Cannery opportunity

I just wanted to let everyone know about this great opportunity - please make sure you take advantage of this!

Below is a note from our Stake Family Preparedness specialist - it emphasizes the importance of being prepared at all times - I remember a few years ago when grain and rice went sky high. Being a little emotional in my preparation, I "stocked up" for fear of prices going even higher. Looking back (after prices fell in HALF!) I should have just been consistent in my supply, regardless of the world market. Lesson learned, right??? So, as you read the information below, keep in mind that this may be a good time, financially speaking, to "catch up" on where you are lacking in your storage, before prices escalate - but don't over do it! :)

Tuesday - August 17, 2010 - 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Since Russia has imposed an export ban (from August 15 until Dec 31) imposed because of the shortage of grain due to drought and the fires in that country, other countries are quickly buying up commodities. It seems the stability of the world food supply cost to the consumer could go either way depending much on the weather. So far our Family Home Storage Center products pricing has not changed since January. However it is thought that due to the probable shortage of grain that the prices of food overall will increase this fall. I still feel that the price of wheat, for instance, is still a very good buy at the Sandy Store Dry Pack Center. We should encourage our Ward members to continually rotate and replentish their 90 day and long term (1 year) supply of food. Do let them know that if they cannot make the 9 to 1:00 p.m. time slot on Tuesday 17th they can take their chances at the Dry Pack Cannery by walking in any time when they are open; to can and purchase. Sometimes cans that have been filled by previous groups will be on the shelf and can be purchased. I walked in yesterday and purchased dried apples and quick oatmeal.
