GAF

The Golden Age Foundation’s shredding service event in the Clubhouse 2 parking lot will be on Thursday, March 4, from 10 a.m.–noon. The event will be a drop-and-go service only, so residents will not have to wait in line to have their items shredded.

GAF sponsors this free service and will be at the event to help shareholders if needed. Social distancing will be strictly enforced, and shareholders must wear face masks when dropping off materials to be shredded.

Its purpose is to help make the community a better place to live. It was established in 1973 and is not affiliated with the Golden Rain Foundation.

All GAF programs are provided free to Leisure World shareholders. The Foundation is entirely staffed by volunteers, so all contributions go directly to meeting community needs. The generous support of shareholders, residents, clubs, organizations and businesses is the main source of income. The foundation’s programs and projects are made possible by the volunteer efforts of many members.
