Rotary District 7390 holds an annual Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Contest. The Speech contest is based around 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. High school students from grades 10, 11 & 12 can participate in the contest by simply writing a speech that applies the Rotary Four Way test to the subject of the speech. During the 2024-2025 Rotary year, the Passport Club had an outstanding student participate in the Speech Contest! The Club presented Ben with a check for his efforts.
