The Four Way Test Essay Contest Chair, Steve Grubb, and Four Way Test Speech Contest Chair, PDG Una Martone, invite you to help students adopt a set a values to live by!  The Four Way Test helps young people understand the importance of truth, fairness, building goodwill, and creating benefit.  The world needs this level of understanding in our rising leaders.   
 
Please consider adopting the Four Way Test Essay Contest for 9th graders and/or Four Way Test Speech Contest for 10-12 graders this year.  It’s absolutely FREE to the student, to the school, and to your club.  It’s easy.  Here are the details.
 
The winning essay and the speech contest finalists will make presentations during the District Conference on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at Heritage Hills Resort in York.  Wouldn’t you like to see a student from YOUR partner school on the stage?  Better yet, wouldn’t you like to see more and more students learn about the Rotary Four Way Test just by participating?  One student said: “Rotary’s test showed me that the pressure I put on myself was for no reason.  I do not need to be perfect all the time because no one is, and no one expects that of me.”
