Korean American Association presents annual GAF donation

The Korean American Association of Leisure World Seal Beach (KAA) presented its annual donation to the Golden Age Foundation (GAF) of $1,000. The KAA has been a consistent donor since 2016, when it was formed to foster Korean cultural activities. Since COVID impacted everyone in LW, especially clubs, annual donations decreased, and the GAF did not expect many donations from community organizations. The KAA is one of a few clubs consistently contributing. The GAF appreciates KAA’s generosity in supporting the special programs the GAF organized during the pandemic.

The KAA consists of about 2,500 Korean American residents. Its purpose is to share information and fellowship, and to create and foster Korean cultural activities and volunteer service. The KAA welcomes all residents to participate in its activities.

The KAA meets quarterly in March, June, September and December on the second Thursdays. The KAA stays connected with members through its monthly newsletter and weekly news on YouTube, in addition to phone calls and emails.

The KAA will host Korean Night on Saturday, Aug. 16, in the Amphitheater. An annual event, the 90-minute show features the various talents of KAA members.

The GAF is a nonprofi t 501(c)(3) organization established in 1973 to enhance the quality of Leisure World life. Over the years, through the support of volunteers, individuals and organizations, the GAF has organized and implemented many programs that have benefited the community at no cost to shareholders.
