  • We are also working on creating a charitable foundation. The details are being worked out now.
Previous Week's Speaker: GSE Team from South Korea

The GSE Team from Korea made a brief presentation. English or the lack of English hindered communication. Each member spoke briefly telling us what each did back in Korea nad the name of their home town. We were the first club luncheon they had been to so I think nerves were apart of the presentation.

The downtown club presented gifts to each members of the GSE team. Members of the GSe team from Korea each presented to our club a banner from their own sponsoring club.

The group seemed to have a lot of exciting trips they had made jsut in the State College area and activities created by the GSE chairmen, Dick Held forthe District, and Dr. Dayananda for our club. I know they made a trip to Accuweather and had a tour of the facilities. They were involved in some measure of singing and I can't help but wonder if too much kim-chee was had too!

The club sang for the first time in my five plus years as a member of the State College Downtown Rotary club, - the My Rotary song in Korean and English! A true cross cultural event!!
