Korea

Ever wanted to speak directly with the journalists who write about the topics that shape your future? Rotary gives you personal access to the people who work with major global topics.

The Rotary of Seoul International Volunteers (SIV) invite you to a conversation about the future direction of Korea. International journalists, Don Kirk and Alastair Gale, will present contrasting views of the political and economic future of Korea. As we think global, we will embrace service our local community.

Join the dialog:

  • Tuesday, November 1, 2016 starting at 7:30 pm
  • Seoul Foreign Correspondents Club in the Korea Press Center Building (behind Seoul City Hall)
  • Google Map: https://goo.gl/maps/bMujppEXCgz
  • An informal pay-as-you go dinner and/or drinks is available at the event

Service Above Self

SIV is working together with our Young Leaders Club (YLC) to start a "Diaper Drive" at this event. After the international journalists present, SIV will kick off the collection of new, disposable diapers and baby wipes to be used at the shelters for unwed mothers. The Diaper Drive supports the Young Leaders Club current community service projects.
