Seoul YWCA Newsletter, conveying various stories of people, has been accomplished by people’s effort and devotion. In celebration of the 500th volume, we had interviews with the contributors to the newsletter, from a founding assistant administrator to a volunteer leader who has worked for the longest time.
‣ Shin, Hee-Woon
Founding Assistant Administrator, Department of PR & Publication (1965-1976)
- Memorable Event
“Almost everything was done by hand back then. Whenever a newspaper or a Christmas newsletter was published, all the staff gathered, folded the paper, and colored the pictures of Santa Claus. It was laborious but still remains in my memory.”
- Celebration and Aspiration
“Vol. 500! It calls for a celebration. However, Seoul YWCA Newsletter should not only raise its competitiveness in various mediums but also listen to the criticisms from its members and other people. I hope that Seoul Y makes programs that interact with society and deliver them through the newsletter and website.”
‣ Cho, Nam-Jin
Former Committee Member, Department of PR & Publication, Seoul Y Correspondent (1985-2004)
- Memorable Event
“At that time Y had young spirit and was ahead of any other organizations. The consumer movement was awesome. I remember that I unrolled a roll of toilet paper and measured the length, in order to write an article about toilet paper.”
‣ Chung, JI-Won
Former Assistant Administrator, Department of PR & Publication (1995-1996, 1999-2002)
- Memorable Moment
“I was always busy making a newsletter. I worked overtime at night, even on holidays. I was deeply moved by my coworkers’ notes with consolation and encouragement.”
‣ Kim, Nam-Soon
Current Committee Member, Department of PR & Publication (1992-2010)
- Celebration and Aspiration“I am so happy to share the publication of the vol.500. I hope it becomes a newsletter that is read by the Seoul Y members as well as the readers outside the association. I also hope it lasts forever as a refreshing and substantial newsletter.”
