Vital Document Scanning is Oct. 21

The Leisure World Emergency Information Council will hold its fourth free vital document scanning event on Monday, Oct. 21, from 1-3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 7. LW residents can bring their wills, stock and membership certificates, Medical Power of Attorney documents and other important papers to be scanned onto a free thumb drive. Driver’s license and credit cards will be copied and then scanned as well. The documents will be converted into a convenient form to easily fit in emergency go bags.

People can also buy waterproof canisters to store the drive and a fireproof bag to keep original documents safe. Residents who have previously had documents scanned onto a drive can bring additional documents to be scanned and added to it for free.
