Vocational Service Award
Every year the Pataskala Rotary Club selects an area business person who epitomizes the ideal person for the Vocational Service Award. The Rotary Four-Way Test is used as the standard for the judging criteria. The Vocational Service Committee contacts former winners as well as Rotary members requesting entries for this elite recognition. At a special meeting in January, the Club honors the past winners of this award as well as recognizing the new winner(s).

The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
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?
