“This is long, long overdue, but I do want to express my profound and sincere gratitude for the Benevolent Association! I am so thankful that I was able to stay there and dine there while I was attending Primary Class in July. It was so wonderful to be able to reside in such a beautiful and serene setting, where my meals were provided and I was divorced from material distractions. I am so grateful that the BA allows ‘Rest & Study’ guests and am particularly thankful that a discount is given to guests who are going through class. The helpful, pleasant staff added to the joyous experience.”

“… please accept our heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity offered us to celebrate our meeting in the beautiful living room at the BA…. The peaceful and harmonious atmosphere at the BA is very special and we are very grateful to have been allowed to get together in such perfect surroundings for the occasion. We were very happy there. We also want to thank you for the delicious lunch we were offered. Everybody just loved it and it was presented in such an appetizing way. Most enjoyable indeed! Please convey our gratitude to the others that took part in making the day so perfect for us. We all keep a lovely memory of our spiritual banquet at the BA. Thank you very much.”

“I have been coming to the BA for many years for Rest & Study and for my association meeting. I am so grateful for the lovely, quiet accommodations made for us on this glorious day, and very grateful to all the residents of the BA for their kindness and thoughtfulness, and especially for providing the inspiring testimony meeting on the Thursday evening before our association. The whole spiritual atmosphere just blends and lifts the thought to glorify God, and that is really why we are all here. Thank you to all who contributed to this spiritual, healing atmosphere.”

“I must thank you again for all you do to help make our association day so wonderful. There is such a beautiful atmosphere of love and peace throughout the BA. It is just the right place for us to come together for our inspiring mental refreshment. The human refreshment is very nice also. The meals were very good and so attractively arranged and served. The BA is truly a perfect atmosphere for healing and inspiration, and you do a beautiful job of overseeing all that creates that atmosphere. Thank you again, and I look forward to my next stay.”
