Did you know that Rotary International is a service organization intended to bring together business and professional leaders through more than 34,000 local clubs around the world, for the purpose of providing humanitarian services, encouraging high ethical standards, and helping to build peace and goodwill in the world?  I am pleased to say that I am one of the newest members of the Alameda Rotary Club, having been officially inducted into the Club two weeks ago.  I particularly like Rotary’s 4-Way Test to see if a planned action is aligned with the Rotary spirit:

1. It is 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?

Words to live by . . .
