EDEN ATHLETIC CLUB and the COMMUNITY

It’s Mochitsuki Time!!

Saturday, December 10

Eden Japanese Community Center

Mochi, or rice cake, is essential to the Oshogatsu or New Year's celebration. The pounding of steamed mochigome or sweet glutinous rice to make mochi is called Mochitsuki. In earlier times, both in Japan and within the Japanese-American community, friends and family would gather together to pound the

New Year's mochi. Mochitsuki is an all day event, which requires many hands, long hours, and physical labor, but it is also a time of fellowship and socializing. This is part of our community service for the benefit of the Issei and Nisei in our community, and we ask all of our members to participate in it.

The EAC Mochitsuki will be Saturday, December 10, 2016. Work shift forms were sent to your email box. If you cannot work your assigned shift, please make arrangements to trade with someone else as soon as possible and notify Aaron Corley of any changes at 562-787-2636 or aaronishere@yahoo.com. Your help and participation is rewarding and greatly appreciated!

Mochi orders are due by Dec. 4th. Please use the form on the next page.

Mochi will be provided in two- and three-pound packs. Since we will be producing approximately 1,000 pounds of mochi, we can accept orders no larger than 10 lbs. max per family and any additional mochi requests will be on our waiting list. This means that when our pre-orders have been filled, and there is extra mochi at the end of the day, you will receive a call that you may buy more. For reference, we can look up in our records how many pounds you purchased in the past – just call! Orders may be picked up at the Eden Japanese Community Center between 3:00pm – 6:00pm on Saturday, December 10th. If you’re unable to pick up the mochi on the day of the mochitsuki, the mochi will be frozen and arrangements can be made to pick up the mochi at a later date.

Get Your Fresh Mochi Here!!! Order your fresh mochi now! Saturday, December 10th 2016 is Mochitsuki Day!

Come join the Eden Athletic Club, in Association with the Eden Township

Community Center, for our annual new-year festival.

We’re looking for any Eden parents (Mom’s

season! If you are interested please

contact Laurie Lee at

laurie_lee1@yahoo.com

We need a Jam Chair! This season's Eden

Jamboree Chair is vacant and we want YOU

to be our chairperson!

Please immediately respond to your Team

Manager or any Board Member to Chair the

committee. It is important to fill the

Jamboree Chair, otherwise we are in

jeopardy of not hosting nor having a

Jamboree at all for Eden this season. This

will directly affect your players and the

EAC’s fundraising proceeds that subsidize

your membership!

December 23 is Japan’s Emperor’s Birthday

and is a National holiday in Japan. This is known as Tenno Tanjobi in Japanese. Emperor Akihito, Japan’s current Emperor, was born on December 23nd, 1933. The Imperial Palace is home to the Emperor of Japan who hosts a regular stream of diplomatic visits. The grounds of the Imperial Palace are normally closed to the public. The exceptions are December 23rd on the Emperor's Birthday and January 2nd for New Years. On these days the Imperial Family holds an open house including a public appearance on a balcony where you can Meet the Emperor.

December 25 - Merry Christmas !

Despite the overwhelming popularity of Christmas in Japan, it's not a public holiday unlike in the United States. Most Japanese people go to the office and work a full day on Christmas. There are plenty of people who wish the Emperor had been born two days later as The Emperor's Birthday is the biggest Christmas shopping day of the year for Japan. It's also a popular day to check out Tokyo's many Christmas Illuminations.

League Play Begins!

After months of hard work, the teams are ready to start the 2016-2017 season! League Play begins December 3 for most teams.

The EAC wishes all of our Eden Family a joyous Holiday season and Good Luck to ALL the hardworking players, coaches and managers!

In the interest of starting off the season smoothly, please familiarize yourselves with the following important rules and regulations:

The Home team wears white and the Visitor team wears blue. It is encouraged that any undershirts should be the same color or close to that of the jersey.

The Home team is responsible for reading the EBYAL Code of Conduct before each game and for time keeping. The reader can be a player or parent. Since the home team is also the timekeeper, you can ask them to sound the buzzer to get everyone’s attention. The Visitor team is responsible for score keeping at each game. D and C level teams are required to take on these roles and assignments are arranged by the team managers. Please talk to your team manager as soon as possible if you need training for time keeping and score keeping.

The East Bay Youth Athletic League (EBYAL) CODE OF CONDUCT:

The following statement is to be read by a representative of the home team at every division before the start of each game:

“Good afternoon/evening, and thank you for attending today’s/tonight’s game.

In the spirit of sportsmanship, the EBYAL would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to please refrain from directing any negative comments towards players, coaches, officials, and opposing team’s fans before, during, and after each game.

We appreciate and thank you for your cooperation in supporting the EBYAL.”

The EBYAL takes misconduct very seriously and will, if necessary, penalize teams with game suspension. The Eden Board may also impose penalties for such infractions as well. If you have any questions, please email the Eden Athletic Director, Tony Lee, at pref88@gmail.com.

The Code of Conduct can be referenced in the EBYAL Playing Rules along with the Score Sheet at the end of this newsletter. The complete 2016-2017 EBYAL & EBGAL Game Schedules are posted on the Eden Athletic Club website.
