FROM THE FIELD

By Jeanette Gottlieb

 

The countdown continues to the end of PCIA.  We will close our books on June 30th.  It is time to visit our web site and archive anything you want to keep or view our conference videos again.

  • The last issue of the KhabarNameh, the Khodahhafez issue, will be emailed in mid-June.

  • Our final Dooreh will be  May 13th.  The book is Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History, by Vali Nasr. Nasr will join us at 5 pm PDT.  Contact [email protected] to get the zoom link.

  • Marcia Franklin and Brad Hanson are working on a post-PCIA version of the Dooreh book club.  Please contact Marcia to add your name to the list [email protected].

  • The PCIA Facebook page will end in early June. Check out other RPCV groups on Facebook for connections.

  • Paul’s advocacy bulletin link. Paul plans to continue to host the Fourth Monday Iran discussion group. Contact him at [email protected] before June 30 if you wish to participate.

  • Meanwhile, the U.S. – Israeli war against Iran continues with ever changing rationale from our president. We should stay informed and inform others from our perspective as Iran volunteers. Do not fail to write your Senators and Representatives.
