Hardin County AM Rotary Club As a Rotarian, a member is guided by the principles which can be found in the Four Way Test.

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, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

Of the things we think, say or do

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?

On Friday, September 25, the Hardin County AM Rotary Club heard from fellow Rotarian Steve Rice, chair of the City of Elizabethtown Planning Commission, and Aaron Hawkins, City of Elizabethtown Planning Director.

Steve and Aaron gave us an inside look at the city’s recent vote and implementation of an ordinance addressing data centers, including what the future could look like for this rapidly developing industry and why the city wanted to be prepared for potential applications.

They also shared updates on other areas of growth, development and change throughout Elizabethtown — changes we’re already seeing in our community and that will continue to shape Hardin County in the years ahead.

We appreciate Steve and Aaron taking the time to keep our club informed and give us a better understanding of where our community is headed. There’s a lot happening in Elizabethtown!

We had a great time last Friday welcoming John Wright of Hardin County Schools as our guest speaker! 🎓

John gave us an informative look at the state of our school district, including the upcoming construction of “Trojan Way” Elementary in Radcliff and exciting plans for facility upgrades and new construction throughout the district.

We always enjoy learning more about what’s happening in our community—and it sounds like there’s plenty of exciting growth ahead! 🏫🚧

Friday, 7/31, Jo Ann Heppermann, President of Rotary Club of Prospect Goshen, spoke to our club and invited us to join her Kentucky Stamp Out Cervical Cancer Initiative. Jo Ann  made a very compelling presentation that showed the areas in our state where cervical cancer is most prevalent. She also shared with us impressive statistics on the effectiveness of the vaccination, which when properly administered eliminates the chance of that child from ever getting cervical cancer.
