[시카고교차로] 시카고 한인 로타리클럽이 창립 9주년을 맞아 지난달 27 오후 6 최은주(Julie Choi) 회장 자택에서 가족같은 분위기로 차터 나잇(Charter Night) 보냈다. 자리에는 30명의 회원이 참석했다. '차터 나잇' 국제로타리에 가입 승인된 날을 기념하기 위한 저녁모임을 말한다.

 

로타리클럽 관계자는 "예년 호텔에서 가진 행사에 비해 화기애애한 분위기에서 늦은 시간까지 자발적으로 BBQ 하며 편안한 자리를 함께 했다" 전했다.

 

한편, 지난 2008 시작된 시카고 한인로타리 클럽은 그동안 소아마비 퇴치와 3세계 어린이들을 위한 구호활동에 전념해 왔다. 아울러 7K 마라톤 행사 시카고 한인사회 참여 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!

Message from the President, Paul Byungtag Kim

Posted by Paul Kim on Aug 04, 2011

Paul_Kim 

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

Oh Shin Ae There are many prominent and recognizable members in Chicagoland
Korean Rotary Club, who are contributing a great deal to Korean Community,
consequently to all people in Chicago area. One of them is Oh, Shin Ae. She is
currently the President of Board of Directors of Little OL Korea. Little OL
Korea is a cultural organization, which is consisted of 9-13 year old children,
comprises three groups; Girls Choir, Boys Orchestra, Girls Folk Dance Group.
All groups  are mainly learning and performing Korean culture based performing arts
to disseminate and advocate Korean culture, thereby, people of all ethnic
background get known
Korea and Korean people better. It is also thought that children of
Korean heritage would build their confidence in their root and pride of being
part of Korean Heritage by learning Korean culture.


 

Oh, Shin Ae has served very successfully this organization as the president of Board of Directors since 2006. We wish for much success with her work and promising future project!

How are you while it is tormenting cold out there?

Posted by Jae Ro on Jan 23, 2011


Dear Chicagoland Korean Rotary Club Members:


Cold weather gets more harsh as winter gets deeper. How is
everyone doing out there while it is freezing cold?


Because tormenting cold winter is here, warm spring is wanted more
expecting sweet spring time will greet us. However, now whole world is covered
with celestial snow which still give us beautiful scenery. If we adventure with
winter fun such as strolling over snow covered field, cross country skiing,
downhill skiing, etc. we may encounter wonderful nature and even have fun.


Unless we are fortunate enough to escape winter cold somewhere in
south or west, we should confront harsh winter weather not with reluctance,
rather enjoyment so that we can get by easier.


I put here some poems about winter season which I wrote a while
ago

로터리 봉사활동 @ Greater Chicago Food Depository

Posted by Kyung Ja Kim

 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 come!

Posted by jaero822

 

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.

Autumn Equinox and Begin of Autumn

Posted by jaero822
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!

September has arrived!

Posted by jaero822

 

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.

Greetings from Webmaster

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.

 

Respectfully,

 

Jae Ro

 Dear fellow Rotarians and friends,

It is my honor and privilege to serve you as Club President for RY2011. As you all are aware, we are still in our infancy as a club.

I look forward to a year of exciting projects, successful fundraisers, and membership growth. Let's work together to build our communities and bridge continents!

Father's Day - June 21, Sunday

Posted by Jae Ro
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 has arrived

Posted by Jae Ro

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.

How wonderful she is! Yu Na Kim

Posted by jaero822

 

She did not disappoint us!

 She is really a queen of ice-figure skating, the champion of champions on the ice. After she won world championship of figure skating in 2009, she got olympic gold medal acquiring indisputablle reputation that no one can beat her on ice, just as Scott Hamilton said: It is hard for anyone to beat her!

"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.
