On Friday, Apr 5th, 0900-1200, GLVFA hosted its first annual GlenLakes Community Shredding event.  GLVFA members volunteered their time and energy to direct traffic, answer questions, accept donations, and most importantly, retrieve 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.
