Thank you for completing the project commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Seya Ward System

　Seya Ward was separated from Totsuka Ward in October 1969, and on October 1, 2019, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of a new era. Seya Ward is a city rich in water and greenery, rich in nature, and has developed backed by warm local communities. This is also the result of the wisdom and efforts of our predecessors, and I will once again express my deep respect.
　With regard to the Seya Ward in the future, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the constituency system, all inhabitants of the ward, from children to adults, participated, and in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary, we received the understanding of the people concerned, and in March 2018, the Seya Ward 50th Anniversary Commemorative Project Executive Committee was launched to carry out commemorative projects. In the commemorative project, with the theme of “Connecting”, “Connecting” for everyone, and “Connecting” for tomorrow, in addition to events organized by the Executive Committee, publishing commemorative magazines, producing Seyamaru Monuments, etc., 12 districts and local organizations participated in various events, and thanks to the participation, cooperation and sponsorship of many people, we were able to successfully implement the event as a memorable one. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for your understanding and support.

　Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread around the world, and on April 7, 2020, a state of emergency was declared from the government to seven prefectures, including Kanagawa Prefecture, and the target area was expanded nationwide on the 16th. Was. Anxiety spreads among the inhabitants, and the impact on the economy is enormous. We strongly hope that the government and the government will respond appropriately, including financial support, in order to prevent the spread of infection and stabilize and secure the lives of the people and citizens.
　On the other hand, our daily lives in the community are no one, and the security of the community must be built and protected by our own hands. To that end, it is important that each and every one of the residents first take thorough preventive measures in response to the current situation and work to prevent the spread of infection in order to protect themselves and their precious families and communities. .
　However, unfortunately, it has been pointed out among the people that there is no need for consideration of human rights to infected people, including the Internet and SNS. In addition, it is necessary to avoid spread of anxiety and close contact between people, especially the isolation of the elderly and people with disabilities, the healthy development and support of children, and the impact on mental and physical health. I am.
　Now is the time when it is necessary to correctly understand information, watch over the area, and feel close to each other, and the power of the area is being questioned. It is important to work on what we can do, such as giving feelings to family, friends and acquaintances, and neighbors, saying a word, calling out, and paying attention to slight changes. And after the infection situation has subsided, it is essential to take our own efforts to revitalize the region, including the recovery of the local economy.
　The commemorative project catchphrase "Both memories and the future in Seya" states, "There are people who can live together, grow up together, and talk about dreams." There are people who help each other and watch over. Life in this city is filled with the feeling of being warm to people. Seya Ward, as a warm city for people, will work together to overcome these difficulties and pass on the power of our region to the next generation?

　Finally, the Executive Committee has completed its role now, but I wish you all the best wishes for the next 50 years of thanks to our predecessors and hope for the future through the commemorative project, and wish you all the health of our residents and the further development of our city, Seya Ward.
