Rotary's FOUR-WAY TEST of the things we think, say or do:

• first…Is it the TRUTH?
• second…Is it FAIR to all concerned?
• third…Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
• fourth…Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

The Object of Rotary

To encourage and foster the ideal of service, as a basis of worthy enterprise:

1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
3. The application of the ideal of Service by every Rotarian's personal, business and community life.
4. The advancement of international understanding, good will and peace through world fellowship of business and professional people, united in the ideal of service.

"Build Bridges of Service to International Peace"

The Grosse Ile Rotary Club was the first service organization on the Island. During its 60 years, the Grosse Ile Rotary has followed the four "Avenues of Rotary Service": Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service.

Some of the efforts of the Grosse Ile Rotary Club Include:

• Sponsorship of cub scouts, boy scouts and girl scouts. (Chairperson - Deborah Green)
• Administration of the Island community/school blood drives in conjunction with the High School. (Chairman-Rev. Edward Aller)
• Award a "Service Above Self" scholarship each year to a graduating High School Senior who best displays that Rotary motto. (Chairman - Stewart Giles)
• Recognize an Island resident annually, by a "Citizen of the Year" award, who has given service to the community. (Chairman - Harvey Orth)
• Compilation and publication of the Grosse Ile Rotary Directory. The Directory is provided at no cost to all island residents. (Chairman - Red Van Os)
• Sponsor foreign exchange students who have visited the island, as well as, interviewed and sponsored students who have gone from Grosse Ile to other parts of the world. The club also sponsors foreign study/business exchanges. (Chairman - Bruce Webster)
