Help double our membership

Wednesday January 20, 2010
Let's grow to 2010 in 2010


As the Development Officer here at Ijams, I am very grateful to our members. It is through your valuable support that Ijams continues to preserve and improve the 175-acre wildlife sanctuary, offer quality environmental education programs and provide care for non-releasable animals. For the past several years, membership has remained steady at 1,000 members. As Ijams prepares to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Ijams Family Legacy next year, I pondered how we could commemorate this banner year in a truly sustainable way.  What if we could increase membership from 1,000 to 2,000 members in 2010? 

This ambitious goal is possible, but we need your help.

 How? What if you encouraged your friends or relatives to become an Ijams member?  Or better yet, with the holidays around the    corner, what if you purchased membership as a gift for someone special? Membership not only provides much-needed support for Ijams, but offers great benefits, such as discounted or free programs, the EarthWords newsletter, discounts to Ijams’ plant sales, gift shop, day camps and more. Please help us reach this goal of 2,000 members in 2010!

You can act now by visiting or encouraging others to visit the Ijams’ website at www.ijams.org and select “Support Us” and then select “Membership.” If you would prefer to have membership information mailed, you may reach me at (865) 577-4717 ext. 17 or e-mail sjudiscak@ijams.org. 

Together, we can make this a banner year by celebrating our 100th anniversary and doubling membership to 2,000! 

Thank you!

Happy Holidays!!
