March theme: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month. Washing hands and good hygiene practices have not been thrust into the American public square to this degree in memory. Let’s use that in considering afresh what these issues and needs mean to the people in less developed nations and remember that not everyone else has it as good as we do, and they still need our help.

Our Rotary club’s focus on education and child/family health allows us to become involved in support programs that help local children and families, while supporting Rotary International's work around the world as well. A first step could be to provide links to resources for families who may be experiencing challenges and don't know where to turn. Often, simply knowing there is support available can take an enormous weight off the shoulders of worried parents and families.

When people get under our skin, it could be because we recognize an unpleasant truth in their remarks. Guest presenter Linda Arnold (of Linda Arnold Life 101) discusses how self-reflection and mindset can help us grow to thank people who "push our buttons."

In order to truly care for others, we should start by caring for ourselves. WVU Health Sciences Vice President Clay Marsh, MD, returned to his native state of West Virginia to make a difference in the health of its residents. In this program, drawn from our 2017 archives, he distills what he's learned into simple tips for a healthier you.

Although sports teams are often heralded for their talent and for the excitement they offer fans, many athletes quietly give back to their communities in ways far more meaningful. The Pittsburgh Pirates--and their farm teams--offer ample evidence of such contributions, dating back to a challenge by legend Roberto Clemente, who perished on New Year's Eve 1972 while working to serve others.

This is a program from our 2016 archives that's been updated with a more recent and very compelling video to help inspire Rotarians everywhere of how far we've come in battling polio and the vigilant work that remains to eradicate it. We hope it helps to inspire you because "we're THIS close" to defeating the disease.

This updated program comes from our archives and was initially posted about a year ago. As we plan for the upcoming year of service activities, consider where you might plant a tree in the coming year to bring benefits for decades to come, e.g. your own yard or a local park, school or community center....

While at the meeting, someone mentioned the Wheel that serves as our Rotary logo and it made me think about the true historical significance of our organization. Hope you enjoy this program!

Every Rotary Year, the District Governor makes it a top priority to visit (at least once) each of the 30+ Rotary Clubs in District 7530. This year, our District Governor Mike Kirkpatrick has authored the weekly program below to present his vision and priorities for the 2015-16 Rotary year. We believe this visit by our DG to be especially meaningful as not only the First MSRE Weekly program for 2016, but also the First Weekly program for our new Website! Please enjoy the first-ever District Governor's virtual visit to our club.

I wanted to take time this week to share a film my company recently completed for Glenville State College and their Hidden Promise Scholarship program. The film was submitted to the White House as part of a peer mentoring initiative sponsored by the First Lady. For me, the story told by students at GSC proved to be inspiring and reassuring that even with all the changes in the world, we still have much to be proud of in today’s young people and to the importance to taking time for others. I hope you enjoy the piece and please feel free to share with others.
