Redemption for the Iowa Secularists!
What!?
That’s right, the Iowa Secularists need redemption. Can and bottle redemption, that is! The Iowa Secularists are asking you to pitch in and send us your can and bottle redemption money to help fund membership and community outreach.
Why Can & Bottle Redemption?
Well, first of all, it’s kinda funny! Second, it will be a bit of friendly competition. But more importantly, if each of us contributes a little, it will add up to a lot.
What is the money for?
The money for the Redemption drive will be earmarked exclusively for outreach. Specifically, we will use the funds to reach other Iowans who are looking for what you’ve already found – a community of people who share the same values that you do.
How does the Redemption Drive work?
First, redeem your cans and bottles to your local recycling center. Keep a tally of the redeemed amounts. Mail a check with “Redemption†in the memo for the amount redeemed to the Iowa Secularists at P.O. Box 883, Iowa City, IA 52244-0883 before the end of each quarter of the calendar year. On January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st of each year we will tally up the redemption amounts and announce how much we raised that quarter and who the biggest redeemer is. On January 1st of each year we will announce the total for the year and who the year’s biggest redeemer is.
The first quarter ends on September 30th so start redeeming today! We will announce this quarter’s leader on October 1st. Happy redeeming!
