Rotary Club of Midland Swan Valley (Swan Rotary)

Make a difference with Rotary

Rotary Clubs are where neighbours, friends, and problem solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change. These are vibrant and respected clubs working for the good of local, national, and international communities. Discussions include community needs and how members can help, catch up with friends and make new ones and connect with leaders from all over the world.

Rotary Clubs bring together like-minded people to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.

ROTARY: Four Way Test?

The Four-Way Test is a statement of business ethics created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 to save a company from bankruptcy. It is a non-partisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. It has been translated into more than 100 languages.

The Test is not only a test of Business Ethics, but a test of ethical behaviour and personal conduct.
