Jam and Salsa!

Several shifts are still available for Salsa. Because of the number of open shifts, we have cancelled Thursday, June 16th and have asked all who are scheduled on that day to reschedule their shift.

If you are still interested in registering for salsa, the links for registering are at the end of this email. For those who are new to the online registration process, please carefully read the instructions found at the top of each sign-up. If you still have questions after reading the instructions, please feel free to call the Cannery at 801-785-0998. Make sure to be at your computer and have this email open so we can quickly walk you through the process.

After the large number of no-shows and cancellations on Jam, we are reviewing several facets of scheduling family canning--including offering fewer days per product. In trying to meet the implied demand for Jam, we continued to add more days to our schedule. Every day was full so we ordered enough product to fill those days. When it came time to produce the jam, we had an inordinate number of cancellations and no shows. Some shifts were missing up to half of the needed patrons. We schedule the exact number of patrons needed to efficiently produce the product so, we are counting on every person who signs up. We need you to be as committed to being here as we are to providing the opportunity for you to come.

Please help us by reviewing the following concerns:

When you schedule a shift, it is your responsibility to write down the date, time, your UNDO code and patron# so you can responsibly supervise your own sign-up.

-Some said they couldn’t UNDO their shift because they couldn’t find their name listed.

You can always call the Cannery for help. We may remind you of your responsibility to write down your scheduling information, but we will help you.

-Some said they didn’t receive a reminder of their shift so they forgot to come.

Reminders were sent on April 28th , but they are only sent as a courtesy. This is never a valid reason for missing your shift. The fact that some did not receive the reminder is beyond our control. This is why you need to write down your scheduling information when you sign up.

-Some said they didn’t know how to contact us to cancel once the signup became inactive.

The Cannery’s phone number is given several times in the emails we send during Family Canning signups. You are asked to keep all of the emails we send until after you finish your shift. Please add our number (801-785-0998) to the contact information on your computer or cell phone so it is readily available to you as well. We will try to remember to put the phone number on each sign-up as well.

Do not use the email system to cancel your shift once the signup has become inactive.

Because we are busy trying to carry out the details prior to and during family canning, we are not able to monitor the emails as closely as we do during registration. We need to know as soon as possible that you will not be coming to your shift so we know what is available to those still trying to get registered. If no one is available to take your call, you are always welcome to leave a message. Our missionaries are very good about checking the phone messages between shift check-ins.

Please understand that the Lindon Cannery is very willing to offer Family Canning opportunities. We hope this is evident in how we are always trying to improve your experience when coming to participate. However, in order to utilize the Cannery’s facilities effectively, we need you to place a high priority on managing your sign ups so we can keep our shifts full and ready to work. Please let us know if there has been any oversight on our part in providing these opportunities.

Sincerely,
Lindon Cannery
