The phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day" was the first thought I had in my mind
when I accepted the next presidency of our great Jingolhoe when Chairman,
Mr. Li Chun-li sunbaenim called again last Wednesday, 10/9/2013 after my
usual Wednesday golf.
But,
Frankly speaking, I made my mind up to be the next, if there is no one
is willing to be the next to Mr. Son Young-chul hoobae.
The reason was we can't our Jingolhoe drifting away like many other Korean
American organizations in our community disappeared after they announced
their birth.
How many times I saw since I got interested in our community?
Numerous times - no doubt about it.
I don't want to go into details further more because it will take some time to
write about those occasions and I am as Busy as you're, who Excused your
self in the past, time and time,
- "Doing Nothing, but Complaining behind the Scene".
To make my acceptance story short, I'll propose followings before I end
my story;
Proposals;
1. Please, all the Members of Board remain as you are devoting for our
Jingolhoe.
2. Please, Sr. VP/ VP/ and Secretary General - (3 of you) remain as you're
devoting as you have been.
3. From next season, how about Every Other Month Outing, rather than
Every Month, or Spring/ Summer/ Early Fall /and Late Fall Outing - 4
Outings/ Year and Last Outing -> "Away Outing to Upstate NY" for Autumn
Foliages. The other 3 Outings will be at the Emerson as our Home Course.
As I said in the beginning,
"Rome Wasn't Built in A Day"
and Let's Move Forward Together, my friends,
to build a memorable Golf Club, 'Open to Anyone' that wants to join us
- "To Help Build Our Hometown in America".
For that,
We just need 3 Ps
- "Patience, Persistence, and Perseverance".
God bless you, my Jingolhoe members, and have a nice weekend.
I figured, from the beginning, that its Bang Junjae to be the next president of Jingolhoe.
Eliminating long story in between, I could blew a sigh when I heard from you over Cell. phone;
"Because we can't let so much of our enthusiasm and devotion vanished,
I will accept your proposal and will do my best to lead Jingolhoe serve for its
purposes and accomplish."
After I announced your acceptance, I found, that was every member's
expectation. And they praised me did a good job, too.
For your 2014 plan, I believe its good with non of my objection, except, that
agenda can be discussed after your formal inauguration in the year 2014 and
selection of staffs and board members of your choices are completed as per
the Bylaw of Jingolhoe.
We will cooperate with your initiatives..
I always admire your passion and enthusiasm you have had showed
for our alumni association - and now for Jingolhoe for it's smooth
running and meaningful progress to the future.
The proposals I wrote above were - Only Proposals, nothing but
proposals I thought, sunbaenim, so that every member of our
Jingolhoe can have a chance to think beforehand.
I accepted the next Presidency, not to Command, but to Serve
for the well-being of our future. I have been through many
organizations, as you know, in the past. I now know how to
Position myself a little bit - and it will help guide me in the
future - regarding what to do with our Jingolhoe's future.
And
Let me make Clear to all, in the future, Participation of our
Golf Outing
- is For Your Well-being, Physically and Mentally, for sure.
It's Up to You,
whether you join us, or not.
Nobody can Force You,
Nor Shall I Beg of Your Participation.
I shall be just there For You
- preparing for our outings.
That's it
- no more, no less
- but, in the Spirit of "Dong-haeng";
At the Award Ceremony after yesterday's Golf Tounament,
when I said "I would be in charge of Jingolhoe from 2014",
they looked surprised.
And I noticed their facial expression showing "Another hoejang"?
- kind of look, and my explanation followed.
"You tell me what would you do, if you don't have anyone
to succeed after establishing an organization?", I asked.
By the way,
lots of my friend knew Mr. Choi Yoon-seung, Esq, Masan H.S,
our board member. They praised him a lot.
I am very proud of him and glad he is one of us.
For Our Members of Jingolhoe,
I'll Sing - For You,
- Our "Man-nam, Our In-yeon';
