The concert was tremendous success!

Dear Readers,  

   

On behalf of A Place of Hope Asia, I want to thank you involved in our Japan Relief Concert on September 3^rd.  The event was tremendous success; we raised more than $4,000 for the two local schools, Kesennuma Elementary School and Utatsu Junior High School in Miyagi, Japan.

     

We are fortunate to live in a place like Texas, and please know how much you’ve helped the students and how much we all appreciate it. Please allow us a time to inform the final result of the fund raising.

    

 Thank you again from all of us.

皆様へ

この度はコンサートにお越し頂き、ありがとうございました。

お蔭様で大成功を収めることができました。

当日は約１６０名の方々に演奏をお楽しみに頂き、およそ４，０００ドルの寄付金を集めることができました。

ボランティアの皆様を始め、Cornerstone Baptist Church のBobby& Susan牧師夫妻、教会職員Rickさん、演奏者の皆さん、その他コンサートのために働いてくださった方々、本当にありがとうございました。皆さんの力添えがなければ、このコンサートは実現しなかったと思います。

寄付金の最終報告までもう少しお待ちください。

重ねて、御礼申し上げます。
