Case Study: Lyles Family - A Tradition of Giving

William and Elizabeth Lyles set the standard for philanthropic giving, which their children and grandchildren now follow. Mrs. Lyles was quoted from a Lyles Co. publication, "Some years ago Rotary International published a book entitled 'Service Is My Business'. My husband gave this book away to people within the company and to others also.

He believed that being in business, or working should not be just a means to benefit ourselves. Our success should also be used to benefit our communities and others."
