Dear AWC community members,
It’s the end of January, and we’ve arrived at another round of New Year’s celebrations. I’d like to wish all of you a happy Year of the Snake. We hope that you will receive a lot of luck and blessings in the year ahead. 새해 복 많이 받으세요.
Ticket sales are drawing to a close for ❤️ LOVE, this year’s AWC Korea charity gala. Please reserve your seats or tables by Sat., Feb. 1! Our annual charity event brings together AWC members, friends and loved ones, business partners and charitable partners, for an evening of celebrating community and supporting local organizations.
Proceeds from ❤️ LOVE will go to support local philanthropic efforts and groups, including:
— Korea Legacy Committee (코리아레거시커미티) — Serving the elderly in need.
— Liberty in North Korea — Empowering North Korean refugees.
— Open Arms Korea — Educating Korean children living in welfare homes.
— Haesimwon (혜심원) — Serving orphans in need.
— Planting Love (사랑심기) — Advocating for and serving children with disabilities.
These organizations do incredibly valuable work for those in need, both in Seoul and beyond, and we are so blessed to have an opportunity to support them. I hope you’ll join us in giving back by enjoying an evening of dinner and dancing, raffle prizes and more. (see details below or RSVP at our website)
As we close out this month, I want to take a moment to recognize those facing difficulties, as tensions and tragedies have touched our communities both at home and abroad. These moments remind us of the importance of unity. I hope that, as we begin the Year of the Snake, we’ll all take a moment to reflect on how we can best serve those around us.
I look forward to connecting with you this month.
In community,
Betty Chung
