Earthquake/Tsunami Relief

In response to the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on 11 March, The Rotary Foundation has established the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands Disaster Fund, which will support long-term recovery projects in affected areas. Rotarians and non-Rotarians can donate online at www.rotary.org.

RI President-nominee Sakuji Tanaka, of the Rotary Club of Yashio, Saitama, says he is grateful for the warm support of Rotarians worldwide. "The great thing about Rotarians is that we share everything, including each other's joy and sadness. Despite the unthinkable hardship we're experiencing now, the people of Japan will not give up on efforts to rebuild their communities."

Rotary Club of Charlotte South Scholarship

The Charlotte-South Rotary Club has created this competition to award a South Mecklenburg High School Senior a one-time $500 scholarship for the winning essay on the subject of Rotary’s Four-Way Test. Any topic may be chosen that will utilize the Four-Way Test:

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?

The topic may be specific or general, however the essay must include all four principals of the Four-Way Test and the way these principles relate to the topic presented (i.e. how it is a useful guide in their life and how it could make a positive impact on their school or community). The length of the essay should be 500 -1,000 words.

Judging will be based on utilization and application of the principles of the Four-Way Test, creativity, organization and language/grammar.
