It was great seeing the president-elects and president nominees at Lone Star PETS in Dallas. District Governor Elect, Dr. Zehra Surani (Dr. Z), and her team did a wonderful job educating and motivating all of us. The time is getting close for seamlessly passing the gavel from one Governor to the next. Each time improving and building on the previous administration.

Sponsorships are very important in having a successful conference. I want to thank the clubs and areas that have already committed to sponsor our event.
The Four-Way Test
The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions 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?
During the spring semester many Rotary Clubs hold a Four-Way Test Speech Competition. It is a competition offered to high school students where the student must prepare a five to seven-minute speech to illustrate the Rotary Four-Way Test.
The student is judged on Content (50%), Organization (30%), and Delivery (20%). The student must follow the Four-Way Test Theme throughout, must relate the speech to his/her own activities, must present a human-interest appeal, and must choose language that is clear, vivid, and persuasive. The student must demonstrate organization of thought including an introduction, clear and orderly points, and a brief conclusion that drives home the point of application. And finally, the student must be effective in his or her speech delivery including volume, grammar, gestures, and attitude toward the audience.
Your clubs and areas should be holding your competitions this month and the District Contest will be in Harlingen, TX at the Harlingen Convention Center on Saturday, April 27. Check the District Website to sign up for the luncheon following the contest where the winners will be announced. Please come and support our young scholars.
