Three ways to make Rotary personalMichael Bucca, Central Ocean Rotary Club of Toms River, New Jersey, USA Posted on Rotary Voices 10 Feb 2016

Most Rotary clubs would beelated to have the chance to addnew members on a regular basis.Many around the world haveused traditional recruitmentmethods such as membershipdrives, advertising in newspa-pers, and inviting guest speakersto join.

While clubs have success withthese methods, there is one keycomponent that helps convertmore prospect ive membersinto actual members.

What is personalization?

Personalization is taking aspectsof a prospective member’s lifeand applying them to the benefitsof Rotary, thus creating a mutually beneficial experi-ence . This involves asking a prospective member to telltheir story so you can get to know the person’s back-ground and interests. Then you can emphasize what it isabout Rotary and your club that will particularly suit thatprospect.

Everyone has a story, professionally and personally.Some of your prospects will be business owners, someemployees, some even retired. People will be interestedin different things, and have different reasons for wantingto serve. Some individuals might be eager to roll up theirsleeves and get involved in hands-on service projects.The good news is that Rotary can be personalized, with-out eliminating the traditions that make Rotary great.

Others may really want to join a committee and contrib-ute organization or administrative skills. Still others mightbe strongest at connecting to members and people inyour community and spreading the word about your club.Finding these stories will lay the groundwork for you tocreate a Rotary experience that will be the right fit forthem.

The broader concept of personalization has become away of life in today’s society, especially among youngprofessionals in their 20s and 30s. These generationsare accustomed to personalizing everything they interactwith. Their social media pages, iPhone cases, and televi-sion viewing habits have all become customizable. Mold-ing their lives to Rotary can be off-putting. The goodnews is that Rotary can be personalized for them, with-out eliminating the traditions that make Rotary great.

How to use it

Here are three examples osituations that may arise andhow a club can use this concept to make their club attractive to the potential member:

A time-starved businesowner might not see the commitment of Rotary as somethinhe or she can do. But show thisperson the benefit of in-personnetworking and how it can heltheir business, and converselyhow they can use their business and professional skills tohelp others, and you have cre

ated a mutual partnership. Theywill see Rotary as time wespent.

An employee may be hesitant to join Rotary becausehe or she has revolving commitments that make itdifficult to attend a weekly meeting. But perhaps thisperson has a real heart for service. They may be ableto attend service activities beyond the normal work-day hours, and take part in weekend or evening clubevents. If you apply a bit of flexibility, you could allowthe individual to count these as meeting make-upsand remove a barrier to membership.

Maybe you find out a prospective member has a pas-sion for a particular area of service. If your club is al-ready engaged in this area, you can explain howmembership will help the individual pursue this pas-sion. Or if not, you can extend membership and askthem to help you get started in that area.

Personalization coupled with traditional membershipmethods can grow almost any club. Rotary has enoughmagnetism and appeal to pique anyone’s interests. If wetake the time to get to know what those interest are, andrefine our message to touch their heart strings, we willmake them a Rotarian for life.

By Anton Polsterer, past governor of District 1910and past chair of the Inter-country Committees Ex-ecutive Council

I joined Rotary in Vienna in 1986 and transferred to

the Rotary Club of Moscow while working in Russiafrom 1989-92. After moving back to Austria, I be-came governor of the district covering Bosnia &Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Aus-tria. After years of war and totalitarian governmentrule, these communities longed for freedom andpeace.

Our district had 130 clubs with more than 5,000 Ro-tarians. We represented five different nationalitiesand languages. Croatia and Bosnia were heavily

hurt by the civil war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s.Bosnia and Herzegovina had a pre-war populationof 4.5 million people including Orthodox Serbians,Catholic Croatians, and Bosnian Moslems.

During the war, close to two million people, almost50 percent of the population was displaced withintheir own country to create ―ethnic‖ regions. Fromthe very beginning, we have aimed for ethnic diver-sity in our clubs, which wasn’t easy after all the dis-placement.

