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 by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

Third: The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his 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.

I charge you to judge yourself by the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things you think, say or do:

First Is it the Truth?

Second Is it fair to all concerned?

Third Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

Fourth Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Our guest speaker tonight was a video sent by snail mail to us by Rotarians in Scotland. You may remember a group of Rotarian Curlers from Scotland visited us and toured Eastern and Southwestern Ontario. They were a blast and created this video.
