-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In this hot summer weather please take care not to get heat stroke.
Let's avoid exposing ourselves to strong, direct sunlight
and make sure that we replenish our body fluids regularly.*
Let's also carefully monitor room temperatures and use our wisdom
so that this may be a victorious and healthy summer of progress for all of us!

* Certain areas of Japan have suddenly been hit by sudden surges in temperatures.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Resolve to win
good health,
for your precious life
is one of
great mission.

"Natalia Sats (1903–93), founder of the Moscow State Musical Theater for Children, once said with a smile: 'Having an ideal in life and striving for its realisation with all your heart keeps you young.'[1] This noted Russian artist had great admiration for the youthful spirit and energy of our women's division members.[2]

"Youth is a state of mind. Though we may grow old in years and our bodies age, our desire to strive for kosen-rufu will remain fresh and vital and never wane when we work together with our fellow members."
