Letter to All congregations in the USA, 2000-03-22: No specific amount as a contribution to cover the expenses oftraveling overseers
March 22, 2000
TO ALL CONGREGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
Dear Brothers:
For a number of years, congregations have been making contributions to a special fund to provide automobiles, auto insurance, and health coverage for traveling overseers and their wives. This arrangement has worked very well. All the traveling overseers in the United States have good, reliable transportation. The automobiles are being kept in good repair. Traveling overseers have received coverage for health care upon making request to the Society. And the expense has been equally distributed to all congregations. Your generous contributions to this fund through the years have been much appreciated.
This is to advise that we will no longer be recommending a specific amount as a contribution to cover the automobile and health-care expenses of traveling overseers. Instead, these costs will be covered from the Society's general funds as supported by your donations to the worldwide work.
May Jehovah continue to bless your loyal support of the Kingdom work. Be assured of our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,
Watchtower B . V . J . Society
