Several members of the Dallas Korean Trade Association(DKTA) visited the Korean Senior Citizen Association of Dallas(KSCAD) Saturday March 17 and served up lunch.
KSCAD holds monthly meeting every third Saturday of each month. Various groups and organizations within the Korean-American community take turns in serving lunch to the seniors.
DKTA volunteered for the month of March and brought lunch boxes from Sura Korean Bistro.

“Dallas Korean Trade Association not only strives to serve its members but it also takes pride in community engagement” said Smith, in front of about 40 Korean-American seniors at the meeting.
“On behalf of all DKTA members, I want to thank KSCAD for the opportunity to serve senior members of the Korean-American community” Smith added.
