A month has already passed in the new fiscal year. We will continue to share brief updates on Residentsf Association activities through this Neighborhood Bulletin. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

1.    The general meeting of the Neighborhood Section for Reiwa 7 was held on Sunday, April 6, at 10:00 a.m. in the plaza in front of the East Community Center, attended by the new neighborhood leaders (on duty this year). We confirmed the assignments regarding distribution of Himeji City newsletters, collection of association and fire prevention fees, Red Cross donations, Red Feather year-end charity donations, bulky waste duty, and participation in the Wednesday child safety patrol (around 2:30 p.m. at school dismissal time).
We look forward to everyonefs support over the coming year.

2.    As usual, the Red Cross donation campaign will take place from Sunday, April 27, to Friday, May 23. Neighborhood leaders will collect 500 yen per household. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Neighborhood leaders, please bring the collected donations to the Central Community Center during the newsletter distribution days on Saturday, May 24, or Sunday, May 25.

3.    As in past years, on Friday, April 25, from 8:30 a.m., five locations (Otoshi Shrine [East], Gosha Shrine, Myoken Shrine [West], Dainichi, and the triangular park in the South District) had their cherry trees sprayed by the Himeji City Environmental Beautification Department.
Although there may be concern about caterpillars after the blossoms, this treatment should prevent issues.

4.    The Agricultural Division will carry out cleaning of the agricultural water channels.
Landowners are asked to participate at the designated locations, which will be communicated by the respective coordinators.
