【東北関東大震災による災害のお見舞い/お知らせ】とGBCJクラスのお知らせ

【東北関東大震災による災害のお見舞い/お知らせ】とGBCJクラスのお知らせ

このたびの東北関東大震災により被災された皆さまに、心よりお見舞いを申し上げるとともに、一日も早い復興をお祈りいたします。
また、被災地にて支援活動にあたられている他国の方々共に自衛隊やボランティアの皆さまの努力に、心からお礼を申し上げます。

今後GBCJでも出来る事をしてゆきたいと思っています。
その際には、皆様のご協力を宜しくお願い申し上げます。

【EHMと三鷹市役所スポーツ振興課より】

・EHMより連絡があり「一応今月いっぱい様子みですが閉める事になりました。」
・学校は「何かあると行けないので今月一杯閉校します。」
との事でGBCJはクラスを行う施設がお休みの為今月一杯無理そうです。

また、本日3月18日に武蔵野市・三鷹市の計画停電がエリアより外されましたので先方より再度連絡が来ると思います。
新しい連絡が届き次第皆様へご連絡を致します。

まだ余震が続いていますが、皆さまがご無事で、一日も早く日常の生活に戻られることを、心よりお祈りしております。

ご迷惑おかけしていますがご理解頂きますようお願い申し上げます。
