Our Values. The 4 Way Test
Rotarians around the world are guided by the Four-Way Test, a non-partisan and non-sectarian ethical guide. We recite it at every club meeting:

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