“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Amanda is happy that she got to take a snow day today and spend some time playing with her son and her snow loving puppy outside.
Barry is happy that he was named General Manager of the Arc Micro Businesses. He is also happy that he was able to celebrate Aileen's 90th Birthday this past weekend by giving her a Trump Chia Pet.
Joe was also happy to celebrate Aileen's birthday and said that there were lots of Rotarians at the party.
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
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
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.
