Towne Lake Rotary Launches Essay Contest For Youth

TOWNE LAKE, GA — Cherokee County residents ages 10-14 have the opportunity win a cash prize by sharing how they utilize the "truth" component of the Four-Way Test in their daily lives.

“The Four-Way Test is the foundation of how Rotarians across the world live their lives. It’s recited at every Rotary meeting,” President of the Rotary Club of Towne Lake Phil Ciccone said. “We hope local students take this opportunity to participate in the Four-Way Test Essay Contest, and if they didn’t know about it before, we hope they learn it and begin applying it in their young lives.”

The Rotary Club of Towne Lake is challenging youth in Cherokee County to not only learn the Four Way Test but to share how they apply the "truth" component in school, with friends, with family or in their volunteer work.

Entries should answer how you determine whether something is true and the factors you consider in reaching the answer to “Is it the TRUTH?” The essay also should address how the other three points of the Four-Way Test might, or might not, help you arrive at whether something is the truth.
