Focus
on Fundraising
After
reviewing the budget at August’s Club Assembly, the consensus is clear –
we need to refocus on our fund-raising activities to ensure that we can
accomplish all of the exciting service project ideas club members have.
With
the decision to put off the Restaurant Guide for at least one year, it is clear
that we as a club need to explore ideas for successfully raising more funds to
support all of our grand ideas.
The real question is whether we should focus more energy into increasing
the potential of Winterfest or develop a second fund-raiser to supplement our
coffers.
One
suggestion was to designate the Club Assembly meeting to focus on growth and
financial issues for the near future.
Special
thanks to Treasurer Toni Feldman for all of her hard work in preparing the
budget and providing such a clear presentation.
The
4-Way Test
From the earliest
days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical
standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed
and quoted statements of business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created
in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor when he was asked to take charge of a
company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for employees to follow
in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales,
production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the
survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Herbert Taylor
became President of Rotary International and the 4-Way Test was adopted by
Rotary in 1943. The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a
hundred languages and published in thousands of ways, in communities, schools,
workplaces and in homes. It asks the following four questions:
“Of the things we think, say or
do:
1.
Is
it the TRUTH?
2.
Is
it FAIR to
all concerned?
3.
Will
it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4.
Will
it be BENEFICIAL
to all concerned?”
