On Saturday, April 27, the Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) Class of 2019 will shred documents for businesses and individuals. Anyone can bring their papers to shred to the LOLHS parking lot from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a donation.
Many people have unwanted papers sitting in boxes or on desks around their house. The papers could be old tax returns, bank statements, bills, credit card statements, newspapers or school ditto sheets. This fundraiser provides the community an opportunity to securely discard unwanted papers from houses or businesses.
“We are excited to hold this Shred-it Fundraiser because the demand for secure document shredding services is growing. This fundraiser provides a low cost way to accomplish this community service,” said LOLHS senior Brynn McGlinchey, the event organizer.
Last year, this high school class conducted this same fundraiser. It collected over 120 bags of unwanted papers and generated over $1,200.
The class used the funds for its class activities. Class activities included three dances and many community service projects throughout town.
