Work toward the 1979 Feast of Tabernacles is rapidly going ahead. The Feast Office plans to get the first run of housing confirmations in the mail by early next week, with 80-90 percent of applications prepared for the first confirmation run.

Mr. Sherwin McMichael met with Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong Friday, August 10 to discuss many facets of the Festival, including the solidifying of Mr. Armstrong's personal appearance schedule at several of the U.S. sites this year. Mr. Armstrong will announce his schedule in a letter to the ministry in a future Pastor General's Report.

Mr. Armstrong and Mr. McMichael also discussed the ministerial speaking schedule, which Mr. Armstrong reviewed for the second time. Mr. McMichael says ministers will be notified soon on their duties. Mr. McMichael added that the schedule is once again designed to spread the speaking opportunities to more Church pastors during this year's Feast of Tabernacles.

PLEASE ANNOUNCE

Please do not send any applications to the Festival Office, either in Tucson or Pasadena, after September 10. Any new members who have not sent in an application by that time should go to the Housing Office when they arrive at their assigned site.

For those who find they are unable to attend the Feast and must cancel their reservations, the deposit refund deadline is September 5. All requests for refunds must be postmarked by that date or within 10 days of the date printed on the housing confirmation.

Even if you are no longer eligible for a refund, please do let the Festival Office know if you will not be attending so these rooms can be reassigned to others. See your festival adviser for the proper form (Reservation Action Request). This form and your confirmation slip should be mailed to: Worldwide Convention Service, 300 W. Green St., Pasadena, CA 91123.

Remember, most of the Housing Officers must be at their site by the Day of Atonement in order to get all necessary pre-Feast work done. Any correspondence received too late cannot be acted upon. So please notify the Festival Office as early as possible about any change of plans.
