The Rotary Club of Chicagoland Korean – Northbrook announced a $10,000 contribution to Rotary’s $200 Million Challenge during the Korea Day celebration held at the Rotary International Headquarters on 29 January.
The Chicagoland Korean – Northbrook club presented a mock check for $10,000 to RI President D. K. Lee at the event. President Lee said, “Your donation is particularly admirable coming from a Rotary club in its first year.”
President Lee presented the club charter to the Chicagoland Korean-Northbrook club with District Governor Pamela Kerr on 22 August 2008. Attendees were asked to make a $50 donation to Rotary's $200 Million Challenge. About 175 people attended the charter night and the event raised $6,000.
The Korea Day was a special celebration of the philanthropy and leadership exhibited by an elite group of Korean Rotarians. President Lee honored four Rotarians from Korea by inducting them into the Arch C. Klumph Society, named in honor of our Foundation’s founder.
Each of these dedicated Rotarians has donated at least $250,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Korean Rotarians have distinguished themselves as true leaders in the Rotary community; outside of the US, Korea has the greatest number of Arch C. Klumph Society members in the world.