The real breakthrough came with the Rotary Clubof Mostar (Bosnia), chartered in 2002. The clubstarted many projects in the spirit of tolerance andultimately succeeded in reuniting Rotarians fromboth the Croatian and the Moslem side of a towndivided by bloody conflict and physically separatedby the Neretva River.

During the war, close to two million people, almost50 percent of the population was displaced within

their own country to create ―ethnic‖ regions. The rebuilding of the old stone bridge, which wasdestroyed during the war in order to separate thetown’s population into Croatians and Bosnian Mos-lems, became an important step in reuniting the twoethnic groups. Rotary members from the Mostarclub were instrumental in coordinating and oversee-ing the project, and eventually organizing the bridge

reopening ceremony. In 2004, the opening of thebridge served to promote unity. The bridge itselfbecame a national symbol of peace.

I have spent time promoting peace between coun-tries and ethnic groups through Rotary’s Inter-country Committees. These committees aim to im-

plement bilateral projects with a focus on peacebuilding. To form an inter-country committee be-tween two countries, clubs and districts partner to-gether to get to know each other better and createan environment of common understanding and mu-tual empathy.

I am asking you, my friends in Rotary, and espe-cially on inter-country committees, to refocus yourservice projects on peace building. Find opportuni-ties to incorporate peace components into all your

service projects. Together, we can build a better,more peaceful, world.

On 2 December, a terrorist attack killed 14 peopleand wounded more than 20 others in San Bernar-dino, California.

Less than two months later, an event nearby fo-cused on peace: the Rotary World Peace Confer-

ence. The two-day meeting on 15-16 Januarybrought together experts from around the world toexplore ideas and solutions to violence and conflict.

The conference was the first of five Rotary presi-dential conferences planned for this year.San Bernardino County official Janice Rutherford, amember of the Rotary Club of Fontana, California,told attendees at the opening general session thatthe conference couldn’t be timelier.

―Now more than ever, we need to come together and createpeace and reduce human suffering,‖ said Rutherford, whodeclared 15 January 2016 Rotary World Peace Day and aDay of Peace for San Bernardino County. ―We appreciateyour commitment to exploring these options and taking themback to your community and the rest of the world.‖

More than 150 leaders in the fields of peace, education, busi-ness, law, and health care led over 100 breakout sessionsand workshops. Topics ranged from how to achieve peacethrough education to combating human trafficking to the rolethe media has in eliminating conflict.Hosted by Rotary districts in California and attended by morethan 1,500 people, the conference is an example of how Ro-tary members are taking peace into their own hands, said RIPresident K.R. Ravindran.

―We can’t wait for governments to build peace, or the UnitedNations. We can’t expect peace to be handed to us on a plat-ter,‖ said Ravindran. ―We have to build peace from the bot-tom, from the foundation of our society. The valuable informa-tion you leave with at the end of this conference will aid you inmanaging conflict in your personal lives, local communities,and potentially around the world.‖

Actress and humanitarian Sharon Stone urged conferenceattendees to find tolerance within themselves as a way to de-velop compassion and understanding for others. Noting thattoday’s technology makes it easy to learn about diverse cul-

tures and beliefs, Stone encouraged Rotary members to em-brace differences while learning about others’ work.

―The more we understand the darkness of our enemies, thebetter we know what to do, how to respond and behave,‖ saidStone.

Rotary is inching the world closer to meaningful change, saidthe Rev. Greg Boyle, executive director of Homeboy Indus-tries, a Los Angeles-based gang intervention and re-entryprogram.

―Rotary decided to dismantle the barriers that exclude peo-ple,‖ said Boyle, a bestselling author and Catholic priest. ―You[Rotary members] know that we must stand outside the mar-gins so that the margins can be erased. You stand with thepoor, the powerless, and those whose dignity has been de-nied.‖

Rotary’s most formidable weapon against war, violence, andintolerance is its Rotary Peace Centers program. Throughstudy and field work, peace fellows at the centers becomecatalysts for peace and conflict resolution in their communitiesand around the globe.

