Message from Director General (Award ceremony for tax payment was held)

　
　On Friday, November 17, a commendation ceremony was held at the Aoba Ward Office for the Yokohama City Tax Encouragement Award and Mayor Aoba Award. This award is given to Aoba Ward who has made a contribution to raising awareness of payment of city taxes. On this day, Mr. Hideyuki Ishii, Deputy Chairman of the Youth Club of Midorima Tax Association, was commended, and I gave a certificate of commendation and souvenir.
　Mr. Ishii has been active as a central member of the Midorima Tax Association, which has been promoting and enlightening consumption tax, etc. since 2015.
　After the award ceremony, Mr. Toru Hirase, Chairman of the Midori Tax Association, also had a talk with him. . At the Midorima Tax Association, exchange events between members are being actively held, and tax slogans are recruited for elementary and junior high schools, and excellent works are commended. . I realized that these activities have fostered a healthy community of business operators and made children feel familiar and important, leading to the future development of Aoba Ward.
　I have just renewed my determination to work together for a better Aoba Ward.

December 2023 Takao Nakajima, Mayor of Aoba
