On behalf of CBAA Board of Directors, I would like to call for donations to help the disaster victims and to assist the speedy recovery of the disaster affected areas. The message below is from the Japan-America Society of Georgia regarding the relief efforts and the donation to the “Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund”.

Dear Friends:
As you are undoubtedly aware, on Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:46 pm Japan Standard Time, an estimated magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred offshore in the Sanriku region of Miyagi Prefecture in Japan. Waves of tsunami of up to more than 7 meters swept cities and villages of the Tohoku region off the Pacific Ocean, causing devastating human as well as physical damages.
This is the largest scale earthquake to occur in recorded Japanese history and the tsunami has caused total devastation in the city of Sendai and other areas in the Tohoku region. As of March 13th, the number of those deceased and unaccounted for was more than 10,000. The Japan-America Society of Georgia extends its heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences to the people of Japan who have been affected by Friday’s earthquake and tsunami. We know your prayers and thoughts are also with the people of Japan at this time of tragedy.
We ask that, in the spirit of peace, joy and charity, you please join us in making a contribution to help support the people in Japan who need our assistance more than ever. No contribution is too small, and we can assure you that 100% of your tax-deductible donation will go directly to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. Donations can be made on-line at www.jasgeorgia.org/eng/node/178 or if you would like to mail a check, please make checks payable to the JASG and mark “Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund” on the memo line.
While JASG activities and programming will proceed as planned, we are currently making plans for specific projects to support relief efforts in Japan and will be making announcements with more details soon.
On behalf of the Society’s Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, we thank you for your contributions and for all of the heartfelt emails, phone calls, and kind messages of condolence. Your words are comforting, and we appreciate very much your support during this difficult time.
Kindest Regards,
Sachi Koto, Chairperson
