The 4-WAY TEST of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The 4-Way Test is important to Rotarians as it provides a good guide to behaviour.
Each year, in August, a speaking competition is held at the Club level with school students participating in a prepared speech format using each of the 4 Way-Test characteristics. A semi-final is conducted in September and a Final is held at the annual District Conference in October with finalists coming from across the District clubs.
The Nowra and South Nowra Rotary clubs are two of the 48 Rotary clubs that form Rotary District 9710, that covers the southeast part of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The District Governor for 2010-2011 is Bill Seelis and he follows the District Governor for 2009-2010, Michael Pedler. More details can be found on the D9710 website
