We will report this fall event (Part 1) Recreation Tournament (December 4, 2024)

　Until October, the climate was like summer, but the season seems to be running from autumn to winter. By the way, this autumn, when I proceeded with such a rush, I was invited to many events in various regions and participated. .　

　This year, recreation competitions (large athletic meet) were held in 10 districts. With the cooperation of junior high school volunteers, it was held grandly in each district. .
　In each district, programs have been devised so that various generations can participate, and I wanted to challenge the “vegetable packing” competition held in the Hongo district if I had time. In addition, I was surprised at the competition packed with ideas in each district, such as raising awareness of disaster prevention, such as a program to actually compete using equipment from the disaster prevention warehouse used in the event of a disaster. I think it was a wonderful autumn day from the little child's serious "race race" to the time when seniors can participate and enjoy.

　In addition, instead of holding a recreation tournament alone, various challenges were made, such as changing the method to hold it in conjunction with the "Activity to Brighten Society". .
　In some districts, we have heard that the weather has changed suddenly on the way and the schedule has been shortened. In addition, it seems that there were some areas where participants were difficult to gather and had a hard time.
　In the region, there are not many opportunities for different generations to enjoy face-to-face together. As a ward, we will firmly think about how to expand local "connections" and what kind of support is needed to continue local activities.
　I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the efforts of the local officers.
