EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!

Josh, the East Territory Young Men's Division leader, informed us tonight that there are still available spots open for the following activity groups:

YWD:
Fife and Drum Corps
Color Guard

YMD:
Athletics (Gymnastics)
Brass Band

YWD/YMD:
Chorus

What does this mean? First of all, for the youth in our zone currently on the standby list, they can immediately move themselves to the "confirmed" list by choosing one of the above groups!!! HOW AWESOME FOR THESE YOUTH!!!!!!! (2 YWD from Southeast Area automatically moved from standby to confirmed tonight because they had specified Color Guard as their activity group!!!)

Also, it means that the promotion window for these activity groups is, once again, OPEN-------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This means that we can go back to all of the youth that may have missed out on the opportunity to sign up before the 4/28 deadline!!! Of course, the territory could stop promotions at any time, so we have to encourage these youth to sign up for one of the above activity groups TODAY to ensure they have an opportunity to participate at the festival!

"Without young people, we will have no future. Such things as mentor and disciple, truth and justice, and vistory will be no more than empty phrases. We risk losing the precious struggle for kosen-rufu. Let's open the future by bringing many more young people into our movement." (-Daisaku Ikeda, originally published in the 3/31/06 WT, p. 3)


SOUTH ZONE, SOUTH ZONE, TOGETHER WITH SENSEI!
SOUTH ZONE, SOUTH ZONE, WE WILL LEAD THE WAY!

--TO MY FRIENDS--
A new history will begin in Kanagawa(*).
From its harbor brimming
with the vow of mentor and disciple,
I ask that you create a great solidarity
based on our shared struggle and
generate an extraordinary expansion
upholding the noble cause of justice.


(*)A prefecture located in the southern Kanto region of Honshu, Japan; its capital is Yokohama, a port city.
