Greetings!
Tough times never last but tough people do! I remember reading a book by this title over two decades ago and I thought of it the other day as the headlines are blasting us with news that is less than positive. It made me think of the foundations that are unshakable in my life and one of them is Rotary. For over 100 years Rotarians have answered the call and helped make the world a better place. Through world wars to the Great Depression to the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, Rotary has stood tall and grown. I believe one of Rotary's strongest assets is what happens to all of us when we join a local club. We find ourselves surrounded by people who practice a new slogan unfamiliar to us newcomers: The Four-Way Test. This simple test has provided all of us a chance to shine in our vocations and attract other like-minded people to our clubs.

 Vocational Service
Vocational Service is the second Avenue of Service. No aspect of Rotary is more closely related to each member than a personal commitment to represent one's vocation or occupation to fellow Rotarians and to exemplify the characteristics of high ethical standards and the dignity of work. Vocational service programs seek to improve business relations while improving the quality of trades, industry, commerce, and the professions. Rotarians understand that each person makes a valuable contribution to a better society through daily activities in a business or profession.
