The 27th Anniversary of YANGSANBAK Club


Last Saturday, 13th June 2009, a garden party was held to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the founding of "Yangsanbak" club which was started as an old high school classmates' association in 1982. We attended a same middle and high school for 6 years. (Dongsan Middle and High School located in old town Incheon.) I attended the same elementary school (Seogot) with one of my old friends in the club as well. The party took place at the parking lot, annexed to a commercial building for which I own, and opened around 5 o'clock in the afternoon and continued until 9 o'clock in the evening. The weather was pretty good, so sunny, breezy and comfortable day just before sunset that can accommodate a happy and pleasant outdoor barbeque party. One of the secret reasons why the club can be lasted and survived such a long period of time is that couples of hubby and wife should attend every gathering and furthermore wives have practically been playing more important roles in every aspects of the club, including accounting of the membership dues, etc. And our monthly gathering was set for the second weekend from the beginning, and not changed ever. That's probably another reason for the long-lasting friendly gatherings between and within our members.
