Head of self governing

The self governing is active in the country side. So is in this village. My village has 11 families. And they are divided in to 8 groups, according to the area. So one group includes　10 to 15 families. I belong to 8th group. Each group has a yearly head.
I visited a head of 8th group. He used be a high school teacher who used to be in charge of the baseball club in the certain public high school to Koshien tournament. As known Koshien tournament is almost filled with private school.
I visited him to tell my leaving plan for showing my respect to him. He welcome me and his wife made a dinner.
