総会
5月と云えばゴールデンウイークと総会。小生も御多分に漏れず、総会ラッシュ。先週火・水曜と2日続けて、東京で業界団体の総会があり、出席。
一つは「全国調査業協同組合連合会」、一つは「NPO法人全国調査業協会連合会」。
どういう訳か、両総会共に議長を務める事となった。大体が、一年一度の通常総会というのは形式的で、シャンシャン総会となるのが普通である。しかし、議長となると、それなりの緊張感はある。
結果は何れも予定通りのスムーズな議事進行で、総会は無事終了。その足で直ぐに新幹線にて帰途についた。
肩の荷をおろし、ビール片手に車窓に流れる風景を眺めていると、突然、見事な富士山が顔を見せた。前回の東京出張時は、春霞の少しボーっとした富士山であったが、今回は雨上がりの、それはそれは清々しい富士山であった。思わずパチリ！！。
「晴れてよし、曇りてもよし不二（富士）の山」（これは中村天風先生の句である）。私が座右の銘とする、「虚心平気」、天風会の「積極心」を詠った句である。
実は昨日も総会。ところが、昨日の総会はうって変わって、緊張感など全くなし。ただただ楽しい総会であった。そう、知る人ぞ知る、かの有名な「近畿國賀会」の代４９回総会である。
我が故郷、西ノ島町（隠岐諸島）の出身者で組織する郷土会で、田舎からは町長、町議会議長、区長会会長などのそうそうたるメンバーの出席を得て、飲めや歌えの大騒ぎ。一次会が終われば二次会、二次会が終われば三次会、何時はてることやらと云う楽しい会である。しかし、寄る年波には勝てぬと云うか、小生は二次会でダウン、愛する妻が待つ家路にとあいなったが、二次会の会場を出るや、直ぐにタクシーを捕まえ、北新地に向かった猛者も多数いた。
May means the Golden Week and the General Assembly. As I’m sure you know, I’m also in the rush for the general meeting. I attended the general meeting of an industry association in Tokyo last Tuesday and Wednesday, two days in a row.
One is the National Federation of Survey Industry Cooperatives, and the other is the National Federation of Survey Industry Associations.
For some reason, I had to chair both meetings. Generally speaking, the annual general meeting is a formality and usually becomes a shanshan meeting. However, when it comes to the chairmanship, there is a certain amount of tension.
The results of the meeting went smoothly as planned. I went home by Shinkansen immediately on that foot.
As I put the burden on my shoulders and gazed out the window with a beer in hand, I suddenly saw the splendid Mt. On my last business trip to Tokyo, Mt. Fuji was a bit of a haze in the spring, but this time it was a refreshing Mt. A quick peek!
It’s good to be sunny, it’s good to be cloudy, it’s good to be Fuji.” (This is a poem by Tenpou Nakamura) It is a poem that expresses my personal motto, “I am at peace with my mind,” and the “positive mind” of the Tenpukai.
As a matter of fact, yesterday was also a general meeting. However, yesterday’s general meeting was completely different and there was no sense of tension at all. It was a very enjoyable general meeting. Yes, it was the 49th general meeting of the famous “Kinki Kokuga Kai”.
It was a hometown meeting organized by people from my hometown, Nishinoshima Town (Oki Islands), with many members from the countryside, including the town mayor, the chairman of the town council, and the president of the ward mayor’s association, in attendance, and we had a great time drinking and singing. When the first party is over, the second party is over, and when the second party is over, the third party is over. As soon as I left the venue of the after-party, I caught a taxi and headed for Kitashinchi.
