[Speaker] Higashiyamato Rotary Club

I had the opportunity to give a lecture at the annual district conference, where all members of the Rotary Clubs in the Tokyo District gather. I was told that many local leaders from Rotary Clubs across Japan attend this conference, and since then, I’ve been receiving invitations from Rotary Clubs in various regions.

So, even though it was online, I gave a talk at the Higashiyamato Rotary Club today (*^^*)
