Event Description

The jars are ordered. They should be available for pickup this Sunday, June 20th.

If you placed a jar order, please review this pdf to make sure your order is correct: Jar-a-thon 2010.pdf Thanks!

We had 17 members order 64 cases of jars! Fantastic.

See the address & map in the Event Description (above) for directions to Seph's house in downtown Ithaca. Although Seph is generally home, it's a good idea to call first (tel# above).

Bring cash or make checks payable to cash at pickup time. Thanks.

************************************************************************

Original post:

Two summers ago canning jars were a scarce item in area stores -- many even ran out. So last year, IthaCan members beat the summer rush by ordering jars as a group. We ordered 96 cases in all.

This year we will be putting in another bulk order for Ball canning jars with lids & rings at Agway. Agway has offered us a 15% volume discount. We need to order at least 20 cases to qualify.

Available jars:
• wide mouth quart ($10.19/case)
• wide mouth pint ($9.34/case)
• regular mouth half pint ($8.49/case)
• wide mouth half pint ($9.34/case)
• quilted jelly jars half pint ($10.19/case)
• half gallon wide mouth ($10.19/case) - Note 6 jars/case

Note: There are 12 jars/case. Prices do not include sales tax.

If you are interested in joining the bulk order, please RSVP (blue link above) to this Event and write a comment specifying your order. List the size jar that you want. And how many cases you would like.

Order deadline: Friday, June 11.

If you're interested in other types of jars besides the three listed above, we might be able to order them, if there is enough interest among the membership. Indicate the type (ounces & mouth opening) and quantity on your RSVP.

Comment by crowjoy on June 28, 2010 at 10:07am: I haven't picked up jars yet because Marianne has my jars! She's a tricky one, gotta watch her! (J/K!)

Comment by persephone doliner on June 28, 2010 at 9:57am: Folks who have not yet picked up their jars, please do. You are
Tim, Claire, Alison, Katrina.
I'll be around all day Monday & some Tues. Thanks, Seph

Comment by persephone doliner on June 28, 2010 at 9:29am: Marianne,
This is good news. I'll be around Monday all day. See you then.

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on June 27, 2010 at 6:01pm: Thanks for double checking your jar order, Marianne! One less mystery in the world. Seph, will you be around tomorrow so Mairanne can swap?

Comment by Marianne Pelletier on June 27, 2010 at 2:29pm: Hi, I evidently ended up with 3 cases of 4 oz quilted jelly jars, when I bought 3 cases of 8 oz. quilted jelly jars. I've go them -- can I stop by tomorrow to trade? --Marianne
