Four-Way Test

At the beginning of each meeting we remind ourselves of the The Four-Way Test.  Therefore, please remember to ask yourself always . . .

Of the things we think, say or 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?
 

A Reflective Moment

Program:  Critical thinking and the political season

 
As we enter the homestretch of this election season remaining a good citizen, good sport and quality leader is important. The current political climate certainly has not made this easy.  Social media has made it even worse. Let’s face it, more than a few of us have had that Facebook moment where you think an old friend may have just lost their mind. As the political rhetoric and discourse grows, we need to remain true to our core values. Leadership comes with a steady hand, of strength and integrity. The Rotarian four-way test is a prime example of such values.
 
 I came across an article that spoke to me as it pertains to everything going on around me as the election nears. So regardless of your political viewpoint, stance or leanings, we are all in this together. I hope you enjoy the article.
