brethren west of this line should come to Squaw Valley. Those east
of the line should go to Gladewater. There should be very few
exceptions! This is important to aid us in making proper
arrangements for the Feast at each location. If any of you feel it
is really important that you go to Gladewater instead of Squaw
Valley because of an important family problem with relatives there
or some other similar situation, then contact your local pastor to
get his O.K. or write to us here at Headquarters about it.
Also, Mr. Harold Jackson, our Negro elder, has requested
that all of you Negro brethren who can make it go to Gladewater as
usual in order that the special social activities and spiritual
fellowship among the colored brethren not be divided. You will
certainly be most welcome at Squaw Valley, but for the above
reasons, please go to Gladewater if you can.
Now, brethren, I would like to go into detail about the
available facilities at Squaw Valley.
First of all, let me explain that the housing facilities
at Squaw Valley proper are going to accommodate a maximum of
approximately twelve hundred people. The first of these that I
will mention are the three large dormitory buildings that were
constructed to house the contestants for the huge Olympic Games
that were held there in the winter of 1960. These three large
dormitory type buildings each contains seventy-five rooms and each
room housed four persons during the Olympic Games. The rooms are
approximately 12 x 14. Each contains a double bed and a single
bed, a closet, a dressing table and chairs. Each room faces the
outside and has adequate window space. Very adequate bathroom
facilities are available on each floor for men and women. There
are separate and private dressing rooms for the women in the
women's restroom facilities. These facilities are very adequate
and should be comfortable under every circumstance. These Olympic
Village rooms will rent for $8.00 per night---adequately
accommodating a family of three or four persons.
Also available will be the large Squaw Valley Inn. The
Squaw Valley Inn contain fifty-five rooms. These rooms are
comparable to the very finest motels and are very high quality in
every way. These large rooms will be available at $13.50 per
night---accommodating families of from two to five persons.
Adequate blankets and linen changes will be available in
both the Olympic Village rooms and in the Squaw Valley Inn. It
will not be necessary to bring blankets or linen for those
reserving these fine accommodations.
Now, I would like to describe the dining facilities that
will be available for those staying both at the Olympic Village and
at the Squaw Valley Inn. The large Olympic Village cafeteria will
be serving three meals daily feeding up to two thousand persons
each meal. A trained and qualified staff of kitchen employees
will be preparing wholesome and delicious meals according to our
own menu and specifications. These meals will be of a quality and
of a type such as we have had at the Tabernacle in Texas over the
years. As you all know, the meals at Gladewater have been offered
