#1. Preface by Hodaka Kawahata, President of JpGU
(Available in Japanese)

#2. Give 3,000 JPY ($ 30) to JpGU
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of JpGU to thank all
of our members for their contribution.
As I mentioned in my previous message on JpGU Mailnews August Issue,
JpGU has been making efforts to be a certified organization in donation
taxation system. There are some requirements to be certified and one
of them is to have 100 contributions in a year.
Thanks to our members, we accomplished this goal!
Now our next step, in other word another requirement, is to have these
100 donations for 5 years, which makes our final goal of 500 donations
during this fiscal year. Summing up the donations we have received in
the past few years, we need more 259 contributions to reach this goal.
Thus, again I would like to ask for your kind support to give 3,000 JPY
(approx. $30) to JpGU.
Details on how to make a contribution are available at
https://www.jpgu.org/en/information/donation.html
or simply access to https://www.member-jpgu.org/jpgu/en/ with your
JpGU ID and proceed from “Donation” button on the left menu.
JpGU is now facing financial difficulties (I will explain this in my
next message), and we, the Finance Committee members, are trying our
best to make the situation better. I believe the support from our
members will help us a lot.
Thank you so much for reading this article. I greatly appreciate your
consideration of my request.
Masato Nakamura,
Finance Committee Chair
