NEWS RELEASE

JUNE 28, 2016

ROTARY CLUB OF OAK FOREST, ILLINOIS

Representatives from the Oak Forest Rotary Club presented 4-Way Test Awards to a number of local students over the past few weeks.

This year’s winners are: Jovita Johnson and Nicolas Aspan from Arbor Park Middle School; Cameron “Cami” Sinal and Zachary Ketza from Fierke Education Center; Melanie Ochal and Donovan Weekly from Lee R. Foster School; Christina Hanson and Douglas Racine from Hille Middle School; Mia Nutile and Chris List from Kerkstra Elementary School; Paige Kairis and Joseph McCarthy from Scarlet Oak School; Abigail Barker and John Cooke from St. Damian School.

Rotary is an organization of business and professional men and women united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

The 4-Way Test is a primary foundation of Rotary. It is used around the world in business, government, schools and homes as an effective ethics measuring stick. The Test reads: Of the things we think, say and 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?

The Oak Forest Rotary Club’s 4-Way Test Award program began in 1987. The Club presents the Award every year to a boy and a girl from local elementary and middle schools. The winners are recognized for demonstrating good behavior and exhibiting a strong moral character. The medallion awards are presented to the students at their school’s awards assembly or graduation ceremony.

The Oak Forest Rotary Club meets for lunch at 12:15PM every Tuesday at Midlothian Country Club. For membership information visit the Club’s website at www.oakforestrotary.org.

2016 Scholarship recipients

Posted by Dr. Tom on May 17, 2016

For more than 30 years, the Rotary Club of Oak Forest has recognized outstanding graduating seniors with a $1000 scholarship award based on their social and civic involvement in our community. Our criteria for selection is simple, Service Above Self or "what have you done for others in your high school career". This year those Oak Forest Rotarians who participated in the final selection process were: Sue Wolf, Bill Zerinskas, Jody Redmann, Susan Vanderwalker, Jim Pauley and myself. The following graduating high school seniors were chosen to receive a $1000 scholarship from our Club: Jenna Beardsley, Marley Majetic and Katherine Castillo. A special thanks goes out to Rotarian Savka Mladenovich whose special assistance, from beginning to end, is also greatly appreciated. Also thank you to those Rotarians who contributed their applicant assessments prior to the final interviews. Please join me in giving a warm Rotary welcome to our scholarship recipients and their parents on May 24^th.
