Vocational Service Month

October is Vocational Service Month
Vocational Service focuses on:
- Promoting the Highest ethical Standards in all occupations
- Recognizing the value of all useful occupations
- Contributing one’s vocational talents to meeting the needs of the community
..
Rotarians are encouraged to embody these standards by applying the Four Way Test and the Rotary Code of Conduct in their professional and personal lives.
===========================================
FOUR WAY TEST
Of the things we think, say or do
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
=================================================
ROTARY CODE OF CONDUCT
As a Rotarian, I will
1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities
2. Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary
3. Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others
