Next shredding event is July 13 at CH 2 parking lot

GOLDEN AGE FOUNDATION

The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) will sponsor a shredding service event on Tuesday, July 13, in the Clubhouse 2 parking lot from 10 a.m.-noon.

This event will be drop-andgo only, with no waiting in line. The GAF is asking people to observe social distancing and to consider wearing face masks when they drop off documents to be shredded.

The GAF would like to remind LWers of the following rules for the shredding service:

• Shareholders should drop off items to be shredded and leave.

• Material should be dropped off in a plastic or brown paper bag; cardboard boxes will not be accepted.

• Lines will not be allowed to form, and there will be no chairs for people to sit and wait for their documents to be shredded.

• GAF volunteers will guard bags until the shredding truck arrives; shredding is done on site.

• People should remove staples and paper clips from all documents.

• No electronic devices will be accepted.

• Contaminated bags will not be accepted.

The GAF is an independent nonprofit, 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to serving the residents of Leisure World Seal Beach.

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

GAF programs are provided free to Leisure World shareholders and are staffed by volunteers, so all contributions go directly to meeting community needs. The generous support of shareholders, residents, clubs, organizations and businesses is the GAF’s main source of income. The programs and projects are made possible by the volunteer efforts of many LWers. Donations are welcome. For more information, contact Anna Derby at (562) 301-5339.

GAF volunteers will be at the drop-off center to receive residents' documents to be shredded.
