vcjacl book club information
Join us - JACL members, guests and friends - on the 4th Thursday of the month for our Zoom book club meeting for some light-hearted book discussions with a great group of people. Please email [email protected] for the Zoom link.
On June 27 at 7:00 p.m. the book club will discuss Iced In Paradise by Naomi Hirahara. It is set on Kaua’i. One reviewer wrote that it is the next best thing to actually going to Hawai’i. The sleuth is young, smart, outspoken, and sometimes cranky. The book is said to immerse readers in the charms and quirks of small-town Hawaiian life.

Work in Progress Screening of Manzanar: Diverted
July 7, 2018
Please join us for the work-in-progress screening of Manzanar, Diverted: a documentary film, by Ann Kaneko about this wartime concentration camp in the Owens Valley. This film expands the story of Manzanar to reveal how water is at the heart of the experiences of Japanese Americans, Native Americans, farmers and ranchers, who contested the more powerful U.S. Army and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for control of this land. The filmmaker will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
