President Elect's Telegram ~ June 18, 2020

President Elect’s Telegram

Each week I will highlight something about Rotary that all Rotarians should know or be aware of.
|
|
I have always wondered how the 4 Way Test came about
|
In the early 1930’s Herbert J. Taylor set out to save the Club Aluminum Products distribution company from bankruptcy. He believed himself to be the only person in the company with 250 employees who had hope. His recovery plan started with changing the ethical climate of the company. He explained:
|
The first job was to set policies for the company that would reflect the high ethics and morals God would want in any business. If the people who worked for Club Aluminum were to think right, I knew they would do right. What we needed was a simple, easily remembered guide to right conduct – a sort of ethical yardstick- which all of us in the company could memorize and apply to what we thought, said and did.
|
“I searched through many books for the answer to our need, but the right phrases eluded me, so I did what I often do when I have a problem, I can’t answer myself: I turn to the One who has all the answers. I leaned over my desk, rested my head in my hands and prayed. After a few moments, I looked up and reached for a white paper card”. Then I wrote down the twenty-four words that had come to me:
|
|
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
|
|
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
|
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
|
He called it “The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do
|
We will have our first live meeting at the MAC on Thursday June 18th. We have not met at the MAC since the beginning of March so we still have a few procedural items to work out, especially in keeping in compliance with new COVID procedures. Please be patient. Masks will be required from the time you walk into the MAC until you get to the Ballroom. Then they are optional. I am told they will also be taking temperatures of everyone entering the MAC.
|
We will be trying a new pre-meeting online registration starting with this meeting. Although this is not mandatory (yet) please respond to the email to give us a good idea of attendance.
|
Club 11 Rotarian Dale Ruthsatz will be the speaker on June 18th, giving us an update on the many developments in the City of St. Louis. I hope most of you come downtown for the meeting. If you don’t feel comfortable or if you can’t make it, we will be zooming the meetings that you can watch at home.
|
PLEASE CONTINUE TO WORK AT BEING HEALTHY DURING THESE TRYING TIMES

Mr Ruthsatz is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis with a B. S. degree in Architecture. He began his career in the private practice of architecture, but began working at the St. Louis Plan Commission in 1995.

MAC guidelines for entering the building requires you to wear a face mask in the MAC until you get to the ballroom. Then it can be removed. As you leave the ballroom you will need to put the mask back on to exit the MAC. ( We will bring masks and gloves that will be available for members if needed).
There is one way in and one way out only. You will enter at the garage entrance of the MAC. The front doors are locked.

Statement from Rotary International

We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.

Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
