The Four-Way Test
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?
We are excited about the upcoming 2010-2011 Rotary year that is before
us.
The Rotary International theme for
this year is Building Communities Bridging Continents.
Our Directors, committee chairs, co-chairs and committee
members are working hard towards a productive year of service above self.Under our Member Services area, we are
working on a project that will come under our History Committee that is looking
towards the beautification of one of the older cemeteries in our county that is
the resting place for many deceased Dublin Rotarians.In the area of International Service, we are
working with a number of clubs in our area towards providing clean water, a
maize mill and other sustaining support such as goats for an area of Malawi in
Africa in which we have been involved in recent years.Supporting children in the area of reading
with the FERST Foundation and assisting adults towards receiving their GED are
a few more areas where we will focus some effort this year that comes within
our Vocational Service area.Workingwith and for children and young adults is another area of Community Service for
our club.These are a few of the plans
that we have for this next Rotary year.Our District Governor is Lloyd Horadan, and he
has challenged our district to be mindful to include family and fun.We intend to enjoy this year
together while servingothers.

Country Club with our meal beginning at 12:00 PM and our meeting

The history of the Dublin Rotary Club is also the history of Dublin itself. The Club archives contain photographs and documents that illustrate the economic and social struggles that residents of Dublin and Laurens County faced in the first half of the twentieth century. From the crisis of business credibility during the Great Depression, through the economic and social sacrifices demanded by the Second World War, into a period of prosperity and service, we witness the progress not only of a club, but also of a community.