Dozens of Rotary peace fellows attended the conference topromote the program, learn about other peace initiatives, andhelp Rotary clubs understand the role they can play.

Peace Fellow Christopher Zambakari, who recently graduatedfrom the University of Queensland in Australia, said the con-ference is a chance to increase awareness of what others aredoing to achieve peace.

―Some people have only a local view toward peace,‖ saidZambakari, whose consulting firm in Phoenix, Arizona, USAprovides advisory services to organizations in Africa and theMiddle East. ―An event like this, with so many diverse per-spectives, can open up connections and different possibilitiesto how we all can work towards a more peaceful world."

Other speakers included Carrie Hessler-Radelet, director ofthe U.S. Peace Corps; Judge Daniel Nsereko, special tribunalfor Lebanon; Gillian Sorensen, senior adviser at the UnitedNations Foundation; Steve Killelea, founder and executivechair of the Institute for Economics and Peace; Dan Lungren,former U.S. representative; and Mary Ann Peters, chief ex-ecutive officer of The Carter Center and former U.S. ambas-sador to Bangladesh.

A history of the Rotary motto SERVICE ABOVE SELFRotary News 9 December 2013

Rotary’s official mottoes, Service Above Self andOne Profits Most Who Serves Best , trace back tohe early days of the organization.

n 1911, He Profits Most Who Serves Best was ap-

proved as the Rotary motto at the second conven-ion of the National Association of Rotary Clubs ofAmerica, in Portland, Oregon. It was adapted from aspeech made by Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldono the first convention, held in Chicago the previous

year. Sheldon declared that "only the science ofight conduct toward others pays. Business is the

science of human services. He profits most whoserves his fellows best."

The Portland convention also inspired the motto

Service Above Self. During a convention outing onhe Columbia River, Ben Collins, president of theRotary Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, talkedwith Seattle Rotarian J.E. Pinkham about the proper

way to organize a Rotary club, offering the principlehis club had adopted: Service, Not Self. Pinkhaminvited Paul P. Harris, who also was on the boat trip,to join their conversation. Harris asked Collins toaddress the convention, and the phrase Service,

Not Self was met with great enthusiasm.

At the 1950 RI Convention in Detroit, slightly modi-fied versions of the two slogans were formally ap-proved as the official mottoes of Rotary: He ProfitsMost Who Serves Best, and Service Above Self.

The 1989 Council on Legislation established Ser-vice Above Self as the principal motto of Rotary,because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfishvolunteer service. He Profits Most Who Serves Best

was modified by the 2004 Council to They ProfitMost Who Serve Best and by the 2010 Council to itscurrent wording, One Profits Most Who ServesBest.

A history of THE FOUR WAY TESTFrom the Archives of Rotary Global History Fellowship

A Story BehindTHE FOUR WAY TEST

By Darrel Thompson

More than 60 years ago, in the midst of theGreat Depression, a U.S. Rotarian devised asimple, four-part ethical guideline that helpedhim rescue a beleaguered business. Thestatement and the principles it embodiedalso helped many others find their own ethi-cal compass. Soon embraced and popular-ized by Rotary International, The Four-WayTest today stands as one of the organiza-tion's hallmarks.

Herbert J. Taylor, author of the Test, was amover, a doer, a consummate salesman anda leader of men. He was a man of action,faith and high moral principle. Born in Michi-gan, USA, in 1893, he worked his waythrough Northwestern University in Evans-ton, Illinois.

After graduation, Herb went to France on amission for the YMCA and the British Armywelfare service and served in the U.S. NavySupply Corps in World War I. In 1919, hemarried Gloria Forbrich, and the couple setup housekeeping in Oklahoma, USA, wherehe worked for the Sinclair Oil Company. Aftera year, he resigned and went into insurance,real estate and oil lease brokerage.

