***  PRESENTATION ABOUT RECENT TRIP TO VIET NAM ***

The  ALASKA PEACE CENTER invites you 

Wednesday, October 29
POTLUCK: 6pmAK

at the Alaska Peace Center office:
in the College Mall, above the Fuji Steakhouse,

Fairbanks AK

and via Zoom:
Meeting ID: 829 7793 7690

Alan Batten will share photos from his trip to Viet Nam last April. For most of the trip he was a run-of-the-mill tourist, but even a tourist gets to see interesting things and meet interesting people. That would include the man on the bus who delivered a 20-minute rant about Donald Trump’s tariff policy. 

At the end of the trip Alan joined a Veterans For Peace group in Ho Chi Minh City who had been invited to view the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of the country. Reunification Day, April 30, is a holiday in Viet Nam every year, but the Vietnamese pulled out all the stops for a huge celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary.
