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. |
|
Of the things we think, say or do we should ask ourselves: |

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

This test was adopted in 1943 as a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships |
