We did not receive this tip in our stake unit, but the wards in our stake did get it. The header said that it was sent to "Stake Clerks" but it did not arrive in our stake MLS messages.

Did any other stake units receive the tip?

We did not receive it, but we often receive messages about a week later than the wards when they are sent to both locations.

I don't recall seeing it in the ward messages either.

I will be at our stake center this afternoon and will check to see if we received the message.

Edit: Nothing at our stake.

My ward never gets these messages. You have said previously that they only go to wards in the US and Canada. I am a ward clerk in a military ward stationed in Germany. I think military stakes and units should get these notices as well. Our meetings are held in English, our annual materials order comes from SLC (ie, not from the European distribution center that is 20 minutes from my house), our members predominately pay tithing in dollars, and we are for all intents and purposes a US-based unit. We just happen to live overseas.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll pass the information along and look into the possibilities.

Please continue to post feedback on if the tip was received at the stakes. I will also be following-up with this issue.

Checked my stake MLS around Noon today and the message was not there.

The tip was sent again to all stakes in US and Canada. Please let us know if you are still not receiving the tip.

Just checked MLS. No tip this week.

Nor here, sorry.

Our stake received this tip dated 14 October 2009.

On October 21st, our stake received two copies of this tip, one dated October 8th and one dated October 14th.

Neither of them came down on the 10th, 11th, 14th, or 18th when we also did successful Send/Receives. Looking at the dates, one or both of them should have.

Yes ours came too, but with the older than expected dates as well.

We found that the tip (mainly to stakes) was not sent out properly due to a minor system error. That is why the tip was late and some may have received more than one. Thank you for the feedback.
