This month, I officially became the president of our Rotary Club for the Rotary year 2023-24. This
is my second opportunity to serve as President. I was the president of our Rotary Club 14
years ago during the Rotary year 2009-2010. General MacArthur once said, “Old soldiers
never die, they just fade away!” I, an old soldier, have not faded away. I am coming back for
a second chance.
I want to begin the new Rotary year with my expression of appreciation to all my fellow
Rotarians of my club for bestowing their belief in me, “an old soldier” to lead the club for the
second time.

Congratulations and many thanks to the outgoing President Judy Kim for taking the club to
greater heights through her hard work and devotion to Rotary. It was a remarkable
achievement by President Judy Kim and our members to receive the maximum number of
awards in various service areas and categories and the best Club Award from our District
3650.

The dedicated and passionate team of Directors and Members are the pillar of strength of
our club. Together, we will explore new avenues of opportunities in providing service and
strengthening our club.

Friendship, bonding among Members, and fellowship will be the top most priority to make the
club one big family, where each member has a sense of involvement and togetherness.
Let’s enjoy Rotary and life! And let’s have fun together!

I start my new Rotary year 2023-2024 seeking blessings, proactive support, and help from all
of you.

J. C. Jung, President
The Rotary Club of Seoul