With some prosperous years behind him,Herb returned to Chicago, Illinois, in 1925and began a swift rise within the Jewel TeaCompany. He soon joined the Rotary Club ofChicago. In line for the presidency of Jewelin 1932, Herb was asked to help revive thenear-bankrupt Club Aluminum Company ofChicago. The cookware manufacturing com-pany owed $400,000 more than its total as-sets and was barely staying afloat. Herb re-

sponded to the challenge and decided to

cast his lot with this troubled firm. He re-signed from Jewel Tea, taking an 80 percentpay cut to become president of Club Alumi-num. He even invested $6,100 of his ownmoney in the company to give it some oper-ating capital.

Looking for a way to resuscitate the com-pany and caught in the Depression's dol-drums, Herb, deeply religious, prayed forinspiration to craft a short measuring stick ofethics for the staff to use.

As he thought about an ethical guideline forthe company, he first wrote a statement ofabout 100 words but decided that it was toolong. He continued to work, reducing it toseven points. In fact, The Four-Way Testwas once a Seven-Way Test. It was still toolong, and he finally reduced it to the foursearching questions that comprise the Testtoday.

And so, "The Four-Way Test of the things wethink, say or do" was born:

Is it the TRUTH?Is it FAIR to all Concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTERFRIENDSHIPS?Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Profound in its simplicity, the Test becamethe basis for decisions large and small atClub Aluminum.

At Club Aluminum in the 1930s, everythingwas measured against The Four-Way Test.First, the staff applied it to advertising. Wordslike "better," "best," "greatest" or "finest"were dropped from ads and replaced by fac-tual descriptions of the product. Negativecomments about competitors were removedfrom advertising and company literature.

In 1942, Richard Vernor of Chicago, then adirector of Rotary International, suggestedthat Rotary adopt the Test. The R.I. Boardapproved his proposal in January 1943 andmade The Four-Way Test a component ofthe Vocational Service program, althoughtoday it is considered a vital element in all

Avenues of Service .

Herb Taylor transferred the copyright to Ro-tary International when he served as R.I.president in 1954-55.

History Moment: PAUL P. HARRIS DIES; FOUNDER OF ROTARY CLUBSText of article from Chicago Tribune – Monday 27 January 1947


Paul P. Harris, founder of Rotary International, andits president emeritus, died yesterday in his home,at Comely Bank, 10896 Longwood dr. He was 79,and had been in failing health in recent years. He

was a lawyer in private life. Mr. Harris founded Ro-tary in 1905, and since then had seen it grow froma single club with a few members in Chicago to5,638 clubs in 75 countries with more than 259,000members. A spirit of loneliness influenced Mr Har-ris in part to create the world-wide organization. Hewas born in Racine, Wis., but reared at in Vermont.He was educated at Princeton and the University ofIowa in 1891. For five years he roamed, working asa newspaper man, an actor, and a salesman. Heworked on fruit farms, and twice worked his way to

Europe on cattle boats.Beginning of Rotary . In 1896, Mr. Harris settled inChicago and began the practice of law. Althoughfriendly by nature, he had few friends and he sawothers, like himself not native to the city, in similarsituation. One day in 1900 Mr. Harris had dinnerwith a lawyer friend, and later the two strolled theneighbourhood where his colleague introduced Mr.Harris to several neighbourhood merchants as hisfriends. Up to then, Mr. Harris had not made social

friends out of his business friends, or clients. Theneighbourhood experience gave him an idea. Mr.Harris decided to organize a club of representativebusiness and professional friends in fellowship and

friendship. Three of his clients, Silvester Schicle,Gustavus Loehr, and Harry Ruggles joined withhim. They met periodically in the old Mme. Gallirestaurant, often called the birthplace of Rotary,where over the dinner table they discussed plansfor the club. Essence of Rotary’s purpose was andis – serve; high standards in business, professionaland community life.

