and Deputy Consul General Naoshige Aoshima and his wife Fukino Aoshima for their extraordinary partnership with our community over the past three years.the Japanese Consulate didnt just support our work – they became true partners in it.

The consulates involvement has strengthened not just our programs.Sone provided frequent guest lectures promoting positive relationships between parents and their children.but the entire fabric of the Nikkei community here in the Southland.

and we eagerly look forward to building upon this legacy with the incoming consul general and continuing our vital collaboration in service of the broad Nikkei community.The foundation that Consul General Sone and his team have established sets a remarkable standard.
