Steve Reberto had one of those defining moments with his son who is a freshman at High Point University in NC.  Steve had always heard that even when kids are away at school, they do call home to get advice.  Steve's son made such a call.  However, the advise that was being sought was on whether Steve liked the design of the tattoo that he wanted to get.

Craig Buhrendorf who was wearing a Yankee's hat, talked about their plans to go to the FL Keys for their anniversary.  Plans that were canceled by the destruction from a devastating hurricane.  They went to North Carolina instead where the process started that led them to buy a second home there.  This year they are celebrating their 28 anniversary and decided not to go to they keys but to go to their home on Lake Norman instead.  Craig will miss next Friday but will be back the following week to either tip his hat to Red Sox fans or gloat.

Kyung Pak
 
 
Ms. Pak who was wearing a beautiful traditional Korean Gown spoke to the club on behalf of the Korean Spirit & Culture Promotion Project (KSCPP) which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the promotion of
greater awareness and understanding of Korean history and culture.  The presentation consisted of two films.  The first video was about the 1,300 year old Sacred Bell of King Songdok, "the ringing of this bell is heard with the mind and not the ears alone -
a fusion of art and science from Korea's ancient past."   The second video showcased Korea Today which has established itself, after the destruction of the Korean War into an economic powerhouse with an educated population and a high standard of living.  More information and previews of the videos can be found at http://www.kscpp.net/default/index.php.
