The Kroger Rewards Program has been very lucrative for Michigan TU. Since its inception the program has raised several thousand dollars for Michigan TU. The process of signing up is easy and the benefits are great. Everyone shops for groceries, those that can choose to shop at Kroger’s have the added benefit of knowing that a portion of your purchases go directly to coldwater conservation.

All participants, including members who have already signed up must sign up for the program in order to earn funds for your group during 2010.

Even if you have members who sign up for Kroger Community Rewards in February or March—which will earn your organization funds as part of the 05/01/2009 to 04/30/2010 program—they must sign up again in April to continue earning rewards during the coming year 05/01/2010 to 04/30/2011.

It’s easy for your members to enroll or re-enroll in Kroger Community Rewards. They can visit www.krogercommunityrewards.com, click on “Michigan” and click on “Enroll” or “Re-enroll” All participants must have a valid online account at Kroger.com and must sign up online to participate. Organization members can no longer scan their group’s barcode at the registers or service desk.

You can opt out of receiving "Michigan Trout" as a hard copy.  Instead, you'll get an e-mail notification of the newsletter's posting on our website, http://www.michigantu.org/ , with a direct link to the newsletter, the day of its posting.  You won't have to wait anxiously by your mailbox anymore.  The online version will be in color, and you can forward the notification to non-members, too.  The rationale for this move?  Green.  Both environmental and financial.  Every paper subscription costs MITU about $4 per member annually in printing and mailing costs.  We have about 7000 TU members in the state.  Just think about the money we could save, and devote to cold-water conservation.  We need your help!  If you are so inclined, please follow this link and Opt-Out of receiving a paper copy of "Michigan Trout."
