SHREDDING IT
The annual Rotary Club of Grand Island’s Shred It Event was a huge success on Saturday, June 15 as over two tons of documents were shredded and more than $3,000 was raised for the club to use for youth programs in the town. Shred It was held in the Tops plaza adjacent to Key Bank on Grand Island Blvd.
Event Chair and Sponsor Christine Learman said, “Despite the wind and rain, we had a steady stream of vehicles from our Grand Island neighbors and so many expressed how excited they were to purge and shred their paperwork, knowing it was for the good causes supported by our Rotary Club.”
Ms. Learman also credited the number of Rotary members who volunteered for the event, adding “Many hands, make light work.”
A portion of the proceeds will be used to support the Rotary Club of Grand Island’s 10-year commitment to support the Miracle League. This is the club’s eighth year of financial support to the league which maintains a handicapped accessible ball field and playground on Grand Island.
