Dear Members,
Update: Members who wish to contribute towards costs for Mary's medical and funeral expenses, along with moving and support related costs for her mother and sister Evelyn, may do so through a GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-mary-corbett-and-family-expenses
The Club will hold a memorial event on January 10, 2025 for former Board Director Mary Corbett. A member since 1994, Mary was a tireless supporter of the Club over the years, holding positions on the Board and in multiple committees, as well as organizing and hosting many club and private events.
Mary was also a documentary filmmaker and writer, involved in public relations, and an alumna of Yokohama International School, where she was also an active member of the community, and a friend to anyone. She was always incredibly positive and constructive in any endeavor, and our organization greatly benefitted from her time in its service.
It was an honor to know and serve with Mary on behalf of the Club, and she absolutely made those around her better people. Please join us in tribute to the life of Mary on January 10, either in person or via Zoom.
This is a separate event from that being held on December 14 at the Yokohama Country & Athletic Club from 2pm. However, members and friends are welcome at both memorials to honor Mary.
Please make your reservation for the FCCJ as soon as possible at Reception, 03-3211-3161 or front@fccj.or.jp, so that staff can make appropriate preparations. The fee is 1,100 yen (including a light meal, one drink and tax). Non-members, including former members, can pay at the Reception for admission and additional drinks.
