Tipping Guidelines - General Assembly

I received this information from Assembly Task Force Coordinator Paul Holt: THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION:

Some asked about information on “tipping” at the International Assembly. The Emily Post Institute offers the following guidelines on tipping:

Restaurant wait service (sit down) 15-20% pre-tax

Restaurant wait service (buffet) 10%

Restroom Attendant $0.50 - $3.00, depending on service

Valet $2.00 to $5.00

Skycap $2.00 first bag, $1.00 per additional bag

Doorman $1.00 to $2.00 for carrying luggage
$1.00 to $2.00 for hailing cab
$1.00 to $4.00 for going beyond the call of duty

Bellhop $2.00 for the first bag; $1.00 per additional bag

Housekeeper $2.00 to $5.00 per day, left daily

Concierge $5.00 for tickets or reservations, $10.00 if hard to get; no need to tip for answering questions

Taxi Driver 15% plus and extra $1.00 to $2.00 if helped with bags

These are only suggestions, but we do want to reward those who serve us well.

Note: There are “panhandlers” on the streets of Nashville. The City of Nashville does ask that money not be given to panhandlers.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
