We are the Korean Veterans of Central FL including Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties and The Villages. Our goal is to organize veterans who served in any branch of the U.S. Military during the Korean War and those who served in Korea anytime after the war to date (Korea Defense Service Veterans). Please join us at one of our monthly meetings.
No KWVA Meeting Tuesday, Aug 24th
It appears that the COVID-19 Delta variant doesn’t care if you have been vaccinated or not. While you may avoid hospitalization or even death, the number of new case transmissions is higher than Feb 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic! Because of the increased risk to our older member population, we have CANCELLED our general meeting on Tuesday, August 24th at the Saddlebrook Recreation Center and will re-evaluate the Sept 28th meeting at a later date. It has been very difficult to entice members to attend meeting since we reinstated them in June. Prior to the pandemic, we outgrew our room with over 100+ attendees. This past June and July, less than 24 members showed up.
