ROTARY MOMENT
None tonight.
GUEST SPEAKER :
President Ted introduced guest speaker, our very own Sue MacKinnon who gave her classification talk tonight..
Sue had a happy childhood. She spent her first 7 years in Saint Therese, Quebec but never really learned the language. She loved to ski as a child. Her family moved to Oshawa and she attended McLaughlin CVI which has many famous Alumni as well as Durham College.
Her current employer is Ontario Power Genertion.
Her children have good jobs and both do Motivational Speaking at times.
A pet project of Sue’s is to donate blood and she loves to do decorating, knitting and painting. Especially likes to make curtains, pillows and foot stool coverings.
Sue likes to look upon her life like a wine glass that is half full…not half empty.
Her first experience with Rotary was volunteering to help the Whitby Club at their successful Food Truck extravaganza. It was a good introduction.
Sue’s smile is infectious and we are so lucky to have her in our Club.
Ted thanked Sue for her excellent talk .
Meeting adjourned by President Ted.

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful
occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of
business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Rotary Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behavior that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities.
ROTARY CODE OF CONDUCT
As a Rotarian, I will
Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities
Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary
Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others
Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings
Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society
Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community
Honor the trust that Rotary and fellow Rotarians provide and not do anything that will bring disfavor or reflect adversely on Rotary or fellow Rotarians
Not seek from a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship
THE ROTARY FOUR-WAY TEST
of things we think, say and do:
Is it the truth
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build good will and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
