The Rotary Four-Way Test
The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following four simple questions:
Of the things we think, say 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?

Oct. 7, 2015 - The new Greenway restroom, a partnership between Bradley Sunrise and Cleveland noon Rotary clubs, is nearing completion! All that remains on the construction is a few last-minute details. Two connecting sidewalks to the greenway are awaiting cooperative weather, so until then it must remain locked to the public. If you have not had a chance to take a look, feel free to drive by. The roof was chosen to represent Rotary blue! Both clubs are looking forward to a day in the near future when they can gather for a formal ribbon-cutting!
Members from the Cleveland Rotary Club and Bradley Sunrise Rotary joined together for a historic ground- breaking on the Greenway last week. The clubs are financing the construction of a new public restroom, the first time the two clubs have worked on a major service project together.

From the Cleveland Daily Banner...Coach Jones meets local Vol fans by RICHARD ROBERTS Banner Sports Editor
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE head football coach Butch Jones spoke to a capacity crowd of Vols fans at the Bradley Central High School Center for the Performing Arts Friday evening. Tennessee football fans braved the rainy weather in droves Friday to listen to first-year head coach Butch Jones talk about the team of Volunteers he and his staff are working to build in Knoxville.
As he has since he took the controls of the UT football program, Jones connected with the fans and again exuded total confidence in the team, his staff and the plan to take Tennessee back to prominence.
