On Friday Apr 10th, 2026, 0900-1200, GLVFA hosted its second GlenLakes Community Shredding event.  GLVFA members volunteered their time and energy to direct traffic, answer questions, accept donations, and most importantly, retrieved boxes (and boxes, and even more boxes....) from residents automobiles and golf carts to hand over to the Shred-It truck operator to relieve our residents of literally tons of old paper documents. ​

Corporal Terry, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer (HSCO PIO) discussed several of their local support programs, notably their Care Line 352-797-3660 comforting those living alone with wellness checks.  The audience was very impressed with Sergeant Keiper's K-9, Riley, demonstrating detection of electronic devices, e.g., in support of child endangerment and other investigations.
We also dedicated a gorgeous custom speaker's podium built by Dick Rowland and Joe Christie, that was accepted by G for use by any and all organizations at the GlenLakes Clubhouse.  Its beautiful carved GLV&FA logo is easily replaceable by a carved GlenLakes logo as needed.
