Reynoldsburg - Pickerington Rotary Club

About Our Rotary Club

Welcome to The Rotary Club of Reynoldsburg - Pickerington. Our club was admitted to Rotary on
February 19, 1986 and is a part of Rotary International. The charter presentation ceremony was held on April 12, 1986 with Dr. Morgan Heflin as the charter president. Ceremonies were held at the Columbus Country Club in Columbus, Ohio with members from our club as well as the Whitehall Rotary Club, our sponsors, in attendance.

Our club was formed with just over thirty charter members and now has a consistent membership
of approximately fifty members. Over the years, we have had over two hundred members in our club.
Many of our members are still with use; however, many have worked their way up the corporate ladder, have been relocated, changed jobs, transferred out of the area or have passed away.

The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

I. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service

    II.    High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all
           useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to
           serve society

III. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community
life

IV. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world
fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service

The 4-Way Test

From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the most widely quoted statements of business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions: "Of the things we think, say or do":

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it Fair to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
