　In this summer, the World Field and Track Event was held in Osaka, and wonderful
sports and impression were given to us. RIFA activities were taken up in an September issues of the public news "Ritto" at the time. Although we are not able to perform as wonderful fights as shown in the World Field and Track Event, we should be able to link up the hearts through daily life in the local community.
Let try to flower multiple cultures in Ritto.
