The idea came about in 1988 when the members of the Dublin-Worthington Rotary Club decided to build a playground that was accessible for children with special needs. In addition to providing partial funding for the project, club members also volunteered for building and landscaping work. This photograph shows the completed playground.

The club felt that the maps would be both educational and entertaining for students. The club worked with the Center for Mapping at The Ohio State University, which provided a grid-based master template. After creating a 30- by 50-foot chalk grid on each playground's surface, Rotarians used the master template as a guide to draw chalk outlines of each state. Club members then painted over the chalk outlines to complete the maps. This photograph shows Rotarians painting the state outlines.

(2) High ethical standards;
(3) Application of service in all aspects of life;
(4) Advancement of international understanding through a world fellowship united in service.
	
The fourth object was exemplified in 1945, when 49 Rotarians served in 29 delegations as part of the United Nations Charter Conference.

                     <content:encoded><![CDATA[An early issue of the Dublin-Worthington Rotary Club newsletter, dated 26 March 1975. This issue features one of Rotary's two official mottos: "He Profits Most Who Serves Best." It also includes The Four-Way Test, which expresses the guiding principles of Rotary. 

The Four-Way Test was developed by U.S. Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor. In 1932 he was asked to help rescue the struggling Club Aluminum Company of Chicago. Taylor developed four questions as a set of ethical guidelines for the company:
(1) Is it the truth?
(2) Is it fair to all concerned?
(3) Will it build goodwill and better friendship?
(4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

All business decisions were measured against the Test. The company's debt was repaid within five years, and over the next fifteen years the company paid more than $1 million in dividends to its shareholders.

Rotary officially adopted The Four-Way Test in 1943. It serves as a guide for both the professional and personal conduct of Rotarians worldwide.

The club felt that the maps would be both educational and entertaining for students. The club worked with the Center for Mapping at The Ohio State University, which provided a grid-based master template. After creating a 30- by 50-foot chalk grid on each playground's surface, Rotarians used the master template as a guide to draw chalk outlines of each state. Club members then painted over the chalk outlines to complete the maps. This photograph shows a completed map.

The club felt that the maps would be both educational and entertaining for students. The club worked with the Center for Mapping at The Ohio State University, which provided a grid-based master template. After creating a 30- by 50-foot chalk grid on each playground's surface, Rotarians used the master template as a guide to draw chalk outlines of each state. Club members then painted over the chalk outlines to complete the maps. This photograph shows Rotarians creating a chalk grid that will form the basis of the map.
