Community shred day coming up

It only happens about every other year, but Community Shred Day is almost upon us.

The local Rotary Club started organizing the event several years ago to bring in a paper shredding truck to get that job done right after tax-filing time means people have old records they no longer need but would like to shred, not just toss in the garbage.

This year, the local Lions Club is joining in the effort, too.

April 26 will be the day this year that people can head to North Dam Park by the Gerkhe Windmills to have their documents shredded, for free. Donations will gladly be accepted but not required. The event will last from 8 a.m. to noon, or until the truck runs out of room.
