The Rotary Club of Salisbury is seeking nominations of individuals in the community who, in their everyday lives, are a living example of the Rotary Motto: Service Above Self.
The Four-Way Test Award is the club’s most prestigious award honoring exceptional community and volunteer service. This list of previous recipients shows the variety of persons who have been honored, including many well-known persons and those whose names may not be familiar to many in the community. Individuals to be considered by the nominating committee should exemplify the tenets of the Rotary Four-Way Test:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Nomination forms may be obtained by contacting Luanne Dashield at luglinowiecki@gmail.com and in the Download Section of the Rotary Club of Salisbury website, www.rotarysalisbury.org. A list of previous Four-Way Test Award recipients also may be found on the website. The nominations deadline is April 5, 2025. Past and present Rotarians in any club are not eligible.
The Rotary Four-Way Test was 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 Four-Way Test was credited with returning the company to a thriving status.
The Rotary Club of Salisbury always is seeking new members. We meet weekly on Thursday evenings beginning at 6:10 for fellowship, dinner, and a short program that ends the meeting by 7:30 p.m. Contact BJ Summers at bjsummers072481@gmail.com or 443-880-4296.
