Honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

As Lieutenant Governor of this prefecture, it is a special pleasure to join you for the official launch of its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign here.

As this is the first time for you to kick off the campaign with a "drive-thru to donate" event, we can only hope that … like the better-known fast food drive-thrus … millions will be served by the proceeds from the its kettles around the world. Seeing volunteers out in the community with Christmas Kettles is synonymous with Christmas and the sprit of giving  "Sharing is Caring."  bringing joy to others.

While so many things in the world around us have changed over the years, the essence of the kettle has not changed. It stands as a symbol of people’s faith and generosity.

With the help of all residents, we can ensure that those in need can enjoy a brighter Christmas.

I wish much success to you with this year’s Christmas Kettle Campaign.

Thank you and God bless
