The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise. The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages. For the Rotary Club of Edmond, the Four Way Test recognizes local business that meet the following test requirements: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?The 2021-2022 winners of this award were Dr. V.
