OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND PEOPLE
Several principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world. In particular the Objectives and the Four-Way Test guide us throughout our meetings and projects.
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.

HISTORY OF ROTARY CENTRAL CAYMAN
THE CHARTER MEMBERS
The Rotary Club of Central Cayman Islands received its charter from Rotary International on October 30 1986. The Charter President was John A. Furze. All these years later, one of the original members still remain in the club, proving that Rotary is a family for life. Here is a photo of some of our past Presidents, taken in 2014.
OUR PROJECTS
Over the years, the club has met many needs of varying sorts within the community – assistance with housing, the building of the T.E. McField Centre, the restoration of the Mastic Bridge, and hurricane relief. The club also recognises its international responsibilities and has contributed to disaster relief projects, and sanitation and clean drinking water programmes worldwide.
Rotary Central is a major contributor to the Rotary Foundation, and in 2005 achieved 100% Paul Harris Fellow status, only the second club in District 7020 to achieve this honour.
Some of our major initiatives include the Annual Music Extravaganza and the Bill Hrudey Science Fair.
