Rotary Club Four Way Speech Contest
Date: February 29, 2012
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Event Description
Rotary International District 5300 hosts a Four-Way Test Speech Contest each year. This year the theme is Reach Within to Embrace Humanity. Rotary Clubs throughout the District invite students from local high schools to compete.
Students share perspectives on the Four-Way Test. Each speech must be based on Herb Taylor’s famous statement on business ethics.
"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?"
Understanding, appreciating, and expressing the true meaning of the Four-Way Test is the most important aspect of each speech. Many times the students’ thoughtful speeches unravel the complexities of Four-Way Tests in new and innovative ways.
The schedule is as follows:
February
Club Level Contest
March
Group Level
April
Regional Level
May
District Level
Local Clubs volunteer to host Group and Regional Level contests. The Four-Way Test finals are always a highlight of the District Conference. In the past, the first place prize is $5000. The three runners-up will receive $1500 each.
