What happened to second collections?

You may have noticed that we have not been doing as many second collections since the beginning of this year. We have eliminated the special collections for shrine maintenance, heat costs and other such specific needs in order to simplify things and not bother you with so many collections. We still have to pay those expenses but the money will come from the regular collection.

Thank very much for your generosity!
