Hello Everybody - please find attached the invitation to the "Unity Within Diversity" event next Saturday, May 31st at 4:00 pm at the Vancouver Public Library.

It promises to be a special event.  In particular, we are happy that Major Harjit Sajjan who spent eight months in Afghanistan and Peggy Lee who was with the Women's Ambulance Corps during WWII will be fielding questions.  We will also see a short video clip of the late Douglas Jung, WWII Veteran and Canada's first Chinese Member of Parliament.

During the reception, there will be ample opportunity to meet and mingle with Asian Veterans of many heritages.   We will also have on display the Display Panel of Chinese Canadian contribution to WWII and there will be the Western Canadian premiere display of the Japanese Diversity Panel.

The ever-able "Fiddlers on the Roof" string quartet will entertain us and light refreshments from the "Lazy Gourmet, " voted BEST CATERER FOR 2007 AND 2008  will be served.

An RSVP is not required but if you are coming, let us know.

Look forward to seeing you there.
