Byesville Rotarians celebrated Christmas early at their Tuesday meeting by bringing toys to be donated to the Secret Santa drive. Club members, lead by Joe “Grizz” Smith, shared thoughts about the value of The Four Way Test which provides an ethical guide for decisions. These four questions are used by Rotarians to encourage and foster ideals of service and to encourage high ethical standards in business and personal dealings.
Rotarians typically start each meeting by reciting the four questions of the 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?
In the spirit of the season, festivities continued as club members shared “Happy Thoughts” with each other. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed fellowship with each other while they ate breakfast. Nellie Bichard provided Christmas cards to each member, and names were drawn for gifts. Breakfast was catered by the Byesville Village Market.
In other business, Bob Long, chair of the Christmas Food Basket program, reported that all is going well. Bell ringing and other donations have been good. Club members will continue to celebrate the meaning of Christmas by distributing food baskets to families who registered for the baskets on Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Main Avenue Methodist Activity Center between 7:00-11:00am.
