Peanut Butter, Here We Come!

Alright! We are getting ready for our ward's Peanut Butter Factory assignment that is coming up on September 25th (that's a Friday). This is only available to those who have already signed up, so if you have signed up, don't forget about this great opportunity for not only some service, but some great peanut butter as well! I personally have yet to try this peanut butter, but my husband grew up here and says he loves the church's peanut butter. I'll take his word that it's good. :) Our ward's shift is from 6-10 PM, but we need to be at the factory at 5:30 PM for orientation (see address and map below). If you would like to carpool meet at the church at 4 PM (we'll be leaving a bit early due to rush hour traffic), or you can just meet at the cannery. (Side note: you may want to bring some dinner or a snack to tide you over!)

Each person working at the factory may order a maximum of ONE case of peanut butter for $30 each (we're guessing that there are 12 jars of PB in each case, but don't take our word for it!). :) If a husband and wife are both going to work, each of them may order a case. If you are not able to attend, but would still like to get some peanut butter, you may opt to babysit for someone who IS attending and then share that peanut butter case with them (but you will not be able to order a whole case on your own--unless the person you're babysitting for doesn't want any). In any case, please make sure you have let Robin I. know what you are planning to order.

To pay for your peanut butter, write a check to the ward (just like you would for tithing) for $30 (or $60 if you and your husband are each getting a case), get a tithing slip and write "PB Factory" in the 'Other' section on the slip. Turn it in to a member of the bishopric. Your money needs to be turned in NO LATER THAN Sunday, September 20th. No money by then = no peanut butter. (Responsibility, reshmonsability...) :) You will be able to pick up your peanut butter from the church on Wednesday, September 30th (it has to be tested before you can take it home with you.)

The address for the cannery is:

16333 Hafer Road

Houston, TX 77090

Okay! *Whew!* That was a mouthful. :) But hopefully that answered all your potential questions and we'll see you there!
