Samuel Wright was welcomed as the newest member at his presentation at the Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021, meeting of the Rotary Club of Marlin. There he joined other Rotarians in the four-way test: 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?  The Four Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943, and is used in all clubs around the world.

In 1989, the Council on Legislation established “Service Above Self” as the principal motto of Rotary, since it best explains the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.
