NEW DONOR GROWTH UP In the first four months of this fiscal year
we added 15,401 new donors to our files, which was twice as many
compared to a year
·
ago. These new donors also have given more than
three times last year's contributions by new donors during the same
time period! Although this present new donor picture seems encour-
aging, mostly as a result of vigorous PT renewals and Subscriber
Development involvment letters, there is a need for continuous growth
in the mailing list in order to continue the upward trend.
Real Jesus Book: As the surrnnary mentioned last week -- and the
previous weeks before that -- the letter from Mr. Ted Armstrong
offering The Real Jesus book to the members has brought in an all­
time high response. Final figures have now been tabulated and the
response stands at 23,860 -- or 63.5% of member households.
Mail count: Through the end of November we have received 1,738,499
letters and 467,656 WATS calls for the year.

SPECIAL TV PRESENTATION FOR CONFERENCE The Media Division is pre­
paring a special presentation for the upcoming ministerial conference
which will consist of segments from Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's first
TV broadcast in 1956, Mr. Garner Ted Annstrong's very first black
and white broadcast in 1967, and the first color videotaped broadcast
in 1968. I think you will find it really inspiring to see the
contrast and progress made during the first ten years of half-hour
TV broadcasting by G.T.A.
During the morning of January 9th both the Radio and TV studios will
be open for tours .
.
We plan on having technical personnel standing
by to demonstrate how the broadcast �s made and how the complex
equipment is used and operated. An .actual editing session is planned
for that morning on one of the programs to illustrate the methods used
in producing the final product. We hope all of you will be able to
stop by and see the operation.
