To friends in Kentucky, Illinoi, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas States.
We in Japan have watched through media, devastating disasters brought by tornadoes last month. Members of America-Japan societies around Japan would like to extend helping hands to those affected in the area. We received around 6 million yen from our members nearly a half of which is from Bourbon Corporation a cookie company in Japan. Although this amount would cover only a small potion of the amount needed, we hope it would be accepted as a token of our friendship. Our thoughts are with you. We all pray for the swift recovery.
I am writing this on behalf of America-Japan societies in Japan.
