17.Thanks to Chairman Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations

30 years Commendation Chairman Ishii and Chairman of the Baba Union Neighborhood Association

　In March every year, as a leader of local residents, Izumi Ward holds an award ceremony for long-term employment in Neighborhood Association to express its gratitude to all those who have contributed to the promotion of local communities over many years. This year, a total of 14 people were eligible, including one person who served as chairman of the town of Neighborhood Association for 30 years, one person in 15 years, and seven people who received a letter of appreciation for the mayor of Neighborhood Association for Director General for 5 years. However, due to the extension of declaration of a state of emergency, the award ceremony for inviting the winners was canceled, and instead we visited the winners' homes and handed them directly.
　While meeting each of the award winners directly and listening to the story, I was able to hear about the activities and difficulties so far. . In particular, during the past year, Neighborhood Associations's activities continued to remain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I heard that it was really difficult. In such a situation, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your dedication to everyone who has lived for a long time. Thank you very much.
　I would also like to thank Mr. Neighborhood Associations Neighborhood Association, who was not eligible for this award, and I was rude in writing this year because I couldn't do that. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again. Thank you very much.
　We will continue to support the activities of Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations to be more fulfilling and smooth.
　Thank you very much.
