*What is Calgary Korean Health Advocacy Society (CKHAS) and what are our goals as a non-profit organization?
Calgary Korean Health Advocacy Society (CKHAS) is a non-profit organization established in November of 2015 by the people who successfully held the 1st Calgary Korean Health Fair (CKHF) in 2015.

*Inheriting the goals of the 1st CKHF, the goals of CKHAS are:

*What is an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and why was I invited?

An annual general meeting (AGM) is a meeting of the general membership of an organization. Normally at this meeting, organizations inform members of previous and future activities, accounts, review activities from the past year and it is also time to answer any questions regarding directions that will take in the future.

You were invited because either you have volunteered with us at any of our past health fairs, or have expressed interests in joining in as a member to our organization. You will have a chance to hear about what we have done as an organization in the past year, what is in planning and also time to ask questions about our visions and objectives. You will also have a chance to join as a general member of CKHAS if you are interested.
We will have light snack available for people to network after the AGM.
