August 1, 2018 - Re: 2019 Regional Convention and Rooming Arrangements

Dear Brothers:

We are very happy to be able to provide you with some details of your regional convention for 2019. [Announce venue.] The date of your convention can be found by logging in to our convention website, www . ibsaconvention . org. The website will provide you with information and direction if you wish to book accommodation for the convention. However, please note that the website will not go live until 9:00 a.m. on Monday, August 13, 2018. To access the website, please use the following password: [Announce password.]

As in previous years, a team of brothers has worked very hard to negotiate competitive rates with hotels local to our convention venues. We are confident that, in the majority of cases, our negotiators have managed to obtain cheaper rates for our delegates than could be obtained by individuals booking outside of our website. Some hotels have refused to negotiate, believing that they have no need to reduce their prices as they will receive bookings anyway. These hotels have been excluded from our website. By making bookings only with hotels appearing on our website, we may be able to motivate previously uncooperative establishments to offer better rates in the future. In some cases, only a limited number of rooms are currently listed on our website for certain hotels and conventions. However, it is anticipated that more rooms will be added in coming months.

Once logged in to the ibsaconvention.org website, if you require assistance, there is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section, which should provide answers to the most commonly encountered queries. There is also an email address for each convention where specific enquiries can be sent. However, we encourage all to be patient in making bookings before sending questions to the provided email address.

We pray Jehovah’s blessing on your plans to attend your regional convention in 2018 and send you our warm Christian love and best wishes.

Your brothers,

PS to body of elders:

Please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the end of the midweek meeting during the week of August 6, 2018, and then placed on the noticebaord. If you will not be having a congregation meeting that week due to a regional convention, the letter should be read after the Watchtower Study on the weekend preceding August 6. The venue and date of your convention will be provided in due course. Please note that the password for the ibsaconvention.org website is your congregation number.

The info provided does not support your statement on the adjustment made concerning 2019 regional convention from 3 days to 2 days!
