-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
To our united
men's and young men's
division members,
let's hold discussion meetings*
filled with vitality!
Each one of us is equally
Each one of us is equally
a protagonist.
Working side by side
Working side by side
with our sun-like
women's division members,
let's advance together
let's advance together
as wise men
towards a successful May 3rd!
* In Japan this month, the new women's division is holding local general meetings in place of the monthly discussion meeting so the young men's and men's division are using this as an opportunity to have joint discussion meetings of their divisions!
