FOR THE BREMERTON CANNERY ARE:

The week of:
Jan 8th to 12th
Apr 2nd to 6th
May 14th to 18th
Jun 25th to 29th
Aug 6th to 10th
Sep 17th to 21st

Dec 10th to 14th

NOTE:
Scheduled sessions will be canceled if there are not a minimum of 4 people who sign up for the session.
There can only be a maximum of 12 people on each session because of the size of the cannery.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the 2013 assigned Bremerton Cannery schedule for all of the other LDS Stakes in the area:

2013 Cannery Schedule

Groups from a stake have first choice of days and times for their assigned week. Others can schedule session on the open weeks (they are in yellow on the schedule). Each Stake turns in their schedule 2 weeks before the session.
If there canning sessions are not full on the days assigned to the stake, then other groups can schedule people to attend for those days.

Days of the week and times a group can be scheduled at the Bremerton Cannery:

Tuesday 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Wednesday 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Friday 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The Bremerton Cannery is closed Sunday, Monday and Thursday. If you are going to schedule 2 sessions for your group on the same day we prefer that you schedule the sessions so they are consecutive (i.e. 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.) That will help the cannery directors not have to travel back to the cannery again on the same day or wait there all day for your 2nd session).

INSTRUCTIONS

You will need to turn this form in to the ward or stake Provident Living Specialist or the person coordinating your group so the forms can be forwarded to the cannery 2 weeks before your scheduled trip. Do not send the order form directly to the cannery unless you have made an appointment with the cannery yourself. You do not need to be a member of the LDS Church to use the cannery. You cannot bring your own food to can but members of the church can borrow the canner or velum bag sealer, purchase empty containers, then do the canning of the food at home. Every Friday you can come to the cannery and buy bulk supplies and empty containers that you can then use to can at home. The Friday hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (be sure to call before you come as some Fridays get canceled or the time changed to 6 p.m.). The contact number at the cannery during those hours on Friday is (360) 373-6028. Some people prefer to purchase the bulk food, oxygen packs and empty containers at cannery or other outlets like Winco. Then they just borrow the canner or sealer and do their own canning at home. The only items that are taxable are the items in the section of the order form under BULK PACKAGING MATERIALS.

(NOTE: you have to be a member of the LDS church to borrow the canner or sealer but anyone can purchase the cannery bulk packaging materials.
