Outreach
SHRED EVENT A BIG SUCCESS!!!
Last Saturday we received many thanks from our community for having the free Shred Event. The Shred Mill Company said we collected and shredded over 3,000 pounds of paper in two hours!!
I am very thankful to the volunteers who helped with this Outreach event and grateful to our very generous community for donations received totaling $1,430 after expenses! Needless to say we are planning to make this a semi-annual event for our community.
