President Charlotte England keeps the members well-informed, on their toes, and in line.She gives us a brief summary of this week's Rotary activities. (And some useful musical tips, of course . . .)
It is in times like these that a reminder of important values and practises are so worthwhile. I would like to thank Andrew Crockett on behalf of the Club for an excellent presentation on the Rotary's Four- Way Test. Andrew gave a very comprehensive Theoretical and Practical Critique which I believe highlighted the need to review our own thoughts regarding this essential guide to being a Rotarian.
Although the Four-Way Test was developed over 80 years ago it is still central to the ethos and practise of each Rotarian. Andrew's understanding of Ethics and how to apply the different types of ethics from Consequentialism, through Kantian Ethics to Virtue Ethics and Ethics of Care was both fascinating and educational.
At a time when the world is in such a challenged place we all need to look to a future which encompasses good ethics.
For music minded Members please see some suggestions for this week:
6 Suites for Unaccompanied Cello J.S. Bach
Antarctica Suite for guitar and orchestra Nigel Westlake
The Hebrides Op.26 Fingal's Cave Mendelssohn
Mambo Mindoro Cal Tjader
I look forward to seeing Members next week at our Special General Meeting. Stay safe and keep well.
Kind regards,
Charlotte England
President & Membership Director 2019-2020