Other clubs formed . On February 23, 1905 Rotary

was born, and was so called because its membersmet in rotation at their several places of business.The idea spread, and similar clubs were formed inother cities.

In life, sometimes the experiences that matterthe most are the briefest. They pass in theblink of an eye: a few days, a few hours, afew moments. They are the experiences thatilluminate the landscape of our memory, shin-ing brightly even years later. They are themoments in which we see, suddenly, some-thing we had not seen; we understand some-thing we had not understood; we forge a con-nection we had not expected.

For me, this has been a Rotary year like noher. I have been around the world, traversing countries and conti-nts. I have been to places I had never seen before, and I haveurned to familiar places and seen them, as for the first time,ough the lens of Rotary.

hen you travel for Rotary, you travel with a different sense of per-ective and a different sense of purpose. There is an awareness ofing part of something larger than yourself. When you board a

ane or a train, or leave your home in the dark hours of early morn-g, you may be leaving for lands unknown – but at your destination,re will be no strangers. There will be Rotarians, waiting and wel-

ming. There will be work to do, something to learn, and perhapsmething to teach.

ere will be connections to forge, friendships to build, and memo-s to carry for a lifetime.is year, I have been the traveler, and I have been welcomed bytarians around the world. A few months from now, from 28 May toune, I invite you to step into my experience: allow me to welcomeu to Seoul for our 107th International Convention.

e Koreans have a saying: . In English

would say, "When a person is born, send them to Seoul." Foroul is a city of opportunities: a wonderful destination with rich tra-ions, modern conveniences, and a culture unlike any other. But Ik you to join me in Seoul not only for all of this, but also for theperiences you will have there with your fellow Rotarians.

r a brief moment in time, you will experience Rotary as I haveperienced it: in all its diversity, all its warmth, and all its potential.u will be greeted as an old friend by people you have never met;u will share your thoughts, even without a shared language. Youll learn with wonder of what Rotary has achieved, and leave in-red to achieve even more.

fore this Rotary year comes to its close, I ask you to do what Ive done: to leave your homes, to board your flights, to travel to-rd the unknown with an open heart and an open mind, confident

at Rotary will welcome you. Join me, and your fellow Rotarians, asConnect with Korea – Touch the World .

Foundation Chairman’s February 2016

When I joined Rotary many years ago, thefireside chat was a popular, simple, andeffective method of communication amongRotarians. One Rotarian would invite asmall number of fellow members to his

home (this was before the admission ofwomen in 1987) to talk about the value ofRotary in their lives. The evening wouldprovide fellowship and increase knowledgeabout Rotary programs, including The Ro-tary Foundation. In some parts of the

world, particularly Down Under, they were called poolsidechats, but the concept was the same.

As the 111th anniversary of Rotary on 23 February approaches,I hope you will take the opportunity to spend the evening withsome of your Rotary friends, men and women, to talk aboutRotary, particularly the Foundation as it prepares for its centen-

nial year in 2016-17. The anniversary falls on a Tuesday thisyear, and as Tuesday nights are normally not heavily bookedfor social activities, there are many ways to celebrate.

In today's world, our chats about Rotary may be held onlinethrough social media avenues or in person in homes, restau-rants, or pubs. I encourage Rotarians around the world to com-memorate both the birthday of Rotary and the 100th anniver-sary of The Rotary Foundation by inviting some Rotary friendsto join together in fellowship and service for conversationsabout the organization. Just as Rotary grew out of the idea ofone individual, Paul Harris, the idea of Rotary chats can be re-vived by individual Rotarians and clubs in a variety of ways.

Who will step forward to try the idea in their respective clubsthis year? If it is you, please send me a note at [email protected] to tell me about your chat. By whatevername and method, our chats on 23 February about Rotary'sfounding and the Foundation's centennial will be good for ourRotary clubs!
