◆ Elders should arrange for a review of district assembly material on the service meeting. It would be good to schedule it soon after most of the congregation attends an assembly. Make appropriate adjustments in coverage of material in Our Kingdom Service for that month.
◆ The congregation accounts should be audited on June 1, or as soon thereafter as possible by the presiding overseer or someone appointed by him.
◆ The following new publications are available in English braille, grade two: A Secure Future—How You Can Find It; There Is Much More to Life!; Is There a God Who Cares? These may be obtained on a free-loan basis by submitting a written request to the Society, Attention: Braille Desk.
◆ The Government has announced that the Selective Service arrangement ceased to function as of January 23, so none now reaching 18 years of age will have to register. Brothers of draft age who are in the pioneer service, or elders or ministerial servants, should not request of the Society certificates to use verifying their ordination, since the draft arrangement no longer functions.
◆ As a reminder, all regular and special pioneers should bring their United States convention pioneer identification card with them to the assembly. This will be used in connection with meals and for literature.
