THE 4-WAY TEST - Each year in February or March we have a SPEECH CONTEST among High School students in the Temecula Valley. The contest is based on the 4-Way Test of the things we think, say, and do. From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is the 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI President) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by rotary in 1943, the 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions:
"Of the things we think, say, and 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?
MUSIC COMPETITION Temecula Sunrise Rotary holds a MUSIC COMPETITION each year in February. Talented musicians from the local high schools compete, and the top three winners go on to the District level competition.
For our 11th Annual Competition in 2010,Temecula Sunrise Rotary had a total of 16 high school students who competed for cash prizes in three categories: Vocal, Piano, and Instrumental. The first place prize of $400 went to vocalist Megan Samarin, a senior at Murrieta Valley High School. Megan went on to win first place in the district vocal competition and performed at the Rotary District Conference in June 2010. Second place and $250 was presented to pianist Bryce Russell, a home-schooled freshman. Third place and $100 went to flutist Patricia Bradley, a Great Oak High School junior. The club also sent the fourth place winner Ellie Rickards to the finals. She was a flutist attending Linfield Christian School as a sophomore.
Now we are planning our 12th Annual Competition to be held on Monday night, February 7, 2011 at Grace Presbyterian Church. For more information about competeting, contact Marti Treckman at 951-698-6116.
