Programs-
Today's program focus was on the ARC Cookie Factory.  Guests Sam, Tiffani, and Marnie demonstrated how the cookies are manufactured  from making and scooping of dough.  There are fifteen cookies per package.  Jen reported that they produce 750 cookies per day and have cookies sold in 30+ venues.  Each Rotarian was able to enjoy one cookie after the program.  Some even got more than one, right Scott??
Raffle & Cookies
Jen's ticket won the raffle but she did not pull the 3 of spades to win the $100. She donated her $10 to the Archambault scholarship.  Linda Lemmon's ticket won the cookies!

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings: 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?

These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
