Welcome back! Liberty in North Korea at Georgia Tech kicked off the fall 2012 semester with it's first General meeting on Wednesday, September 5 at 6 pm in IC Room 217.

Thanks to all our wonderful LiNK officers and members for making our first year at Georgia Tech such a success! We celebrated a successful first year of the 1st Liberty in North Korea chapter at Georgia Tech on April 21, 2012 with a end-of-year banquet as a thank you to the passion and giving hearts of all our members and supporters. Special thank again to SANPC and Ms. Eun Choi for providing the food for our celebration and delivering a motivating message to our members. Also, we celebrated the graduation of our VP Internal, Sam Kim at our banquet.
In the 2011-2012 term, we raised $1,449.40 in donations. Our major advocacy events included the fall screening with approximately 80 attendees, the spring guest speaker event with Mr. Song-Byeok, which had about 250 attendees, and outreach to the Atlanta community through our booth at the Rice Festival at Stone mountain in October.  Our main fundraising events included our cookie fundraiser at the fall screening and cake-pop fundraiser in February.
See you in the fall for our 2012-2013 school-year for more updates on GT LiNK! :)
