Ed,
Thanks for the reminder. KADA has been supporting this cause annually since
1999. Hopefully, we can continue this part of our organizational mission to
support next generation of needy colleague.
Count me in.

Subject: [kada] KASF Scholarship
Dear KADA Members,
As most of you know, I have been quite active with the Korean American
Scholarship Foundation (KASF) for the past 14 years. I serve as the Chair of
the Scholarship Selection Committee for our region. KASF is a needs based
national scholarship program that has been handing out scholarships to worthy
Korean-American students that are in financial need for the past 46 years.
This year, KASF will hand out over a $110,000 in scholarship money. Among the
recipients this year were three dental students. They were:
Jessica Liu – a freshman at University of Louisville School of Dentistry
Min Jung Kim – a freshman at University of Pennsylvania Dental School
Chris Kim – a sophomore at University of Pennsylvania Dental School
KASF will be holding their annual Awards Banquet on Sunday, September 22nd,
2013 to recognize and present the scholarships to this year’s recipients.
Chris Kim will be coming down from Philadelphia and will be in attendance. I
think it would be extra special if we could present Chris with a KADA
Scholarship which goes to the top dental student and have one of our KADA
members go on stage to present him with his award. The scholarship is for
$2,000. If KADA does not want to donate, Chris will receive one of the general
scholarships for KASF.
Since we do not have a lot of extra funds in our KADA account, I think it would
be better for 10 of us to donate $200 each to come up with the $2,000 for our
KADA designated scholarship that will be presented at the KASF Awards Banquet.
The checks are tax deductible and should be made out to KADA and given to
Maggie at our meeting this Friday or mailed to her office address. Maggie will
then cut one check to KASF in KADA’s name. Thanks for your consideration.
I’m in, who’s with me?
Ed
