1983 Festival Housing Arrangements
Even though the Feast of Tabernacles is still weeks away, much
planning for next year's Festival has already taken place. One
critical factor is housing. Because of the following reasons, we
are requesting that all members wait until next spring when the
Feast Edition of the WORLDWIDE NEWS comes out to make housing
resPrvations for 1983.
1. The sites are not yet firm. Almost any site in the
U.S. and Canada could be changed.
2. We have no way to guarantee that all transfers will be
approved.
3. All housing at each site must be negotiated by the
Festival Coordinator between now and next year.
Negotiating for better prices is impossible if avail
able housing is already partially filled by members.
4. Finally, those transferring to popular sites such as
St. Petersburg and booking their housing early, make it
much more difficult for those assigned to the site to
find housing.
So again, you should wait until the spring Feast Edition of the
WORLDWIDE NEWS comes out to make your 1983 Festival housing
arrangements for the U.S. and Canada. Your cooperation in this
area will help make a better Feast for everyone!
Second Tithe Assistance (U.S. Pastors}
We have received a record number of requests for 2T assistance so far this
year. The amount of assistance being requested is more than 50% greater
than what we were able to distribute last year. This has required us to
utilize all of the budgeted funds for those in the primary recipient cate
gories; therefore, we will not be able to help those in the secondary recip
ient categories--the recently baptized and prospective members. Also, we
will have to be more conservative with the amounts distributed.
Any
