Appeal December 2003: Let's realize "the love" of the Christmas in our club life

Kano Yamamoto, Vice-President

We reached the season of the Christmas this year too. The Christmas is wonderful time when we thank and congratulate that the God sent his only child Jesus in the world to show how he love us and for the purpose that the human being loves each other. The Christmas present is the habitude which was born to partake of the love of the god.
The YMCA is the organization made each place in the world, for the purpose that the young people grow healthily, taking care of this love of God, shown in the Christmas. Then, the Y's men's club is the group of the pal who have the mind: we approve of the mission of the YMCA; deeping our friendship, we will make the tether of the people strong through the various service activities in the same heart of love; we will make the better society in our cooperation.
In the actual world, there may be various things which we feel difficult or with which we are angry. However the Christmas is the time which makes us think what is the most important thing and what is the starting point for the hope to live. I hope that our Tokyo club grows and becomes a club where we appreciate the love of the god once more; we become modest; to symbiose with the neighbor and the persons in the world, we catch it positively and we practice it pleasantly. I want to live looking the starting point, not beeing particular about small things, and having an ambition.
