In celebration of its second anniversary, the Korean American Foundation, Hawaii held a fund-raising golf tournament and a dinner banquet on January 13, 2006 at the Honolulu Country Club.  The Foundation supports Koreans in Hawaii by sponsoring important community projects such as the Centennial Monument at Pawaa Park, the Korean House at Waipahu Cultural Garden Park and Puuiki Cemetery in Waialua.  At this year's banquet, Foundation President Peter Kim announced that the Foundation has recently secured funding to expand the Korean Care Home facility in Liliha -- another major accomplishment.

Korean actor Lee Jeong Gil (who played the President of South Korea in Lovers in Prague and whose name is also written Lee Jung Gil) participated in the golf tournament and attended the dinner banquet.  He was very gracious in accommodating requests for autographs and photos.
