Appeal July 2007: Light up a corner

Tetsugoro Nakamura, President

I expect that the club members shine individually in their post, the Tokyo Club shine brightly doing his best to perform his activities as a club and the brightness shines widely on the whole Y's men. With the theme "light up a corner", I decide to develop the activities of this year.
The first activity is the reinforcement of connection and collaboration with the YMCA. We want to grow its connection and collaboration participating positively in the volunteer activity that the Tokyo YMCA develops this year: the Edo Castle Family Walk that we condider our main activity since the past, the support of the YMCA International Charity Run, etc. The second activity is the support of the Youth of Tokyo Club: to support them to grow up in the both sides of human and thing; to promote the "Tokyo Youth Club" certificated by the Y's Men International on the base of the "Youth of Tokyo Club". We want to make effort in it as our main goal.
As the MC, we take care of the member reinforcement firstly. The member is the basis of the activity. We have 35 members today. The aging moves ahead every year. We have the subject of rejuvenation since several years. Our important subject of this year to become the club of 40 members. Secondly, we take care of the fullness of the club regular meeting. The regular meeting is the place of the mutual friendship of the members and also the learning as the continuing education. There is an opinion that it is too honest and too formal. I want to aim at the pleasant regular meeting considering this point.
