KIZUNA means “bond,” tie, or strong connection and relationship in Japanese. Purpose of Establishment

Kizuna Japanese Society was established in 2011 by open-minded volunteers to create a network of the Japanese and Japanese-American seniors in the Las Vegas area to provide mutual assistance of for one another. Volunteers visit at Adult Day Care Center twice a month performing singing and dancing to entertain the people at the center. (Fun exercise!)
Japanese calligraphy classes are offered twice a month, and craft classes are held once a month. Open to the public. Let’s have fun! Annual Kizuna Japanese Spring Festival is on the first Saturday of every April. The purpose of the festival is to provide Japanese cultural experience to the public. We work together with other local groups in Las Vegas. Our social gatherings are bi-monthly luncheons at local restaurants, BBQ in May, anniversary party in October, Xmas party, and New Year party, and various functions! Yard Sale is our fundraising+social event.

≪法律を知って、幸せなケッコン、悔いのないリコン！
アメリカで結婚したら知っておくべきこと第2弾 ≫
Community Property Laws (共有財産法)をテーマに法律講座を開催します。

裁判所の通訳としてアメリカ人と結婚した日本人女性の様々な離婚裁判に立ち会う度に思う事は、「日本女性よ、法律を知って強くなれ！」です。私の知る限りでは離婚の際、泣くのはほとんどが女性側。そしてそこに共通するのは「結婚前に貯めた自分の貯金や、親御さんが娘への贈与として頭金を出し買った家が、離婚時に相手方に持って行かれる」というケースです。法律を理解し、事前に手を打っておけば防げたのにと思うと、本当に悔しいです。どうやってこれを防ぐか、家族法専門の弁護士Marilyn Caston 氏にお話しをお伺いします。

講師：Nevada Family Law Group( ネバダ家族法グループ )
弁護士Marilyn Caston 氏
