The Object of Rotary

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;

I.  The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

II.  High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

III.  The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian's personal, business and community life;

IV.  The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST of the things we think say or do

first
     
Is it the TRUTH?
second
     
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
third
      Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
fourth
     
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
