In April, U.S. members received the pastor general's letter announcing the fall festival--"Celebrate Christ 2000."
Our letter requests your registration form by June 26. We will accept registration up to the festival, but to meet our planning goals, it helps if you register as early as possible if you plan to attend. Your registration donation allows us to meet many pre-festival expenses as well as helps us complete administrative plans to be prepared for the beginning of the festival Oct. 13.
When we receive your registration form, we will mail you information about the site you plan to attend, including information on hotels and other housing facilities. When you receive this information you may call the housing establishments.
Three sites will have eight-day celebrations: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Davenport, Iowa; and Seaside, Oregon. Three other sites will meet for an extended opening weekend celebration during the first four days of the festival: Saratoga Springs, New York; Hot Springs, Arkansas; and Palm Springs, California.
If you misplaced the April letter with the registration form, we have duplicated that form here for you. Just clip it out and mail it to the address given. Better yet, call our toll-free number, 1-800-507-2299, and register instantly. You can also register on our church web page at http://www.wcg.org/festival
