Korean American Association (KAA)  presented their annual donation to Golden Age Foundation with $1,000. The KAA has been a consistent donor since 2015 when they formed their organization to foster Korean cultural activities. 

Since the Covid 19 hit, just about everyone in this community and country, it has been a very difficult to expect any donation from this community organization. 

Golden Age Foundation appreciates their generosity to support the special programs GAF has been doing since the pandemic to help shareholders who are in need.

The Korean American Association (KAA) of Leisure World Seal Beach welcomes all residents to participate in their 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 September 2020, over 450 residents with Korean ethnic background have registered as members.  

The KAA meets quarterly, in March, June, September and December, but due to Covid 19, the meetings have been cancelled and they are keeping in touch with members by monthly KAA newsletter, phone calls and emails. 

 For more information regarding KAA, call Won S. Ryu at (714) 982-7793.
