march madness for aka + t-shirts
I apologize for being so behind on the updates. We've had a lot going on this month, actually.
A few weeks ago Rachel and Amy helped Dr. Sook Wilkinson out with her annual Tok Guk Party in Southfield. This was an opportunity for families with children adopted from Korea to get together and enjoy some facets of Korean culture. Rachel and Amy played yoot, a traditional game, with some of the kids, who seemed to enjoy a more liberal interpretation of the rules. The food was excellent as well.
Another opportunity for public outreach came soon after, thanks to a member of our group, Stephanie More, who is currently interning at Catholic Social Services. She asked if any of us were willing to participate in a Q&A session with adoptive and prospective adoptive parents. In the end, only Amy and I were both willing and able to go, but we were easily able to fill up the time. (I always joke about the narcissistic trait among adoptees - we love to talk about ourselves, don't we?) The questions from the audience were interesting and focused mostly on childhood adaptation.
Then we had our third Noraebang Night, this time without dinner. Board attendance was low but there were no shortage of singers. Actually, it seems some people had a little too much time on the mic, which became a little of an issue. But all in all, it was fun - can Noraebang be anything else?
And votes are in on designs for the official AKA shirts!
