The Virtual Japan Spring Market started today and there are many vendors selling Japanese items. One of them is a teashop Matsu Kaze. They have a variety of Yame-cha for those who like tea from Fukuoka prefecture. You can access the website here: https://matsukazetea.com/
Can you believe it’s already March? If it wasn’t for the pandemic we would be holding our AGM and Social very soon. Unfortunately we cannot hold it but we have been working hard to send out a gift to our paid members. If you were a paid member for 2018 and/ 2019, you will have received a Toronto Fukuoka Kenjinkai 40th anniversary mask. A big thank you goes out to our board members who made this possible. There are a few people we were not able to get a hold of to get their address so if you did not receive one, please let us know. Hope everyone is staying safe. The board will continue to meet to plan more fun things for our members.
お久しぶりです。もう3月ですね。いつもならそろそろ年次総会と親睦会の季節ですが、残念ながらコロナで開催できません。それでも役員はミーティングとかをしにネットで会っています。それは２０１８年、または２０１９年に会費を払ってるメンバーの皆様にプレゼントを送るためでした。もうトロント福岡県人会の40周年記念のマスクが届いているはずですが、連絡が取れないメンバーとかもいましたので住所がわからない人が何人かいます。もしメンバーでマスクをもらってない人が入れば連絡してください。これからも役員はミーティングを続け、また楽しめるものを送る予定です。
Happy New Year! Hope you have all been well!
Make sure you know the dos and don’ts when dealing with Covid-19 in the city of Toronto. You can read about mandatory masks, physical distancing, etc. at the toronto.ca website. Don’t forget your mask when going outside your house. Stay home and stay safe so we can all meet again when the Toronto Fukuoka Kenjinkai events start up again.
トロント市のコロナにかからない為に知っておくことを英語でtoronto.caのウェブサイトで読みましょう。できるだけ自宅にいましょう。そして外に出るときは必ずマスクをつけましょう。そうすればまたトロント福岡県人会のイベントがまたできるようになったらみんなと会えます。
Did you know Yoshimasa Takakura, a kimono shop owner in Fukuoka, launched a project to produce kimonos that represent countries around the world? Artisans in Japan were encouraged to create these designs which he hopes will be used at the opening of the Tokyo Olympics by the placard bearers.
