PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, December 27, 1979

FUTURE FESTIVAL SITES
We are currently working on festival site selection for 1980. Mr.
Herbert Armstrong has approved the concept of selecting a sufficient
number of sites to reduce excessive driving. We will be working toward
limiting the driving distance to festival sites to approximately 300
miles. There may be some exceptions but we are striving to achieve this
due to problems with fuel availability and spiraling costs.
Our expansion of sites for 1980 will probably be rather limited. However,
if you have any recommendations for festival sites for the future, please
submit any literature on convention facilities available in your area.

YEAR END RECEIPTS
Year-end receipts for 1979 will be mailed the latter
part of January. We will be mailing a separate receipt
for Herbert W. Armstrong donations, a separate receipt
for Worldwide Church of God donations, and a separate
receipt for Ambassador College donations. These re­
ceipts should arrive in your mailbox within approxi­
mately two weeks of each other.
The total of these
separate receipts added together will show the amount
you gave the Work of God for 1979.
Any donations sent to Tucson and made payable to the
Worldwide Church of God will appear on the Worldwide
Church of God receipt.
Should you have any questions after receiving the year­
end receipts, feel free to call us toll free at (800)-
423-4444.
Those living in California, Alaska, or
Hawaii should call (213) 577-5225.

WHY R. R. DONNELLEY WAS SELECTED TO PRINT THE PLAIN TRUTH AND QUEST
Many people have asked, over the last 3 or 4 years, why we placed the
printing of the Plain Truth and Quest with R. R. Donnelley and Sons. We
think it would be good to put on record some of the reasons why this was
done.
1. R. R. Donnelley's price for printing and mailing the Plain Truth is
the best price out of the other three printers who were investigated
and asked to bid on the job. This is largely due to the fact that
R. R. Donnelley has an interest in the paper-making industry which
enables them to keep prices lower.
