The Rotary Club of Salisbury is seeking nominations for the 4-Way Test Award, which is the Club’s most prestigious award honoring exceptional community and volunteer service.
Individuals to be considered should exemplify Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self. The tenets of the Rotary 4-Way Test are:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR?
Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The deadline for nominations is April 1st. A ceremony to name the award recipient will be held on the evening of April 23rd. Last year’s award recipient, Vernon Rivers, will be the evening’s keynote speaker.

The Rotary 4-Way Test was first conceived in 1932 at the height of the Great Depression by a Chicago businessman who was faced with the challenge of saving a major company from bankruptcy. Looking for a way to keep his business solvent, he sought a short yardstick of ethics to every aspect of business. As a result, a climate of trust and goodwill developed among dealers, customers, and employees, and the 4-Way Test was credited with returning the company to a thriving status.
For nomination forms or to have additional questions, answered, please contact 4-Way Test Chairperson, Gary Mackes, at 410-749-3377 or garymackes@gmail.com.
