The ROTARY MOTTO ...evolved over the years Today’s Motto was adopted in 1989

“Service Above Self”

The ROTARY CLUB OF SUMMIT COUNTY ‘S MOTTO

Making Good Things Happen!

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY, first formulated in 1910, provides the organization’s purpose and members’ responsibilities. ★ Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster:

★The ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise ★ High ethical standards in business and professions ★The application of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business

and community life.

★The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and

peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

THE 4 WAY TEST:

To address High Ethical Standards and Integrity one of the worlds most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics THE 4-WAY TEST .....created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president)

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? OF ALL THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY, AND DO IN OUR BUSINESS, COMMUNITY AND PERSONAL LIVES:

.....then our family, business, community and world will be a better place!

The world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, Formed on February 23, 1905 by Paul Harris, an attorney. He wished to recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. The name "Rotary" derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices.

Rotarians are people who . . . . . . .

Dig a well from which they will never drink; Vaccinate children they will never meet; Restore eyesight for those they will never see; Build housing they will never live in; Educate children they will never know; Plant trees they will never sit under; Feed hungry people regardless of race or politics; Make crawlers into walkers halfway around the world; And right here in your own community, ROTARIANS Give Dictionaries to children that will be the first book they ever had of their very own Buy books and read to children, yes, right here in your own community Provide meals for those who are hungry Rotarians experience real happiness which, as Albert Schweitzer once said, “Can only be found by helping others”.
