[the speach of Mr. Toshiro Takeuchi]
In the guest speach: "A Time for Action!", Mr. Toshiro Takeuchi told the history, including the formation and the circumference situation, of the Atami YMCA which acquired the corporate status of NPO last year, and joined to the Japan YMCA Union formally this year. He described the establishment of the Atami Y's Mens Club in 1963; the episode of the 20th convention of the Japan Region in 1965 and the 51th international convention in 1975; the actions of a lot of Y's men which had not been recorded; the flow from the Atami Fund to the Japan-East Fund; his expectations to the Tokyo Club which is supporting the Tokyo YMCA. Next, he said in one breath about the present activity of the Atami YMCA supported by the 10 clubs of Mt. Fuji District; the establishment and the present situation of the Atami Glory Club; lastly, the semi-joining of the Atami YMCA to the Japan YMCA Union in the time of its establishment and its present and future.
After the Bangladesh Fund and the Smile Fund, we practiced "the hands of one person", which we would sing in the Convention of the Toshin District, by the guide of Mr. Kuroiwa and Ms. Isoda. Next, after the pleasant auction by Mr. Takahashi and the song of the YMCA, the closing chime of the President Mr. Tanaka finished the meeting.
(After that, we did a friendship meeting with Mr. Toshiro Takeuchi in another place. )
