"Hello everyone. My name is Yoshiki Tanaka and I was appointed as the Superintendent of the Board of Education on January 1st of this year.

First, let me introduce myself a little.
I lived in Hokuryu Town from the time I was born until I graduated from high school. My mother also spent most of her life in Hokuryu Town 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 Town.

My family and I are extremely honored to be able to give a congratulatory speech in front of such distinguished seniors, and I would especially like to express my sincere respect for the truly wonderful years that have passed since the Park Golf Association's 30th anniversary.

"I hope that everyone will continue to stay healthy and take care of themselves so that the park golf course will be lively and vibrant come spring. Congratulations to all who participated today," said Superintendent Tanaka.

"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 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 have made a decision in a hurry based on the requests from everyone.

"We have decided to take one day off per week from work at the park golf course, but thanks to Kitajima's kindness, we will continue to operate reception as usual. We appreciate your continued support," said President Koshida.

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