Thanksgiving Dinner By Chairman John Lee
Republicans Abroad-Korea had its third annual
Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, November 17th, 2007.
About
35 people were on hand this year (a slight increase from
about 30 last year and roughly 25 in 2005). We all had a
good time and enjoyed a real American feast together,
despite being half-a-world away from our homeland.Our
guest speaker this year was
Lee Dong-bok, a professor, fellow at the
Center for Strategic and
International Studies
and former National Assemblyman. He gave an interested
message on US-Korean relations and the aftermath of the
recent summit between Kim Jong-il and Roh Moo-hyun.Thanks
to Bob Gilbert for procuring the food, George
Geddes for organizing the dinner and RAK Chairman
John Lee for getting our guest speaker. Special thanks
go to Michael Maddox and his staff at the USO canteen
for their assistance in making this year's dinner a success.
We
conducted a straw poll at the end of the dinner. Added by a
contingent from the Soeul Ron Paul meeting group, the Texas
Congressman won handily. The results: Ron Paul, 13; Rudy
Giuliani, 6; Mike Huckabee, 1; Mitt Romney, 1; Fred
Thompson,1. Mc Cain also got one vote from our Korean
guests- at this year’s dinner, we also had guests from
Canada, Mongolia and New Zealand.
