Lions Food Drive in conjunction with Shredding Day
Shredding event Saturday April 24th
Please note that we will be respecting social distancing. A Lion or Boy Scout will take your shredding material from your car and put it in the Shredder.
Due to Covid and in an effort to protect you and our Lions and Boy Scout volunteers there are a few rules that we need to implement.
Please:
Stay in your car
Wear a mask
Place shredding material in your trunk beforehand if possible
There will be an area to pull over out of the traffic lane if you need to exit car to deposit shredding material or witness the shredding of confidential documents.
Respect Social Distancing
Drive One Way – Exit around building
We are accepting free will donations. Our costs have increased, so please be as generous as you able to be.
We hope to see you on April 24th.
