YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - What if you could learn how to make one of Korea's trademark foods and support a good cause at the same time? You can at the Kimchi Making for Charity event hosted by U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan, sponsored by LG Electronics, and organized by Child Fund-Korea and the Korean-Foreigners Friendship Cultural Society Nov. 21.

Volunteers are still needed for the event, which will begin at 10 a.m. and last until 2 p.m. at Lombardo Field.

"This is going to be a great event bringing together one of the biggest names in the electronics industry with our American community to help the less fortunate," said Garrison Community Relations Officer An Chang-sin. "In addition to making Kimchi, volunteers will be treated to traditional Korean foods and an entertainment performance."

An said that those interested in learning the Kimchi-making art need to sign up as soon as possible by calling the Garrison's Recreation Division Chief Eric Yim at 738-5254 or using the online sign-up roster here.

Executive Vice President of LG Electronics Kim Yong-kee will attend the event along with USAG-Yongsan Garrison Commander Col. Dave Hall, both of whom will thank volunteers at a ceremony marking the end of the event.
