Korean American Association makes donation to GAF
The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) invites LWers turning 100 years old or older in 2022 to sign up to receive a gift and a special lunch delivered to their home by a GAF volunteer on April 20 between 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
The presence of centenarians in the community are one of the many things that make Leisure World a great place to live. The GAF wants to acknowledge their special life achievement by providing a special lunch for them and a friend or family member, along with a gift bag and a smile.
Each gift bag holds a Centenarian Certificate issued by the City of Seal Beach, a bouquet of flowers and a $25 gift card from Sprouts donated by the City of Seal Beach.
The Korean American Association (KAA) donation of $750 will provide $25 gift cards to Hof ’s Hut to each centenarians gift bag.
Leisure World Korean Community Church also donated to the centenarian gift bag with $25 gift cards to Ralphs in addition to the Sprouts gift card from the City of Seal Beach.
The special lunch for two will be donated by the GAF.
Additionally, the GAF has been working with centenarians’ family members to gather stories that cover more than 100 years of history and unique life stories to share with neighbors and friends in the LW Weekly.
Those who would like to be a sponsor for the centenarian event or would like to sign a centenarian up to receive the gift bag, can contact GAF president Anna Derby (562) 301-5339 by Thursday, March 31.
The KAA has supported the GAF through annual contributions.
