Stake/Ward Temple Day

Humanitarian project—The school kit project is ongoing. If you would like to make bags or fill bags, and haven’t already signed up, contact Mary Jane Johnson, Marta Dorner, or Marta Valdizon . If you would like to donate fabric, one yard of sturdy 44/45 inch fabric will make 3 bags, probably not the straps. One yard of 54/56 inch wide fabric should make the bags and straps. Also, if you want to donate money for fabric or school kit supplies, see Mary Jane Johnson.
Lindon Stake Home Gardening Course - 6 week Friday-night series beginning February 4 and running through March 11. The classes will be held at the 1050 E. 200 S. church building at 7 p.m. Home gardening expert and author, E. Gordon Wells, Jr., covers everything from seed selection to a magnificent harvest. Learn recommended varieties, planning, planting, soils, mulching, tilling, weed control, insects and other pests, climate, watering, fertilizing, pruning, and fruit tree culture. Come green your thumb.

Family Canning Opportunity

Dear Subscribers,
 
On Friday, February 4th @ 8:00 a.m. the next signups for family canning will open for registration. Beef Stew will be offered February 22nd – 25th (4 days) and the Canned Beef Chunks/Ground Beef will be offered as combined items on March 2nd-4th and 8th-9th (5 days). You will only need to sign up for one shift to be able to purchase both Beef Chunks and/or Ground Beef.  Please pre-plan which days and times you want to schedule. We have very little time between the registration opening and the actual start date. We need signups to happen quickly.
 
You can go to the www.mysignup.com website right now to preview the details (prices, limits, etc. – subject to change) for each of these signups under the Coming_Soon links (instructions included below). When the links become active on February 4th, there will be a signup link for each day being scheduled. You will need to register for each product that you want to purchase and pay close attention to which day and which shift you are scheduling for.  (If you want both beef stew and beef chunks, you will need to go to a beef stew link to register for beef stew and then return to the list of links and select the link for the Canned Beef products and register for the meat. Initially, you will not be allowed to schedule the same person for more than one shift for the same product.)
 
Please note that when you schedule one shift  you will be able to purchase a combined limit of 6 cases for the canned beef products (beef chunks and/or ground beef). It is very important for you to double check your information before you confirm your shift so you are sure what you have ordered. (Remember: the only way to change or verify your information once you are scheduled is to UNDO your shift and reschedule.)
 
Remember you can practice on the Help_me_do_this link. Call the Cannery @ 801.785.0998, if you are still having problems with scheduling. Please UNDO any shifts that you schedule so we can keep it open and working for all who want to practice.
 
Follow each step carefully:
 
1)    In your web browser, enter www.mysignup.com
2)    At the top of the MySignUp page, to the right of the MySignUp.com logo, is a list of options. Click on the “Search for SignUp” option in the third line.
3)    Enter the Cannery’s email address (wel-ca-lindon-wetpack@ldschurch.org) in the box found under the following prompt that reads: 
“Enter the email address of the person that created the MySignUp.
Copying and pasting the email address may not work. If you get a blank page after you click the submit button, re-enter the email address. From the list of signups for the Cannery, select the link that represents the day & product you want to schedule.
 
Message from the Lindon Home Storage Center (Dry Pack):  a women’s grey, Rue 21, wool-like fabric jacket, was left at the Home Storage Center in December. If not claimed it will be donated to D.I. You may come to claim it or inquire by calling 801-785-0997 on Tues or Thurs from 9:00 a.m. – 7:00

Our chili costs $30.00/case of 24, 14.5 oz cans, contains beans and ground beef, and is gluten free.
 
Here are the instructions to find the links to sign-up.
 
Follow each step carefully:

Remember: Each column on the mysignup.com table is a different shift. Make sure to identify which column/shift time you are scheduling for. Reminders will be sent. Please read the reminder carefully to make sure what we have you scheduled for and what you thought you scheduled for is the same. If you do not find any boxes that say “Schedule this shift” in the column for the  time you want to schedule—it is full and you need to find another day or time that you can come.

Cannery Scheduling

UPDATE: We will still be scheduling for Thursday, February 3th and Friday February 11th (instead of the 4th)  This change helps to ensure that we have enough chili available for all to purchase on the day they come for their shift.  There will not be any family canning on Friday, February 4th.
 
For those who are new to the email list, the following information was sent earlier this week.
 
Our next signup for family canning to do Chili con Carne will open on Friday, January 21 @ 9:00 a.m. Please go to the MySignUp.com website for the details. (see new EASY instructions below)
 
We have found an easier way for you to get to the sign-ups, so if you have had trouble before—give it one more try!!

1)    In your web browser, enter www.mysignup.com
2)    At the top of the MySignUp page, to the right of the MySignUp.com logo, is a list of options. Click on the “Search for SignUp” option in the third line.

Thanks for your patience. This really is a necessity for us to continue to offer Family Canning opportunities in our limited time frames.

Pork and Beans Update

There are still a lot of shifts available on both Thursday, January 13th and Friday, January 14th to sign up for Pork & Beans. You have never tasted better pork & beans

Instead of the links saying pork_and_beans_thu/fri_JAN_13/14, they  read pork_and_beans_thu(fri)_FEB_13(14).
 
The dates are actually in January are next week.   The information is correct on the actual sign-up page.
 
If you are interested in scheduling, please do so as quickly as possible so we can determine if we will need to run both days or not. Those who will schedule or have already scheduled, please watch your emails for any updates! We may need others to come and help even if they don’t want to purchase. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW!!!
 
Please forgive the error on the link names. Instead of the links saying pork_and_beans_thu/fri_JAN_13/14, they  read pork_and_beans_thu(fri)_FEB_13(14).
