Negi explained the plan of the All Japan Speech Contest based on the
meeting
held in Hiroshima with the explanation of benefits to our club. He
put a
stress on the points of the traffic convenience and price benefit,
adding the
explanation of the inconvenience of TM Takimoto that she should
find other
club in case of the rejection of our club. Many opinions were
stated from the
floor. As the attendance fell below the quorum, it was
decided that President
would explain more through e-mail later and would
decide by a majority
vote.

***************************
Thought for the day TM
Murata
Recently I was annoyed with my umbrellas. I have 2 ones, but both
of
them were broken. Yes. We had some windy days. They crashed my
umbrellas.
Strong winds are inconvenient for us. But on the other hands,
they are
also helpful. Long years ago, all ships were moved by them. And now,
we
can get electric power from them. Withstanding winds is painful,
but
riding on them works well.
I think it is same to English. We have
some English tasks. It's tough
job to withstand English. But we can enjoy
them.
Let's enjoy the todayfs meeting, and ride on the very strong
winds!
