4 When You Lose a Rotarian Friend, Consider a Contribution to The Modesto Rotary Foundation or Endowment Fund... THE FOUR-WAY TEST: Of the things we think, say, or do...1) Is it the TRUTH? 2) Is it FAIR to All Concerned? 3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
