Kizuna: Fiction for Japan

Over the weekend, I had the fortune to visit the Japan Red Cross office in Nagaoka (about an hour’s drive from where I live) at the Riverside Senshuu shopping mall. I spoke with the personnel there to see if I couldn’t get information on a direct deposit account via a US bank.

As the gentleman in the office had not a clue, he kindly called up the Niigata Prefectural head office for me, and I spoke with another gentleman who was impressed with our project. Unfortunately, he told me that JRC doesn’t have any accounts set up in the US, however, he said, JRC has successfully received funds from a number of big name Hollywood stars via the American Red Cross.

I thanked him for his time and promised him I would be in contact with the ARC to get the job done. While the money won’t go directly to the JRC, they will get it with no problems. So this is one more check on the list of finished items.
