UPDATE FROM MAIL PROCESSING
Feast Volunteers Serve on the WATS Lines
Four hundred brethren attending the Feast of Tabernacles in Pasadena took
the opportunity to serve on the Work's Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS).
They answered 29,006 phone calls, most of which were in response to "The
WORLD TOMORROW" program.
The volunteers were from countries around the world: Australia, New Zea
land, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa, France, England, the Caribbean,
Canada, and the United States.
Their enthusiasm, zeal, and cooperation
exemplified the spirit of teamwork and unity that prevailed throughout the
Feast.
Mail Count Soars During Feast
Now that the Feast of Tabernacles-is over, Mail Processing employees are
busy tackling the mountain of mail that arrived during the festival break.
Some 500,000 pieces accumulated! This is substantially more than in pre
vious years.
With many employees putting in overtime, we expect to be .
caught up with most of the backlog in three to four weeks.
Some Delays in Visit Requests Anticipated
Because the office was closed for the Feast and we received a higher amount
of mail than usual, we expect some of the ministerial visit requests to be
delayed. Top priority will be given to these requests, but they may be two
or three weeks old by the time they reach you. Thank you for your patience
and understanding.
Young Ambassadors Impress TV Audience
Many people called or wrote to say how inspired they were by Mr. Armstrong's
September 10-11 telecast featuring the Young Ambassadors.
They were im
pressed by the high quality of the performance, the beautiful campus
grounds, and the example of the students. A few remarked that the program
helped give them a foretaste of the Millennium. Following are some of the
comments we received:
