Announcements
Rotary's theme for January is
Vocational Service
The Object of Rotary is a philosophical statement of Rotary’s purpose and the responsibilities of Rotarians. The concept of vocational service is rooted in the second object, which calls on Rotarians to encourage and foster:
• High ethical standards in business and professions
• The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations
• The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society
As a Rotarian, how can you put these ideals into action? Consider these suggestions:
• Talk about your profession in your club, and take time to learn about fellow members’ occupations
• Use your skills and expertise to serve a community
• Practice your profession with integrity, and inspire others to behave ethically through your words and actions
• Help young people achieve their career goals
• Guide and encourage others in their professional development
Material Suggestions and Greeter Messages Always Needed!
Please feel free to forward an approx. 150 - 200 word message or any material suggestions in an e-mail, or in a Word document, along with a JPeg picture or two, to E-Club Administration Chair, Kitty Bucsko.
We'd love to hear from you!

Rotary minute combined this week -
The Four-Way Test as a Moral Compass
By Kadam Bhambari
During a meeting of the Rotary Club of Chandigarh Midtown in Chandigarh, India, I encountered a little gem that has reshaped my perspective on ethics, decision-making, and being a better person. This secret code to navigating life’s moral maze was none other than The Four-Way Test.
Then comes, “Is it FAIR to all concerned?” Ah, fairness, the pillar of justice! This question pushes us to consider the impact of our decisions on everyone involved. I remember a situation at work where I had to assign tasks. Asking myself this question made me reconsider and reshuffle the workload to ensure fairness among my team.
Next up, “Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?” Now, this one’s a heart-warmer! It nudges us to think about fostering positive relationships and creating goodwill in our actions. I recall a time when a simple act of kindness — helping a neighbor with groceries — resulted in a lasting friendship.
And finally, “Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” This question challenges us to assess the long-term consequences of our actions, making us mindful of creating genuine, lasting benefits for everyone involved.
The beauty of The Four-Way Test lies in its adaptability. It’s not about blindly following rules but about using these questions as a moral framework, a roadmap for making decisions that positively impact our communities and the world at large.
You don’t need to be a Rotarian to embrace this philosophy. Imagine if everyone integrated these questions into our daily lives! That’s why I’m throwing out the challenge — let’s try it for a week. Before making a decision, big or small, run it through The Four-Way Test.
Rotary’s commitment to these principles has fueled incredible projects worldwide, from eradicating polio to empowering communities through education and sustainable development. It’s a shining example of the incredible influence of prioritizing ethical decision-making and selfless service.
Let’s take a cue from Rotary and allow these questions to guide our actions. Let’s start a ripple effect of ethical decision-making that transforms our lives and the world around us. Remember, it all starts with asking the right questions.
Kadam is the spouse of Jeeten Bhambari, president of the Rotary Club of Chandigarh Midtown, India.
