Dear Honorable Uchida Yasuhiro,
Lauren Kleiman
Council Members
I hope this letter finds you well. it is with great appreciation and a deep sense of
Michelle Barto
Noah Blom
respect that I write to express my gratitude for the thoughtful and generous gift of
Robyn Grant
the Misoroku Taiko drum, which was presented to me today. Your gesture is truly
Sara J. Weber
meaningful, and it will be treasured as a symbol of our shared friendship and the
Erik Kenneth Weigand
enduring bond between our cities.
Though circumstances beyond our control prevented us from meeting in person as
initially planned, I remain hopeful that our paths will cross soon. The wildfires that
affected our region were a challenging situation, but we are grateful for the
continued support and understanding from friends like you. Your kindness during
these trying times has been a great comfort to me and to our community.
In the spirit of our exchange, I am sending along a photograph of one of the most
famous surf spots here in Newport Beach, The Wedge. It is a place that holds deep
cultural and historical significance for our beach community, and I hope that this
small token will convey the beauty and spirit of our city. While it may not fully
capture the essence of our city, it is my sincerest wish that it will offer you a glimpse
of the beauty and power of nature that our people hold dear.
Once again, I express my heartfelt thanks for your thoughtful gift. I eagerly anticipate
the opportunity to meet with you in the future, and I look forward to continuing our
friendship, fostering deeper ties, and sharing in the mutual benefits of our
collaboration.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is ever anything I can do for you.
With warmest regards and best wishes,

Sincerely,
Joe Stapleton
