The International Ladies' Benevolent Society is scheduling its 2006 Christmas Charity Fair on Nov. 11, from 10 to 2 at the Tokyo American Club. Entrance tickets cost 500 yen and can be purchased from any ILBS member beforehand or at the door.
Co-chairperson of this year's fair is Fumiko Tottori, who has the experience of having filled this position 15 years ago. Many years on the ILBS board, she has served as its historian and legal officer, and in 1988 was president.
Equable and popular, she has never sought leadership office and has always been persuaded to accept against her will. She dislikes being No. 1 in a group. "No. 2 is all right," she said.
