Keith Woolnough - 98 years young

The Manningham City Rotary Club proudly celebrates the 98th birthday of long-standing Rotarian Keith Woolnough.

A Rotarian for 65 years, Keith has exemplified “Service Above Self,” including his leadership in the Glenoura tree planting initiative alongside Wally Spinks, Landcare Australia, the Pajero Club of Victoria, the Rotary Club of Seymour South, and students from East Doncaster Secondary College.

Before Rotary, Keith enjoyed an outstanding football career with the Northcote ‘Dragons’ Football Club, playing 185games over a decade from 1947, the vice-captain of the VFL-VFA team in the demonstration match at the 1956 Summer Olympics, winning the prestigious J. J. Liston Trophy in 1958 (and trading elbows with my father, who played for Camberwell!)

The club warmly congratulates Keith on this remarkable milestone.

Environmental tree planting at Glenoura

At our meeting on April 15, we heard from PP Wally Spinks about our club's involvement in this project.

Rotary Manningham City, along with Rotary clubs worldwide, support environmental sustainability by organising tree planting projects with local partners. These efforts absorb carbon, reduce heat, prevent erosion, and boost biodiversity.

For many years, Manningham City has undertaken a tree planting project at Glenoura (near Seymour) alongside Landcare Australia, the Pajero Club of Victoria, the Rotary Club of Seymour South, and students from East Doncaster Secondary College. Tree planting fosters community involvement and educates young people about sustainability. Each initiative is a step towards a greener, more sustainable future – one tree at a time.

The 4-Way Test

The 4-Way Test was created by Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. It is now one of the most quoted statements on business ethics. Taylor introduced it as an ethical guideline for employees to promote honesty and integrity.

In 1943, Rotary International adopted the test, making it central to their philosophy and ethical decision-making.

The Four Questions

The test consists of four simple questions that are applied to the things we think, say, or do:
