PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, APRIL 13, 1984
TO BE ANNOUNCED IN ALL U.S. AND CANADIAN CHURCHES
ON EACH OF THE
FOLLOWING DATES: APRIL 28, MAY 5 & 12
Housing for the 1984 Feast of Tabernacles
By now you should have in your possession a copy of the
1984 FESTIVAL PLANNER.
(If you do not have one, see
your Festival Advisor after services.)
This publica­
tion lists all the housing approved for use by Church
members for the Feast of Tabernacles at both U.S. and
Canadian sites.
You may now make festival housing reservations for your
assigned site if you plan to attend there. If you plan
to transfer,you must wait to make reservations until
you receive transfer approval (about a week after
Pente·
cost). Please do not make reservations at more
than one site or at more than one establishment. And
remember to follow up with a deposit to confirm your
reservation.
The Festival Coordinators and their assistants have
spent a great deal of time and effort searching out
housing of acceptable quality and negotiating afford­
able rates for all of us. There is sufficient housing
at every site for the numbers expected to attend.
Remember to make your reservation only from the housing
listed in the FESTIVAL PLANNER. Read the article on
page one which explains why this policy must be closely
followed by all Church members. If you have difficulty
finding a suitable reservation from the hotels listed
in the FESTIVAL PLANNER, your Festival Advisor will
help you.

then decline to include that hotel on our list. We find it wiser
to move the Church's business to where the rates can be more
favorable.
In other cases, the rate might be attractive, but quality or ser­
vice is lacking. Rather than recommend a hotel which would later
cause problems, we choose to omit it from our list of recommended
housing. Some members might want to stay in establishments such
as these, but this would not be wise.
This does not always mean that every establishment listed has
superb quality and superior service at all times. But we are
striving to attain this for you.
