"Despite the harsh winter, we can hear the footsteps of spring approaching. I would like to thank you all for taking the time to attend this General Meeting despite your busy schedules.
Today, I would like to proceed with the general meeting while receiving your constructive opinions regarding the business budget and financial statements for fiscal 1994, and next year's business plan and budget.

3. Guest speeches
Yoshiki Tanaka, Superintendent of the Hokuryu Town Board of Education

"Hello everyone. My name is Yoshiki Tanaka and I was appointed Superintendent of the Board of Education on January 1st of this year.
First, let me introduce myself a little.
I lived in Hokuryu from the time I was born until I graduated from high school. My mother also lived most of her life in Hokuryu until she passed away in 2006. At the same time, my older sister, who is 10 years older than me, also spent most of her life in Hokuryu.
It is a great honor for my family to be able to give a congratulatory speech in front of such great seniors. In particular, I would like to express my sincere respect for the 30th anniversary of the Park Golf Association and the wonderful years that have passed since then.
"I hope that everyone will continue to stay healthy and take care of themselves so that the park golf course will be lively when spring comes. Congratulations to all of you today," said Superintendent Tanaka.
(NPO) NPO Himawari, Representative: Mitsuyuki Koshida (CEO, Shiomi Construction Co., Ltd.)

"Good afternoon, everyone. Congratulations on today's Park Golf Association General Meeting and the 30th anniversary.
I am from Mashike Town, and my mother turned 100 years old on April 14th this year and is still in good health.
On a different note, regarding the request made by Fujinobu-san, he requested a week off, or one day off per week. We made a quick decision in response to everyone's requests.
"We have decided to take a break from work on the park golf course once a week, but thanks to Mr. Kitajima's generosity, we will continue to operate the reception desk as usual. Thank you for your continued support," said President Koshida.

4. Chairman selection: Katsuzo Ito, Chairman
I would like to ask Chairman Ito to chair the meeting.

"According to the regulations, the role of chairman has always been someone other than an officer, but it has been difficult to select someone to serve as chairman every year. Therefore, we are proposing to amend the regulations this year so that the chairman of the general meeting will serve as chairman, so we ask for your understanding," said Chairman Ito.
