GAF serves 450 cars during shredding service
Golden Age Foundation (GAF) volunteers served over 450 vehicles in two hours during the shredding event on March 5.
The GAF would like to thank the GRF Security staff for directing the traffic flow to avoid accidents or heavy traffic.The GAF also thanks Recreation Manager Thomas Fileto, who made sure the event was posted on the marquee to remind residents about the service, and the LW Weekly’s publicity on the front page a week before the event to help spread the news of this service. Without this coordination, the GAF wouldn’t have had a record-breaking turn-out.
Twelve GAF volunteers worked together, handling the steady flow of vehicles and hundreds of bags without any glitches. They worked hard to keep up with the vehicles and helping the shredding truck driver move and empty the bins.
The GAF asks residents to put all documents to be shredded in paper or plastic bags; no boxes. Plastic bags must remain untied so volunteers can check shredding materials before dumping items into the bin each time to prevent a truck fire.
Appreciation goes to volunteers Carl Kennedy, Dave Fourney, Fara Mccartney, Shery Wells, Roberta Johnson, Sophie Jin, Linda Johnson, Rosemarie Da Roza, Martha Goossens, Cheryl Falconer, Marilyn Haine, and Anna Derby. The GAF would also like to thank those who dropped off generous donations at the end of the service.
