[15th] The Red Feather Community Fund started on October 1st. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

　The fundraising period for the Red Feather Community Fund has begun.
　On October 1, the first day of the period, members of the Aoba Ward Consumer Affairs Committee Children's Committee (Minjikyo) and welfare and health organizations raised funds at each station in the ward.
　In order to express our gratitude and appreciation for these activities, together with Chairman Kojima of the Aoba Ward Children's Committee and Chairman Toriyao of the Aoba Ward Branch of the Community Chest of Japan, I and the General Manager of Health and Welfare Center visited the place of activity.
　Many inhabitants of the ward, from children to the elderly, donated to the loud voice of everyone raising funds at each station.
　I would like to express my sincere respect for the efforts of all those involved in the fund-raising activities, and thank all those who donated.
　Also this year, in collaboration with the community fundraising and Yocco18, a life-size panel featuring the character Aoba Yamauchi with the motif of Aoba Ward appeared. Many people were interested in the venue where they appeared and received donations.
　Last year, the entire Aoba Ward Branch received a donation of 34,748,386 yen, and this year, under the theme of "creating a society that is free to connect," warm support from residents will be used for various community welfare activities.
　We look forward to your continued support and cooperation in the future.

October 2024 Takao Nakajima, Mayor of Aoba
