The Clinton Rotary Club was chartered in 1946 with the following members:
W. Davis, Woodson Franklin, Russell Gaskins, R. Hodges, Herschel Jackson, V.A. Jackson, Phil Porter, Jack Roberts, L.C. Sowell , Horace Titsworth, and E.V. Underhill. The club meets each Wednesday at noon at the Hickman County Library. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy
enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Rotarians use a method known as the Four Way Test to evaluate the things they say, think, 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?
