WELCOME GLOBAL MINNESOTA FRIENDS!
글로벌 미네소타 친구들 환영합니다
On behalf of Global Minnesota’s Board of Directors and staff,
welcome to the Celebration of the Republic of Korea. Proceeds
from tonight’s gala — our largest fundraiser of the year —
support Global Minnesota’s ongoing educational and cultural
programs designed to help Minnesotans live, work, and lead
globally.
Many thanks to gala underwriters, patrons, and auction donors
for their generous contributions, which are critical to tonight’s
success.
We also wish to recognize individuals who have played
essential roles — Ben Jaffray and Hyon Kim for graciously
serving as Honorary Gala Co-Chairs; Muffy MacMillan for
hosting this event at her beautiful home; Gala Committee
Co-Chairs Kay Thomas and Bomi Yoon and their amazing
committee for their vision, commitment, and leadership; and
Thomas Kim of The Rabbit Hole, Sara Monick, and D’Amico
Catering for designing a creative sampling of contemporary
Korean cuisine.
Finally, we wish to extend a special thank you to the Consulate
General of the Republic of Korea in Chicago for their deep
support this evening and during our entire year-long focus on
South Korea. We are proud to call them our global partner.
Now, let’s enjoy a wonderful evening, raising funds for one
of our favorite and most deserving nonprofits — Global
Minnesota. And remember, bid early and often!
Let the fun begin!
Peter C. Hawthorne
Chair, Board of Directors

LIVE AUCTION (cont.)
3 . U N C O R K TH I S !
Lafite Rothschild has been the most sought-after wine in the world for
the past decade. Robert Parker gave this "the wine of the vintage
designation for 1988 and a prestigious 94 rating." This classic
expression of Lafite is deep in color with concentrated, brilliantly
focused flavors. Its tannins have now softened, leaving a wonderful
bouquet of cassis, cedar, raspberries, and dried fruits. Perfectly
stored in the cellar since its purchase in 1990, this wine is ready for
drinking or can be held for another 10 to 20 years -- if you can bear to
wait that long!
Donor: Sue and Bob Macdonald
