20th Annual MPAK Christmas Celebration
RECENT EVENTS
The 2nd Annual MPAK Korean Cutural Event Held on Saturday, February 29, 2020
MPAK held its first of the year event 'MPAK Korean Cultural Event' at the Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles, on Saturday, February 29, 2020. The event was sponsored by the Overseas Korea Foundation (OKF).
Many adoptive families came and enjoyed the beautiful dances performed by the Ji Miok Dance Company, and the families participated in the Korean cultural origami art craft.
We were honored by the presence of the Hon. Kim Wan Jung, the LA Korean Consul General and his wife Hejin Park.
There was also a puppet show based on an old folklore story, which was very well performed and enjoyed by the attendees.
The event was climaxed by a sumptuous buffet lunch at the Yongsusan Restaurant in Koreatown. It was right after this event the COVID-19 pandemic took off fast globally.
MPAK sincerely thanks the Overseas Korea Foundation (OKF) for sponsoring this event.
