A Positive Message from Service Organizations

I’ve had the opportunity to speak at a number of Rotary, Kiwanis and Optimist clubs recently. I’m always struck by the combination of patriotism and willingness to help other people. In this time of divisiveness it’s refreshing to be with people who strongly believe in community service.

As an example, Rotary believes in service above self. It’s Four-Way Test is a message we all need to take to heart:

“Of the things we think, say or do:

-          Is it the truth?

-          Will it build goodwill?

-          Will it build better friendships?

-          Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”
