최은주 회장 자택서 30명 회원 참석 'BBQ 파티'▲ 창립 9주년을 맞아 로타리 클럽 회원들이 최은주 회장(사진 앞쪽 가운데) 자택에서 '차터 나잇 디너'를 즐겼다. /사진=시카고 한인 로타리 클럽
[시카고교차로] 시카고 한인 로타리클럽이 창립 9주년을 맞아 지난달 27일 오후 6시 최은주(Julie Choi) 회장 자택에서 가족같은 분위기로 차터 나잇(Charter Night)을 보냈다. 이 자리에는 약 30명의 회원이 참석했다. '차터 나잇'은 국제로타리에 가입 승인된 날을 기념하기 위한 저녁모임을 말한다.
로타리클럽 관계자는 "예년 호텔에서 가진 행사에 비해 더 화기애애한 분위기에서 늦은 시간까지 자발적으로 BBQ를 하며 편안한 자리를 함께 했다"고 전했다.
한편, 지난 2008년 시작된 시카고 한인로타리 클럽은 그동안 소아마비 퇴치와 제 3세계 어린이들을 위한 구호활동에 전념해 왔다. 아울러 7K 마라톤 행사 등 시카고 한인사회 참여 및 봉사에도 앞장서 왔다. 이달에는 골프아우팅 행사도 예정돼 있다. The 9th charter night of the Rotary Club of Chicagoland Korean was celebrated among the members and friends of the Club at the residence of Julie Choi, President of the Club on August 27, 2016. The well-attended party featured Korean BBQs and other Korean delicacy and provided ample opportunities to mingle, socialize and talk about upcoming events and activies of the Club. Long Live RCCKN!

It is my honor and privilege to serve you as the Club President for RY 2011 – 12. Since it was founded in 2008, the Chicagoland Korean Rotary Club has actively participated in various service projects locally and worldwide. These past achievements were made possible due to the warm heart and enthusiasm of our preceding presidents, Dr. Sung Won Kim, Mr. Won Yoon, and Dr. Byoung In Suh, Ph.D. ‘Reach Within to Embrace Humanity’ is the theme of 2011 – 12 RI. Carlos Früm, the Governor of Rotary District 6440, asks us, ‘Why did you join Rotary?’ It is because we want to help others, as it is part of our humanity. ‘Service and Fellowship’ is our Club motto. We will continue to strengthen the fellowship between the club members, which is a prerequisite element for providing humanitarian service, be it within our community or global-wide. Our committees are encouraged to commit to various service projects. We will continue to strive to be true Rotarians. We will work together and dedicate ourselves to service. I wish you will enjoy your time in the club. Sincerely yours, Paul Byungtag Kim President of Chicagoland Korean Rotary Club |

지난 11월 18일 11명의 우리 로타리언들은 Greater Chicago Food Depository 의 봉사활동에 참여했다. 8천 파운드의 음식물을 8백여 개의 박스에 나누어 담는 일을 세 시간에 해냈다. 처음에는 낯선 일에 서툴기 짝이 없었지만 곧 익숙해져 수련공 못지않은 솜씨들를 뽐냈다. 포장된 이 음식물들은 시카고 주변 교회와 셸터에 보내어 배고픈이들 에게 전달 된다고 한다. 피곤도 잊은 채 다음 봉사를 서로 또 약속하는 우리 멤버들의 얼굴에는 봉사하는 즐거움으로 환하게 빛났다.

Autumn has arrived to bring cool pleasant breeze and cornucopia of harvest. Although it often puts us in nostalgic, sometimes even melancholic mood, autumn is a great season. Since autumn equinox passed by quite a while ago, days are getting short and nights are getting longer and holyday season is approaching. It is time for us to read more and think more. I have a poem on October and one of my own which was written some time ago. As autumn comes As autumn comes, What I remember most While I am inhaling cool air That is scented with chrysanthemums Is my mother. She used to collect flower petals Of chrysanthemums To use for chrysanthemum wine Which she loved to brew For holidays and guests. I loved to help her for picking chrysanthemum And watch her While she was brewing wine. Those good times has long gone But it is still vivid in my memory. Now, I am far away In a remote country. I am still longing for the time When I was young and gallant And every thing seemed pleasurable While my mother was around.

September 23 is Autumn Equinox, which has equal length of day and night, and also coincide with first day of Autumn. From now on, night starts to get longer until it reaches Winter Solstice. Autumn season is great, at least to me, which brings cornucopia of harvest and cool pleasant breeze, although often fetches nostalgic, even melancholic mood. That is why people become ponderous and more sophistcated while reading and thinking. Anyway, it is time to enjoy great nature, beautiful autumn foliage!

Dear Chicagoland Korean Rotarians: Whenever we tear off a sheet of calendar, especially when a season turns to another, we feel that times flow like a flowing stream. August has passed by and September has arrived as hot sultry season is just about over. I just came back from a tour in the nations around Baltic Sea, which has given to me unforgettable experience and memories. Here, I would like to share with you some by posting pictures, which I took during the tour. |
||
How are you, all members of Chicagoland Korean Rotary Club?
It has been hot sultry days so everyone must feel uncomfortable. However I am sure everyone is doing ok.
I have been asked to take reponsibility to manage chicagolandkoreanrotaryclub.org website. I'll do my best to make the website better and useful, though it is useless unless members use it. Please visit as often as possible. In the future, I'll give some sessions to all so everyone can get used to and accustomed to it
Ill be leaving for European tour around Baltic Sea on Sunday so I'll miss two weekly meetings and all of you. I hope everyone have nice time until I see you again!
The following is the youtube website where you can get USA National Anthem. By clicking it, you can have vocal and lyric of National Anthem.

Coming Sunday, June 21, is Father's Day, which is as much significant as Mother's Day just as mother and father are equally important in the family. Everybody has a father, therfore everybody should honor father. Give a big hug to him and a celebration by giving a gift or taking him to the restaurant for dinner, etc.

May! The word of May alone may make us excited. May is the month of family, while we celebrate Mother's day, graduation, wedding, etc. along with spring festivity. Members of Chicagoland Korean Rotary Club, how have you been? It seems many months have passed away since I went to Portugal and Spain for a tour with President, Sung Wun Kim and some other members. In fact it was only 10 days. We spent a wonderful time over there while enjoying beautiful sceneries and unforgetful historical as well as cultural experiences. I intend to talk about the trip more later on. |

"Do not look for spring faraway from your vicinity. Spring comes first always near you just like happiness is in the corner around you." It is still chilly outside but if you have gone outside to look around in your backyard, you might have found crocus blooming. It means spring is here already. |
