ROTARY CLUB OF OAK FOREST, ILLINOIS

Representatives from the Oak Forest Rotary Club presented 4-Way Test Awards to a number of local students over the past few weeks. Rotary is an organization of business and professional men and women united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

The 4-Way Test is a primary foundation of Rotary.  It is used around the world in business, government, schools and homes as an effective ethics measuring stick.  The Test reads: Of the things we think, say and 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?

The Oak Forest Rotary Club’s 4-Way Test Award program began in 1987.  The Club presents the Award every year to a boy and a girl from local elementary and middle schools.  The winners are recognized for demonstrating good behavior and exhibiting a strong moral character.  The medallion awards are presented to the students at their school’s awards assembly or graduation ceremony.

This year’s winners are: Sandy Florczyk and Myles Jude from Arbor Park Middle School; Claire O’Connell and Jason Richmond from Fierke Education Center; Gabriella Nimon and Joseph Everitt from Lee R. Foster School; Breanna Horvath and Trevor Hausherr from Hille Middle School; Grace Kaley and Jacob Wikberg from Kerkstra Elementary School; Erin Malloy and Luis Rosales from Scarlet Oak School; Gabrielle Rivera and Timothy Krafcisin from St. Damian School.

The Oak Forest Rotary Club meets for lunch at 12:15PM every Tuesday at Midlothian Country Club.  For membership information visit the Club’s website at www.oakforestrotary.org
