Important Information for the Club
Suggestion from Diane Probst
  • ACCESS Counseling needs PPE. The  mental health of our community is really needed.
  • Does anyone know of a source where we could purchase the PPE?
  • Any some other thoughts and suggestions?

The Rotary Four-Way Test

Of the Things We Think, Say or Do:

With a South Texas addition

  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?
  5. Will it be fun?
Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.
