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.

If it is possible to add to the order (and if not, don't worry about it) . . .

I'd take a case of

4 oz jars
8 oz. quilted jelly jars
wide mouth half pint
half gallon wide mouth

Thanks for all your work on this. If it works out that you can add to the order, that would be great, but if not, I know I procrastinated on this . . .

Do you need any help with picking up the cases from Agway?

Nancy

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on June 12, 2010 at 10:57am: Hey everyone,

Will tabulate the group order and get it to Agway Mon or Tues. Looks like we collectively have over 60 cases.

Cheers,

Kate

Thank you!

Comment by crowjoy on June 11, 2010 at 8:29am: Awesome! Thanks! (I saw some out at the store but resisted, hoping to get in on the Jar-a-Thon!)

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on June 11, 2010 at 8:22am: CJ, will check with Agway when I place the order next week, but I'm 90% sure they carry them and it won't be a prob.

Comment by crowjoy on June 11, 2010 at 8:15am: Hi Katie, do you know yet if the 4oz can be included?

Comment by Sharon Kaplan on June 10, 2010 at 9:49pm: I'll take 2 cases wide mouth half pint and 1 case wide mouth pint
