    When: Friday, September 5th, 6:30pm - 9:00pm

    BAKAs is a virtual community of 1st and 2nd generation Korean American (KA) organizations. We are committed to bringing visibility and awareness to the diverse number of KA
    organizations in the Bay Area.

    The purpose of the wine tasting event is to allow members of the Bay Area KA public to learn about various organizations in the Bay Area. This gathering allows both organizations and individuals to network and learn about each other.

    Each year, about 10-15 KA non-profit and community organizations participate to help raise awareness for various causes and to foster involvement in the community through this event. Attendance has also been growing each year reaching our apex of over 400 attendees in 2007.

    UPDATE 2: Thanks to generous contributions, the first 300 guests will receive a gift certificate from Bottle Notes!!!

  • KASE Website Redesign Complete

    KASE Family and Friends,

    I’m pleased to announce the launch of our new kase.org website.  The website has a new logo and fresh look/feel.  It is also powered by Wordpress so that we can easily add new content.  I’ve always been a huge fan of Wordpress and I believe structuring the KASE site in this manner is more conducive to community participation.  I will personally update the site with the latest happenings within KASE but I will also use this as an outlet to blog about my experiences in personal and professional settings as they would relate to our members’ interests.  Our KASE Directors (Keibock, Brendon, and Perry) have agreed to also blog on this site, and from time to time I will invite outside guests to contribute as well.

    Special thanks to Hoa Nguyen for designing the site.

    Ben Mappen
    President, KASE
