Due to this revision, the service we could provide at the registration
counter will be limited as described below at the 2019 meeting.
[Service at the 2019 Registration Counter]

>> Please bring your own device if not able to make a prior registration
or do not have the printed e-ticket. The table, power outlet and wired
LAN are provided.

#5. OTOSHIDAMA to JpGU!
Masato Nakamura, Finance Committee
Happy New Year, everyone. I wish you all the best in your research
this year.
Well, on New Year’s Day, I think we have all given wonderful presents
to children, nieces and nephews. That’s right. This is New Year’s gifts
of money (OTOSHIDAMA in Japanese). I think it’s a very wonderful
Japanese culture.
Doesn’t this story make you feel like giving another OTOSHIDAMA to
JpGU? I guarantee you will be immersed in fresh feeling on the new
year.
We have been requesting the 3000 yen donation since last year and
our goal is 500 people donations by the end of March 2019. Now we
expect another 140 in this three months to achieve the goal.
We are really almost reaching the goal. Once this is achieved, JpGU
will be able to move on to a very favorable tax position for accepting
donations. Now that the Heisei era is over, I would like to ask you
all to help the advance of JpGU.
The donations are used for financial support to encourage young
people to participate in the JpGU meetings. This is the wish of the
finance committee chairman at the end of this fiscal year.
PLEASE GIVE JpGU 3000 YEN!!
