Chairman's Message

Chairman:
Hokuryu-cho Council of Social Welfare
Takeshi Yamamoto, Chairman

We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the citizens of the town for their understanding, cooperation and support for the operation and business activities of the Council of Social Welfare.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Hokuryu-cho Council of Social Welfare held on June 25, 2021 (by written resolution), a new election of officers was held, and I was elected as the new President, succeeding former President Hitoshi Takebayashi. Although I do not have the skills or the capacity, I am determined to fulfill the responsibilities of this position with your cooperation, even though it may be in a small way.

Since last year, the new strain of coronavirus has had a major impact on our daily lives, work, and events in the town, not only in Japan, but also in the rest of the world. In Hokuryu Town, vaccinations began in May, but it remains to be seen when the coronavirus outbreak will be resolved.

In light of this, the Council of Social Welfare will continue to promote its daily activities while taking measures against the spread of infectious diseases and preventive measures in its various projects and operations.

With the aging of the population, the role of the Council of Social Welfare is becoming more and more important, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask for the guidance and encouragement of the citizens of this town in order to carry on the achievements and foundation that have been cultivated to date, and for all related organizations and CSW officials and staff to work together to overcome this difficult situation. I look forward to your continued support.
