  What's Good News ?

¡®Learn from the past for a brighter future¡¯

Ongoing president J.C., fellow Rotarians and honorable guests!
I would like to welcome you all for coming to participate in this bright and promising new beginning.
First of all, I¡¯d like to express my deep and sincere appreciation to outgoing president J.C. for his devotion to Rotary. His enthusiasm for the Rotary has helped to revitalize the club.

The motto of this year is an old Korean saying titled On-Go-Ji-Sin (è®Íºò±ãæ). Learn from the past for a brighter future. As the first rotary club established in 1927, we have great legacies. On one hand, we have to learn from the past of glory, on the other we should recruit new members for the brighter future. I would like to stress ¡®Harmony¡¯ between the past legacies and the new passion.
The difficulties ahead of us are still lingering. Our club activity has been steadily declining over the past decade. However, I strongly believe that Rotary club of Seoul will prosper for God¡¯s glory will grace upon us. Here, I¡¯d like to cordially and firmly ask all the members to take a very important role to revive the club.

First, I would like to sincerely ask all of you to recruit new members. They can be your acquaintances, colleagues, friends, families and relatives. The more you have the devotion and affection to our club, the bigger your passion for recruitment. Secondly, be free to call me or raise your hands during the meeting more frequently. Whether you have good news, sad news or any business tips, please call me and speak aloud. Thirdly, enjoy our club. Even though the number of our members has reduced, it does not mean that the fun side of the club has also decreased.

Our starting number might be the most appropriate for social mingling. If the time permits, I will ask you to talk and shake hands from one table to another, even during the session.
Finally, we have to remember the spirit of the Rotary which is service. We voluntarily joined the Rotary to serve. Please contribute with the PHF fund, charity ball tickets and other charitable works. I believe that charity work will enrich the lives of both the receiver and donator.

The theme of our Rotary International District 3650 this year under the leadership of Governor Park Young Koo is ¡°Building Communities, Bridging Continents'. Therefore, I would like to deepen the relationship with the sister clubs in Osaka, Manila and Melbourne. I will do my best as a president and I would like to ask for your active involvement and support in doing so. Thank you, God bless you all and God bless the Rotary club of Seoul.

Yours truly in the Seoul Rotary,

Rotarian C. H. (Cheol-Ho Paik)
President 2010-2011
