 Sep. 14, 2012 Source: Novus International news release Novus International, Inc. was a major sponsor of a golf tournament to benefit the St. Louis Japanese Language School. The outing was held on Wednesday, September 5 at the Pevely Farms Golf Club. The annual event is organized and hosted by the Japan America Society of St. Louis. The annual benefit golf tournament began in 1998 as a way to help support the St. Louis Japanese Language School, a non-profit organization that focuses on teaching Japanese children Japanese, math, culture, history and geography. The school's curriculum follows guidelines specified by the Japanese Ministry of Education and Science. The school is particularly important for Japanese business professionals and medical researchers who have children, as it helps ensure their children will not fall behind in their schooling when they return to Japan. The school's existence is very important for the Japanese companies who have opened or are considering opening operations in the St. Louis area. "We appreciate the generosity and overall support from Novus," stated Yoshiaki Shibusawa, Director and Chairman Emeritus, Japan America Society of St. Louis. "Without the tremendous help we receive from Novus International, the golf tournament would not be successful." This year's golf benefit boasted a record attendance, with 20 foursomes (80 players) participating. Organizers anticipate being able to donate more than $4,000 to the St. Louis Japanese Language School. Through 2011, proceeds from the benefit golf tournament have enabled the Japan America Society of St. Louis to donate $52,300 to the school.

"It is a pleasure to continue Novus's longstanding support for this fundraising event benefiting the Japanese Language School for children in cooperation with the Japan America Society of St. Louis," said Jim Gerardot, member of the board of directors and Executive Director of Global Marketing at Novus. "Children are the future and supporting education should always be a top priority for our community stakeholders." For more information visit www.novusint.com About Novus International, Inc.
