Korean American Association donates to the GAF
GAF
Korean American Association of Leisure World Seal Beach (KAA) presented its annual donation to Golden Age Foundation (GAF) of $1,000. The KAA has been consistent a donor since 2016 when it formed the organization to foster Korean cultural activities. With COVID impacting everyone in LW and the U.S., the GAF was not expecting many donations from community organizations this year.
The GAF appreciates KAA’s generosity in supporting the special programs the GAF organized during the pandemic.
The KAA welcomes all residents to participate in its activities. The purpose of the KAA is to promote fellowship, create and foster Korean cultural activities, promote the principles of good citizenship, and encourage community services. The KAA was established in May 2016. As of December 2021, it counts over 750 residents with Korean backgrounds as members.
The KAA meets quarterly, in March, June, September and December but due to COVID- 19, the meetings have been cancelled. The KAA stays connected with members through its monthly newsletter in addition to phone calls and emails.
After a two-year hiatus, the KAA group had an annual meeting to celebrate its five-year anniversary.
