A
Announcements
I
would
like
to
say
that
a
few
hours
ago,
two
o'clock
this
afternoon,
we
broke
ground
on
the
first
residents
to
be
rebuilt
in
the
glenview
fire
area,
Bob
and
Nancy
hensel.
It
was
exciting,
cold
windy,
but
nevertheless
very
exciting,
because
this
is
the
start
of
the
physical
rebuild.
So
we
have
a
long
way
to
go,
but
this
is
definitely
a
month.
So
congratulations
to
Bob
and
Nancy
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
San
Bruno.
Let's
see
we
also
have
a
letter
from
our
sister
city
narita.
A
We
wrote
them
after
they
had
their
terrible
disaster
and
it's
really
not
very
long.
All
I'll
read
it
to
you.
Dear
mayoral,
Wayne
were
deeply
moved
to
receive
the
paper
cranes
folded
by
the
citizens
of
San
Bruno,
with
their
wish
for
our
earliest
recovery
from
the
great
earthquake.
I
greatly
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
of
the
citizens
of
San
Bruno
towards
the
people
of
Japan.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
heart
warming
letter
of
sympathy
from
the
sister
city
committees,
which
has
encouraged
just
a
lot.
A
It
has
been
almost
one
month
since
the
great
earthquake
hit
Japan.
Fortunately,
the
people
of
narrator
were
not
affected
too
much,
so
we
have
mostly
been
able
to
go
about
our
lives
as
normal.
However,
North
East
Japan
many
people
who
lost
their
houses
in
the
great
earthquake
and
the
tsunami
are
still
in
evacuation.
Centers,
temporary
accommodations
for
the
people
effectively
great
earthquake
are
being
constructed
and
the
people
who
are
responsible
for
stopping
the
radiation
leakage
are
working
very
hard
to
solve
the
problem.
A
However,
there
are
still
some
serious
concerns
left,
such
as
the
radioactive
contamination
and
repeated
aftershocks.
Furthermore,
I
thought
the
shortage
of
electric
power
might
affect
the
students
homestay
this
summer.
It
is
truly
disappointing
for
us
that
the
annual
summer
visit
from
San
burner
was
cancelled
this
summer,
but
I
understand
that
the
suspending
of
the
program
would
be
an
appropriate
decision.
Considering
the
circumstances.
At
this
moment,
the
safety
of
the
students
is
the
first
priority,
so
in
the
rita
agrees
with
San
Bruno's
decision.
A
It
is
truly
regrettable
that
the
student
exchange
program
between
our
cities
has
been
suspended.
This
year
after
we
just
celebrated
the
20th
anniversary
of
Sister
Cities
ties
to
strengthen
our
longtime
friendship.
I
believe
believe
that
we
will
be
able
to
overcome
these
ordeals
and
to
be
able
to
deepen
our
friendship
even
more
in
the
future.
Although
it
will
take
a
long
time
for
everything
to
be
fully
reconstructed
in
Japan,
we
can
unite
to
create
a
brighter
future.
A
We
very
much
appreciate
your
continued
support
and
assistance
to
narita
in
closing
I
hope
for
the
continued
success
of
Marouane,
his
staff
and
those
who
have
been
involved
in
both
cities,
sisty
sister
city
relationship,
I'll.
Do
my
utmost
effort
to
resume
the
annual
march
visit
from
Narita
at
san
bruno
next
March
I
and
the
people
of
Narita
are
grateful
for
your
efforts
to
collect
donations
on
our
behalf
sincerely
mayor
koizumi.
So
it's
very
nice
letter
and
we
we
wrote
that
a
nice
letter
to
him
and
they
responded
very
nice
to
our
disaster
eight
months
ago.
