The Best Way to Find Yourself
Is to Lose Yourself in the
Service of Others
A New Chapter in Service
As one era comes to an end, another begins. Though the Rotary Club of Northeast Florida no longer exist effective June 30, 2025, the friendships we’ve built, the lives we’ve touched, and the spirit of "Service Above Self" will never fade.
Rotary has shown all of us that service isn’t confined to a meeting room or a membership card—it’s a way of life, a commitment to kindness, a shared purpose that unites us beyond formal boundaries.
To those who have been part of this journey, thank you. Thank you for the laughter, the teamwork, and the moments that made a difference. And to those who carry the torch forward, know that service doesn’t end here. You don’t need a club to serve—you need a willing heart.
So continue on with the good work, in significant ways and small, wherever you are.
Because when you serve, you build something greater than yourself.

This test is the hallmark of Rotary. Since it was developed in 1932 by Herbert J. Taylor, who later became RI president. It has never ceased to be relevant. Its four brief questions are not based on culture or religion. Instead, they are a simple checklist for ethical behavior. They transcend generations and national borders.
