There is an important change to the Family Canning procedure. Due to new product clearance regulations, no product can be sold the same day it is produced. Those who schedule the first day of any product must pick up their order after the last day the item is produced. This means if a product is produced on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, those who are registered on the first day cannot pick up their items until the following Friday or Monday. Pick-up dates for each product will be given at the orientation for your shift. We encourage those who live close to the Cannery to schedule on the first days to help those living further from the Cannery. You may pick up your product at subsequent shifts, but all products must be picked up before the day of the overage sale. We can not have anyone picking up on the same day as the overage sale.

Just a few reminders for successfully completing your Family Canning Registration:

1) We now have 5,500 people on our distribution list. Understandably, we cannot respond to emails sent to the distribution email address. You can not schedule family canning through email. Please mail the completed paper copy of the registration along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) must be mailed to the Lindon Cannery, 940 W Center, Lindon, UT 84042. We will return your confirmation in your SASE.

2) You must pull the attachment in through the Adobe Reader to print off a readable copy of the registration form. We cannot process registrations that are not in the proper format.

If you do not have the Adobe Reader downloaded, please go to the following website. It is a free download: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This program works like any other word processor. It is easiest to save the attachment to your desktop and then open and print the registration through the Adobe Reader program.

3) You are only allowed to schedule one shift per person until the Monday just before we begin production on an item. On the prior Monday, if there are open shifts or cancellations, we will take phone registrations ONLY for the product being produced that week.

4) Please remember to indicate the number of cases you want to order of each product you are scheduling. If an amount is not listed, you will be assigned 2 cases. This number cannot be increased. (You are always able to lower your order amounts when you check in for your shift.) You may, however, schedule a 2<sup>nd</sup> shift, if there are any available, beginning the Monday of the same week we begin processing the item.

5) Please only ?X? through dates and times that you absolutely cannot come. We will not schedule anything that has an ?X? through it. The 9:00 and 10:00 shifts are the most requested and fill up the fastest. We will schedule your circled dates and times first.

FYI: The Church Canneries are still not able to offer canned meats for family canning. We do not know when or if this will change. We have no further information on the status of this concern but will let you know as soon as anything changes! We are all hoping this will be resolved soon.
At this time, this Spring Family Canning schedule may be the only one offered at the Lindon Cannery in 2009 due to scheduled repairs on the building in October, November & December. If the maintenance is rescheduled, we will contact you through this distribution email.

Is this for all canneries or just the Lindon one. I have heard no message of this in St George

You just made me feel glad that I don't live anywhere near a cannery. Kinda.

I am not the most well-versed in cannery lingo and operations, but this letter makes no sense to me. Was it written by the communications department at BYU? Just curious.

Go Utes!

I got this, too, and thought the Lindon cannery has now subscribed to the Nicene Canning Creed...there is no sense in it.

Thank you for the info. My little brain is trying to process it. :blushing: I don't understand how I get the form to send in the SSAE?
I didn't get anywhere with either of the eMail addresses. :frusty:

Oh no! This was obviously the work of highly qualified, professional government bureaucracy at its finest. Must be FEMA...

That letter makes me want to fast. Or barf. :crazy::mad (3):

Basically, the cannery may not sell product made that day. Therefore if you happen to be there on the first day any product is made, you will have to purcase at later date.

Is this a rule for all canneries even the ones in the US or should I start to use the correct new world order term American, Mexican, Canadan Union or something like that.....! Opps I read Lindon as London!

I believe it has to do with new laws so it is probably here in the U.S.

Not sure about other countries but if I was the church, i would follow the same protocol to ensure ease of understanding and continuity.

So, Why not just go ahead and do your own home canning of your chicken - beef. etc? That way you know when and where it will be available. LOL

GAMom,
I'm from Texas, so I understand your southern logic, and fortunately those on this site have "come around" to this form of thinking as well... But whatever you do, don't spread this disturbing form of "common sense" around in public... There are many who may simply "pass out" just trying to process such thoughts... :l0 (20):

GAMom--I agree. This whole thread makes me glad that I do all my own fruit, vegetable and meat canning. I haven't even done much dry canning at the storehouse for several months. It makes more sense to order the items I want in bulk, pick the order up, and store them in buckets (with oxygen packs or dry ice) myself. Enjoyed the conversation anyway!
