We are adding one more day for Jam, but this is the last day we will be able to offer. Please do not schedule for more than one shift per person at this time. We want as many people as possible to have a chance to get on the schedule. We also ask that if you become aware of schedule conflicts, please remember to UNDO your shift so others will be able to come.
At 5:00 pm today (April 5th) we will open another sign up for Wednesday, May 18th. You may go to the link and read the instructions beforehand, just remember to refresh your screen at 5:00 so the page will become active to sign up.

Click on the above link to schedule. Keep this email to have all the links necessary to check back over the next couple of days for updated openings. Please remember to only schedule one person per household unless you are ordering more than the 6 case limit per person.
All information below is a copy of the email sent last Friday. Those who didn’t receive this email previously will need to read on. If you have already read this information, you can stop reading here. However, everyone who signs up for this opportunity is responsible for all information given in Friday’s email below:
Friday’s Email (+ links for all of the days listed at the bottom):
Dear Subscribers:
We just barely finished our canned beef shifts and it is already time to start thinking ahead to our next family canning opportunity! We know this is a little ahead of schedule, but we still have to finalize our fruit order—so we need you to look ahead and sign up quickly if you want to participate.
The online sign-ups for Strawberry and Marion Blackberry Jam will open on Saturday, April 2nd at 6:00 a.m. We will be processing on May 10th-13th. Each flavor of jam comes in a case of 12 pint jars. Strawberry Jam will cost $18.60/case and Marion Blackberry Jam will cost $25.20/case. There is a combined limit of 6 cases. (Example: 4 cases strawberry + 2 cases marionberry = the 6 case limit. OR 6 cases strawberry + 0 cases marionberry = 6 case limit.)
Everyone knows that strawberry jam is wonderful; but for those who have never tasted the Marionberry Jam, we lovingly call it the “celestial kingdom jam”--so don’t miss out! (smiling)
To help you plan ahead, we will tell you that jam has a “best by” date of 3 years but will store on the shelf for a long, long time. We also rotate the flavors every other year. So, next year—IF we have time to offer jam (depending on our welfare assignments for the Church)--we probably won’t be doing these two flavors.
The Cannery always wants to work at full capacity, so please offer any unwanted cases to someone who isn’t able to come and work a shift. Have them pay you for their cases and you pay the Cannery. (We can not accept payment from those who don’t actually come to work at our facility.) Also, until we see how quickly sign-ups will fill up, please do not schedule multiple people from the same household if you are not ordering more than the 6 case limit. This request allows more people to participate.
Please remember that the shifts last for 2.5 hours. This is so we can continue to work while the next shift is being oriented. We have had several people come to their shift and ask to leave early. You need to make sure you schedule your shift at a time that you can stay for the entire 2.5 hours.
Also, please read all instructions for each signup page so you understand any differences in product availability. You are accountable for knowing and remembering what you are committing to do. Even though the online signups are not yet open for scheduling, you can still look at the signups beforehand and read the instructions by selecting the link you want to schedule:
