(Apologies to Monterey for the late posting. Please note that each chapter can post its own events here, or send them to me and I will try to post immediately. -- Roger Eaton, NorCal Communications VP. rogerweaton@gmail.com)
The Monterey Bay Chapter of the United Nations Association of the USA presents a very special community program:
A world in Turmoil: the role of the UN and the US, with Congressman Sam Farr
Wednesday October 8, at 7:00PM,
Irvine Auditorium of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, 499 Pierce Street, Monterey.
This event will be a living room style conversation with our Congressman Sam Farr , local UNA Leaders & the Audience. It will focus exclusively on International Affairs, not local topics. This is a great chance to ask a member of Congress about his position on the many international crisis points of the moment from the situation with ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Israel and Gaza, Afghanistan, the spread of Ebola, refugees from violence in Central America at our border, to Climate Change and the current state of collaboration between the US and the UN as two main forces to find solutions to the turmoil and help the suffering. You can actually already turn in questions for the program on the UNA Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/unamontereybay
This is a ‘Membership-Raising” event for the UNA Monterey Bay Chapter. So bring friends and family. Everybody who joins UNA will be recognized. Become a member like Congressman Sam Farr, a longtime member of the chapter and a former MIIS student and Peace Corps Volunteer.
