Our Work
The work of Rotarians is both local and international. The Rotary Club of Los Alamos with approximately 50 members, raises funds locally for tuition scholarships, student of the month awards, GED test funding and transportation, exchange student programs, back to to school supplies, senior citizen van purchase for free local transportation, mentoring and tutoring, local business recognition, community garden at Los Alamos High School, and more. Globally, we contribute to the eradication of polio, safe water supply development and hygiene education, eradication of Guinea worm in Ghana, crisis response when needed, and more.
Friendship
We do a lot of work to create meaningful contributions, and we have a lot of fun doing it. Fellowship and friendship is a core component of the Rotary experience. We abide by the Four Way Test , a code of ethics adopted by Rotary in 1943, which has been translated into more than 100 languages:
Of the things we think, say or do
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Four Way Test Winners. Eighth grade students form Los Alamos Middles School wrote essays on the significance of the Four Way Test. The three winners joined Rotarians for lunch in March, 2011 and read their essays to much applause. The young writers were awarded certificates and cash prizes; but more important, earned an understanding of the Four Way Test's principles for friendship, integrity and justice. The 2013 Four Way Essay Test commenced in January. Winners will be announced this spring.
