The New-Geumgang Rotary Club of District 3680 in South Korea sent a delegation to our club luncheon meeting on 24 March 2004. The delegation included Club President Ki No Sung, Club Executive Park Jong On, Chairman of Social Service Committee Jeong Won-Gi and Chairman of International Service Committee Jeon Seong Kyu.

The New-Geumgang Rotary Club is located in Daejeon City (大田, also spelled as Taejon), the fifth largest city of South Korea with a population of 1,4 million. It is a thriving technology and science metropolitan city, and has hosted the World Expo and the World Cup in recent years.

The delegation had arrived on 23 March 2004 and was received at the airport by our President Chan Tak Ling, Vice President David Ting and Treasurer Stephen Lai. New-Geumgang Rotary Club would like to explore forming a sister club with us and we were honored to host their lunch visit to let club members from both clubs to get to know each other.

Our club also hosted a reception dinner on their arrival to Hong Kong on 23 March and an evening out to the Races at the Hong Kong Jockey Club in Sha Tin on 24 March.

Special thanks to Ms Susannah Kim for interpreter service during our meetings and discussions with our visitors. We look forward to further visits of our two clubs to each other in the near future.
