The Rotary Club of Takoradi-Anaji in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis (STMA) of the Western Region has commissioned a billboard depicting the ‘4-Way Test’ of the Club to educate the public on its usefulness so as to embrace it for an improved society.
The 4-Way Test even though observed by Rotarians in the world and in all circles of life, especially the business community is expected to address the declining moral issues in our society and cause a chain reaction of individuals becoming their better selves when observed.
Past Assistant Governor (PAG) of Rotary Club, Ghana, Eugene Ofori-Atta who unveiled the Billboard hinted that the ‘4-Way Test’ of Rotary is based on the things we think, say or do and cited them thus, “Is it the Truth?, Is it Fair to all concerned?, Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?, and Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?”
He pointed out that the Billboard which depicts one of the Club’s cherished tenets thus, the 4-Way Test of Rotary is in a positive light, especially so because it is strategically located at the heart of town to welcome people to Takoradi and bid them farewell upon their departure.
He said that Rotary has two main pillars on which it is rooted and grows which are the camaraderie in the fellowship members enjoy at various meetings, functions and organized events, and the other which has become the most important and its signature is the undertaking of service projects.
“The latter ensures that most of the populace in our community stands to benefit from our goodwill in order that the world becomes a better place. I therefore have no doubt in my mind that it will not be long before you are noted for undertaking one of the best and impactful service projects”, he stated.
PAG Offori-Atta explained that every new Club was entreated to embark on a first service project upon the receipt of their Charter and this has become quite fashionable now across the District and it was quite refreshing to note that the Club has heeded this call and begun its journey on a sound footing.
Mr Isaac Osabu Anang, Charter President of the Takoradi-Anaji Club said the Billboard was a birthday gift to the Rotary Club of Takoradi-Anaji for joining hands with some 1.2 million people around the world to provide selfless services to make life better for everyone across the globe.
According to him, since Rotary serves to save lives, the Billboard will also bid travellers farewell when leaving the Western Region with the faith that one will travel safely to reduce road accidents and preserve lives and properties.
He opined that the commissioning of the Billboard marks an important milestone in the history of the Rotary Club of Takoradi-Anaji and commended the members for the success of the project.
Mr Anang added that the Billboard serves as an ornamental project in the age of beautifying our cities as well as keeping them clean as the face of the board welcomes one to the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis and to the Western Region of Ghana.
